Emergency Plumber FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing calamity occurrs?

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

If there is water still leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main water shutoff valve for your home. If you are unable to find a water valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the house to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once that’s done, give us a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you shortly to get things sorted.

While you wait, start mopping up any water, place a bucket to catch drips, and remove significant possessions from the area. If the property water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

The main shutoff valve is usually located on the property perimeter close to the road, under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the water off can protect your property from more leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet bowl.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

We suggest trying to clear simple blockages using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it doesn't clear the obstruction, we do not recommend chemicals as they seldom work well, and can cause more damage to your drains.

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