When a leak begins spouting, or a drain is blocked, or even the hot water simply isn’t, the last thing you need is to have to wait for a plumber to get there. In an urgent plumbing scenario, frequently the longer you wait, the worse things get.
Plumbing disasters are not pre-booked let alone convenient. There are a lot of ways that a plumbing emergency can cause havoc, and that’s why we strive to be there as fast as possible, even when it’s public holiday or after hours.
No matter what the time, call us and our 24 Hour plumbers will respond straight away. We will be there quickly, and fix your Caringbah emergency plumbing problems efficiently and speedily so your life can get back to usual.
We have been looking after Caringbah for years, and our highly trained plumbers know how, equipment and parts to fix all sorts of plumbing issues quickly and effectively. We’ll clean up any mess we make before we leave.
As well as emergency plumbing, we also do every-day plumbing. If you’ve got a non-urgent plumbing job, call or email our office and we’ll make sure it gets sorted. Our friendly reliable team are ready and waiting to serve you.
What do you do when a plumbing disaster strikes? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if needed turn the power off on the power box.
If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest access point and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot locate the water main isolation valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the system and minimise the leak.
Once that is done, give us a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be with you promptly to get things sorted.
While waiting, remove any important items close to the leak, and wipe up any water or position a container to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
The water main shutoff valve is usually positioned on the boundary close to the road, under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting this off can save your home from more leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
Our Caringbah after hours plumbers know that a clogged drain can be a serious health risk that needs attending to right away. That is why we offer our emergency plumbing service.
Blocked drains can be a serious health risk, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can fix it on your own with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the pipes cleared.
Whether it is the bathroom sink that won’t empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across the garden, our urgent Caringbah plumbers will quickly locate the problem and fix it so that life can get back to normal.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the problem to prevent further damage and get back with what is required as soon as we can.
If you have a plunger, it is a good idea to try to clear a clog yourself. We suggest using a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely do a good job and can damage the drains.
Do not let a blocked pipe get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
Had a hard day at work and desperately want a refreshing shower? Time to put the kids in the bath? Got a sink-full of dishes to finish off? It is never convenient to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly realise that the water is lukewarm.
If the hot water isn’t up to temperature, you want it hot again as soon as possible. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can quickly identify the issue and get it resolved.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and can cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of your home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your wallet very swiftly.
When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Caringbah emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our friendly team can help pick the best solution for your household needs, budget and location. If the whole system is past it’s use by date and worn out, we can schedule repairs at a time that works for you as well.
From the small clean water pipes in the walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the ground, most of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We do not even remember them until there’s an issue.
Ususally you barely even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden we are looking at a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it sorted out as soon as possible, to prevent damage to your home, possessions and well-being.
When you find a leak or burst pipe, phone our emergency plumbers as soon as possible. We are waiting to assist Caringbah residents right away. While you are waiting for us to get there, it could be useful to turn off the water to the house.
There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps might fail. If you live in a very cold location, the pipes might have frozen and cracked. They may just be old and past their use-by. They might not have been installed properly when the home was built. Tree roots can grow into underground pipes.
When our 24 hour plumber is present, they will locate the issues and fix them in a rapid and expert manner.
Do you own a busted tap? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a geyser impression?
A lot of customers over the years have mentioned how frustrating it can be to have a dripping or broken tap. You may not even be aware of the drip during the day, but at night when it is resounding throughout the house like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it’s a major problem.
It isn’t just frustrating drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
Whether you just need a washer, or a whole new faucet, our 24 hour plumbers have got what you need. All our vans are well equipped with parts and have a modest choice of replacement taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we do not have the faucet you want, we can put in an interim tap until we find what you want.
From emergency plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too extensive or little for our Caringbah plumbers. Not only can we sort out leaking taps, we also provide a wide range of additional plumbing services.
How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?
Normally, a dripping faucet is caused by a worn out or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of tap, we can frequently replace dilapidated parts on the spot for a very modest price.
