What do you do when a plumbing emergency strikes? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if you need to, turn the electricity off at the breaker box.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to stop all the water to the property.
Once that’s done, give our team a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be there rapidly to fix the leak.
While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any important things close to the leak, and clean up any water or position a bucket to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.
The main isolating valve will generally be on the edge of the property close to the road. It is typically set in the ground underneath a blue or black plastic cover.
It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
We realise a obstructed drain can be a major problem. Whether it’s the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That is why our team of same day plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.
Blocked drains can be a major health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. Sometimes you can fix it yourself with a plunger and a little know-how. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there speedily to get the pipes unblocked.
Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the complication to prevent further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as possible.
If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a clog yourself. We recommend using a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely work well and can cause damage to your pipes.
Do not let a obstructed pipe ruin your day. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
You usually do not realise how heavily we rely on easy quick hot water until it is not there any longer. Just finished up in the garage and really want a shower? Want to take care of a pile of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s barely warm.
When the hot water has fallen short, give us a call. Our plumbers will be there quickly to identify the issue and find a solution. From heating elements to defective thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can sort them out and get you back to normal life.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of the average home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your wallet very swiftly.
When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Ballarat same day plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the cylinder is not able to be fixed, our professional team can help pick the most suitable solution for your household requirements, budget and location. If your whole system is aged and deteriorating, we can organise improvements at a time that suits you as well.
From the small clean water pipes in your floor, walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, most of the pipes in your home are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even remember them until there’s an issue.
Ususally you barely even think of them. Not until there’s a problem, and suddenly you are standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be sorted out immediately, to minimise damage to your home, possessions and health.
Our same day plumbers are ready to be there right away, so call our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can minimise further leaks by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if needed.
There are a variety reasons why pipes and taps might break down. If you reside in a very cold climate, they may have iced up and split. They could simply be old and worn out. They may not have been properly installed when the home was built. Tree roots can grow into subterranean joins.
Once they arrive, our emergency plumber will locate the issue and quickly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of the pipework if required to look for other damage.
Do you own a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether busted?
Many clients over the years have mentioned how frustrating it is to have a dripping or broken tap. You may not even notice the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it is resounding throughout the house like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it is a major problem.
Not only can it keep the whole house awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it is hot water. Do not let the bills increase further, or maybe even cause damage to your home, call our on call plumber now.
Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole new tap, our emergency plumbers have the parts that you need. All the vans are well equipped with parts and carry a small choice of replacement taps and faucets to select from if required. If we don’t have the tap you require, our plumber can put in a temporary faucet until we find what you need.
As well as serving Ballarat with same day plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too big or too small.
The drips are keeping me awake, how can I stop them temporarily to get some sleep?
Find a length of string of some type, and knot it around the faucet aerator so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the string and trickle off quietly.
