When a leak begins spouting, or a drain is blocked, or the hot water simply is not, the very last thing you want is to have to wait for a plumber to arrive. In an urgent plumbing situation, often the longer you wait, the worse things get.
Plumbing problems are never pre-booked and convenient. There are so many ways that a plumbing emergency can cause havoc, and that’s why we strive to be there as quickly as possible, even when it is after hours or a public holiday.
No matter the time, phone us and our On Call plumbers will respond straight away. We’ll be there fast, and fix your Dowsing Point 24 hour plumbing problems efficiently and speedily so that your home can get back to normal.
We have been looking after Dowsing Point for years, and our highly trained plumbers know how, equipment and parts to resolve all sorts of plumbing issues quickly and effectively. We will clean up any mess we’ve made prior to leaving.
We do not just do 24 hour plumbing though, we are also available for non-urgent plumbing jobs. Call or email our friendly dependable staff, and we’ll assist you with all your plumbing needs. We are ready and waiting, regardless of what the problem is or how quickly it has to be solved.
What do you do when a plumbing emergency strikes? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if needed turn the power off at the power panel.
If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest location or at the mains tap outside. If you can’t find the main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the system and reduce the leak.
Once that’s sorted, give our plumber a call, no matter what the day or time is. We will be with you promptly to resolve the problem.
While you are waiting, clear away any significant items close to the leak, and wipe up any water or place a container to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
The main shutoff valve is normally on the border of your property close to the road. It is usually set into the ground below a blue or black cover.
Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.
When your drains are overflowing, you want help right now. Our 24 hour Dowsing Point plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging obstructed drains can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.
A blocked pipe is a major predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it by yourself with a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink will not drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will be at your home quickly to solve the issue. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.
With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we require available to fix almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that needs other equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are finished.
We recommend trying to clear minor blockages using a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have a plunger, or it does not clear the clog, we don't suggest chemicals as they rarely do a good job, and can even cause more damage to the drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!
We often don’t realise how heavily you depend upon easy fast hot water until it is not there any longer. Just finished in the garage and really need a shower? Need to finish off a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and discover it’s barely warm.
When the hot water has fallen short, give us a ring. Our team will be there quickly to diagnose the issue and fix it. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can repair them and get your life back to normal.
Hot water leaks can quickly push the power bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed as fast as possible, it will become more expensive by the day.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Dowsing Point 24 hour plumbers right away. 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 turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your existing hot water cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our professional plumbers can assist in identifying the best options for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also tired, we can arrange improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.
From the little clean water pipes in your floor, walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your home are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even remember them until there’s an issue.
Normally we do not even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and all of a sudden you’re standing in a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it sorted out immediately, to prevent damage to your home, possessions and health.
As soon as a leak is identified, give us a ring, and our 24 hour plumbers will be with you rapidly. We are ready to answer any time. Before they arrive, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to minimise further leaking.
There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps may fail. If you reside in a cold climate, the pipes may have frozen and ruptured. They may simply be aged and past their use-by. They may not have been adequately sealed in the first place. Tree roots may invade subterranean joins.
Our on call plumbers will diagnose and fix your burst pipes or leaks promptly and efficiently.
Do you have a problem tap? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just defective?
Many customers over the years have mentioned how frustrating it is to live with a dripping or broken faucet. You might not even be aware of the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it is resounding around the house like someone practicing the drums, suddenly it’s a serious issue.
Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking faucet can send the bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your residence, give us a ring.
Whether you want a whole replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional after hours plumbers can quickly find the problem and solve it. Our plumbers even carry a small selection of taps and faucets in their van to pick from, or can install a temporary one if needed.
As well as serving Dowsing Point with 24 hour plumbing of all kinds, we are available for general maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too great or too small.
The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I stop them temporarily to get some sleep?
If it is not bad enough to be worth fixing right now, you can put a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to minimise the sound. Alternatively knot a length of string around the faucet spout sufficient to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
We have been looking after the Dowsing Point locale for many years, and our reputation for high quality work at a reasonable price sees our clients coming back to us whenever they have a plumbing issue. Our objective is to help you with all your plumbing needs, regardless of what, where or when.
All our plumbers are licenced, certified, experienced, and will ensure that all plumbing work meets trade regulations. We want to ensure your home is an enjoyable healthy safe place to live, and will go the extra mile day or night to do so.
Over the years we have seen it all. You name it, we’ve been up to our elbows in it. And even if it is the wee small hours, on a public holiday, or during Christmas dinner, we will be there quickly, fix the problem efficiently and clean up behind ourselves before we leave.
When you call our emergency line, you will speak directly to a plumber, not an answering service. We may even be able to help you temporarily solve your issue over the phone. If not, our plumber will be there rapidly in our fully equipped van to get it sorted as fast as possible.
