I've got a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing calamity arises? 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 needed turn the power off on the power panel.

If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest service valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot find the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.

Once that is done, give our plumber a call, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be with you promptly to fix the leak.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin mopping up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away valuable things from the affected area. If the mains water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

I don’t know where the main water tap is!

You might know it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is generally positioned on the property perimeter close to the road, usually under a blue or black cover.

It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Our Woronora Heights urgent plumbers understand that a clogged pipe can be a major health risk that needs attending to immediately. That is why we provide our after hours plumbing service.

Blocked pipes can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to clear the problem yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need a professional there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink will not drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll arrive at your home quickly to resolve the issue. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

In the rare case that our plumbers can not get the blockage completely cleared or more extensive repairs are required, our team will find an interim solution to get you through until our plumbers return.

I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?

If you've got a plunger, it's worth trying to remove the blockage yourself. We suggest using a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can cause damage to your pipes.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

We generally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Time to put grubby kids in the bath? Need a good soak to defrost following a long cold day? Got a sink-full of of dishes to finish up? It is hard to have a proper wash up when the water is lukewarm.

If the hot water is not hot enough, you want it to be working again as fast as possible. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen everything and can quickly identify the problem and get it resolved.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of the average household’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your pocket very rapidly.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Woronora Heights after hours plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If you find 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 you do need a new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick a suitable option for your budget, needs and location. If your entire hot water system needs improvements, our plumbers can arrange to do that in a timely fashion as well.

The pipes in your house are a normally hidden but important part of your everyday life. Big and little, in the earth, in the walls or the ceiling, they bring fresh water to you and take the dirty stuff away.

Normally you never even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and all of a sudden you’re standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be resolved immediately, to minimise damage to your home, furnishings and well-being.

When you identify a leak or burst pipe, phone our after hours plumbers immediately. Our team are waiting to assist Woronora Heights residents right away. Whilst waiting for us to get there, it may help to turn off the water to the home.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can fail for a variety of reasons. They might simply be old and worn out. Or they may have frozen in extremely frigid weather and burst. Tree roots might have grown into subterranean seals. Or there could be a problem with how the pipes were set up to begin with.

Our 24 hour plumbers can diagnose and fix the damaged pipes or leaks speedily and precisely.

Do you have a broken tap? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a geyser?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a serious irritation. Something that might go unnoticed in the brouhaha of daily life without warning sounds like someone playing the bongos in the middle of the night, disturbing your sleep.

It is not just frustrating drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need on hand to fix that leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink faucets to choose from if you need a new one, or can install a temporary one if needed.

As well as serving Woronora Heights with after hours plumbing of all types, our team are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too great or too small.

How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?

Find a piece of string of some kind, and tie it onto the faucet spout so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and trickle off quietly.
