I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?
What should you do when you find a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the electricity at the power panel. Then, try to minimise any further leaking or flooding.
If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest service valve and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot locate the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the system and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any hour of the day or night. We will be there rapidly to resolve the problem.
While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important items, mop up any water, and put a bucket to catch any drips. You also should turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
Help, I do not know where the main water shutoff valve is!
The primary shutoff valve is generally positioned on the property perimeter near the road, under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning this off can save your home from further flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.
We know a blocked pipe can be a serious problem. Whether it is the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged pipe is never a happy circumstance. That is why our team of urgent plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.
Blocked drains can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unblock it yourself with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the drains unblocked.
Whether it’s the laundry sink that will not drain, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the yard, our 24 hour Watsons Bay plumbers will quickly identify the obstruction and repair it so that life can get back to normal.
In the rare instance that our plumbers can not get the obstruction completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are required, we will find a temporary solution to keep you going until our plumbers return.
Can I unclog the drain myself?
We endorse trying to clear simple blockages with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it does not clear the obstruction, we don't recommend chemicals as they rarely do a good job, and may even cause more damage to the drains.
Don’t let clogged pipes ruin your day. Ring our emergency Watsons Bay emergency plumbing team right away!
Had a hard day at work and badly want a toasty warm shower? Time to put the kids in the bath? Got a pile of dishes to deal with? It is never handy to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden realise that the water is lukewarm.
If the hot water isn’t up to standard, you want it hot again fast. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can rapidly identify the problem and get it resolved.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause major damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of the average home’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your wallet very swiftly.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Watsons Bay urgent plumbers right away. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can help pick a suitable solution for your budget, requirements and area. If your whole hot water system requires improvements, we can schedule to do that in a timely manner as well.
The pipes in your house are a largely hidden but vital part of everyday life. Big and little, in the earth, within the walls or the ceiling or under the floor, they carry fresh water to your home and take the unclean stuff away.
Ususally you never even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden you are standing in a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be resolved as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your home, furnishings and health.
As soon as you locate a leak or burst pipe, phone our urgent plumbers immediately. Our team are waiting to assist Watsons Bay residents right away. While you are waiting for our plumber to get there, it could be useful to turn off the water to the property.
How did the pipe burst?
There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps might break down. If you reside in a extremely cold climate, they may have iced up and split. They could simply be old and past their use-by. They may not have been adequately sealed in the first place. Tree roots may force open subterranean pipes.
Once our after hours plumber arrives, they will identify the problems and fix them in a quick and expert manner.
Do you live with a problem faucet? A tap that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up busted?
We have seen an assortment of tap problems over the years, and know that even a minor drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums at night when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a trivial irritant, can all of a sudden be a dire plumbing emergency.
It isn’t just vexing drips though. Leaks can run up your 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 completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need in the vans to stop your leak. The team carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you require a new one, or can install a temporary one if needed.
As well as serving Watsons Bay with urgent plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too large or little.
How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some sleep?
Find a piece of string of some type, and knot it onto the tap aerator so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and dribble off quietly.
