After Hours Plumbers FAQ

Help, I’ve got a plumbing emergency!

Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so turn the electricity off at the power box if needed first.

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 valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water tap to stop all the water to your property.

Once that is done, give us a call, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be there shortly to resolve the problem.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important possessions close to the leak, and wipe up any water or place a bucket to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

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

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Problems

When your drains are overflowing, you want help right now. Our after hours Darlinghurst plumbers know how frustrating and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.

A clogged drain is a serious problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it by yourself using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to see, or smell!

Whether it’s the ensuite sink that won’t drain, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across the garden, our emergency Darlinghurst plumbers will quickly locate the problem and clear it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we need available to fix almost all drain blockages right away. If there is an underlying issue that needs other equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are completed.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you have a plunger handy you can attempt to clear the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please do not use chemicals as they rarely do the job properly and the chemicals can ruin the pipes.

Don’t let a obstructed drain send your day down the tubes. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Tank Problems

We often do not realise how much you count upon easy quick hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished in the garden and really want a wash? Time to finish off a few dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the water and discover it’s lukewarm.

If the hot water isn’t up to standard, you need it to be working again as soon as possible. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it fixed.

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

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Darlinghurst after hours plumbers immediately. We will 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 replacement hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking the best solution for your budget, needs and area. If your whole hot water system needs improvements, we can arrange to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Fast

Large or small, hidden in the earth or in the floor, wall or ceiling, the various pipes in your home are a unseen but integral part of daily activities. They bring fresh water to your residence, and transfer dirty water and sewage out.

Often, people barely even recall them until something goes drastically wrong. But when it does, it’s generally a serious problem that must be sorted out immediately before the building, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

As soon as a leak is discovered, give our team a ring, and our after hours plumbers will be on their way quickly. Our team are waiting to take your call 24/7. Before they get there, it could be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to prevent yet more flooding.

Why did the pipe fail?

There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps might burst. If you live in a cold climate, they may have frozen and cracked. They could just be old and dilapidated. They may not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots can force open subterranean pipes.

When the same day plumber arrives, they can identify the issues and fix them in a expeitious and professional manner.
