What do I do when a plumbing emergency hits?
What do you do when a plumbing disaster hits? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the electricity off at the breaker box.
If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest location and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot find the main isolation valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the diaster from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, at any time of the day or night. They will be there quickly to solve the problem.
While you are waiting, clear away any significant items close to the leak, and mop up any water or place a bucket to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.
I don’t know where the main water tap is!
The primary isolating valve will be on the edge of the property near the road. It is typically set into the ground underneath a blue or black plastic cover.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.
We understand a clogged pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked pipe is never a good thing. That is why our team of on call plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.
Blocked drains can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the clog yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need someone there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.
Whether it’s the kitchen sink that will not empty, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the garden, our emergency Hornsby plumbers will quickly locate the obstruction and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.
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 problem to prevent further damage and get back with what is required as soon as we can.
I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?
We endorse attempting to clear simple clogs with a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have a plunger, or it doesn't clear the obstruction, we don't recommend chemicals as they rarely get the job done well, and may even cause more damage to your pipes.
Do not let obstructed drains ruin your day. Ring our same day Hornsby emergency plumbing team right away!
We generally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Need to put mucky kids in the bath? Need a good soak to defrost after a freezing day? Have a pile of of dishes to take care of? It is awkward to have a proper clean when the water is cold.
If the hot water is not up to temperature, you want it sorted promptly. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can quickly identify the problem and get it fixed.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and can cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around thiry percent of the usual home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your pocket very swiftly.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Hornsby on call plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you do need a new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick a suitable option for your budget, requirements and location. If your whole hot water system needs improvements, we can arrange to do that in a opportune manner as well.
From the little fresh water pipes in your floor, walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, the majority of the pipes in your house are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even remember them until there is an issue.
Ususally you don’t even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and all of a sudden we’re looking at a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be resolved immediately, to prevent damage to your house, belongings and health.
The moment a leak is discovered, give our team a ring, and our on call plumbers will be on the road rapidly. We are ready to answer day or night. Before they get there, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to prevent yet more flooding.
Why did the pipe start leaking?
There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps can break down. If you live in a extremely cold region, the pipes may have frozen and burst. They may just be old and worn out. They may not have been installed properly in the first place. Tree roots can grow into subterranean connections.
Once our 24 hour plumber arrives, they will locate the issues and repair them in a prompt and professional manner.
Do you have a broken faucet? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a fountain?
A lot of clients over the years have told us how vexing it can be to have a dripping or broken faucet. You may not even hear the drip during the daytime, but in the small hours when it is resounding throughout your home like someone practicing the drums, suddenly it is a major issue.
Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate the bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your residence, call us now.
Whether you need an entire replacement tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our expert emergency plumbers can rapidly diagnose the cause and remedy it. We even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets in their van to pick from, or can install a temporary one if required.
From large to small, our Hornsby on call plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we provide a broad range of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.
How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?
Find a piece of string of some type, and knot it around the tap spout so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and dribble off quietly.
