Urgent Plumbers FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What should you do when you find a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If you find water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the power at the power panel. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.

Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to cut off all the water to the house.

Once that’s done, give our plumber a call, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be there shortly to fix the leak.

While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any important items from the area, and clean up any water or put a bucket to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

The primary shutoff valve is generally located on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black cover. You may know it as the water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning this off can save your house from increasing flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.

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

Blocked Drains Hassles

We know a clogged pipe can be a serious problem. Whether it is the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our crew of urgent plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged drains can cause damage to your abode, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the block yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need a professional there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Whether it is a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.

In the rare instance that we can’t get the obstruction completely removed or more extensive repairs are required, we will find a temporary solution to tide you over until our plumbers return.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to clear the blockage yourself. We recommend using a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom do a good job and can damage the drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Hot Water Problems

We tend to take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Need to put grubby kids in the shower? Deperately need a good soak to defrost after a long cold day? Got some of dishes to take care of? It is hard to have a good wash up when the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you want it sorted promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is barely warm or boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it working again as soon as possible so you can get back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of the usual home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your pocket very rapidly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Burraneer urgent plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water flowing again quickly. If there is 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 your old hot water cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our professional plumbers can help in identifying the best soutions for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also tired, we can schedule an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Sorted Promptly

The pipes in your home are a largely unseen but significant part of daily life. Large and small, in the earth, in the wall or the ceiling, they carry fresh water to your home and take the used stuff away.

Normally you never even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly we are looking at a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it sorted out asap, to prevent damage to your house, belongings and health.

The moment a leak is found, give us a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on the road rapidly. We’re ready to answer day or night. Before they get there, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to prevent yet more flooding.

Why did the pipe start leaking?

Pipes and taps can break down for a variety of reasons. The pipes might simply be old and dilapidated. Or they could have iced up in very cold weather and ruptured. Tree roots might have forced open underground joints. Or there could be an issue with how they were installed in the first place.

Once our after hours plumber is present, they can isolate the issues and fix them in a rapid and expert manner.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you own a problem faucet? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain defective?

Many clients over the years have told us how frustrating it can be to have a dripping or defective faucet. You may not even hear the drip during the daytime, but in the small hours when it is reverberating throughout your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it is a major issue.

As well as keeping the household awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s hot water. Don’t let the bills rise further, or maybe even cause damage to your house, call our after hours plumber right away.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need in the vans to halt that leak. Our plumbers carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you require a new one, or can install a temporary one if needed.

As well as providing Burraneer with urgent plumbing of all kinds, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too extensive or too small.

The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I temporarily stop them to get some sleep?

Usually, a dripping faucet is caused by a worn out or faulty washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of tap, we can usually replace worn out parts immediately for a very reasonable cost.
