When a leak starts spouting, or a drain is blocked, or even the hot water simply isn’t, the very last thing you want is to need to wait for a plumber to arrive. In an urgent plumbing scenario, often the longer you wait, the worse things get.
Plumbing problems are not 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.
Our Blackmans Bay emergency plumbers are waiting right now for you to ring. We are ready to resolve your problems so that you can go back to enjoying life again. Our 24 hour service means you don’t need to wait, so just give us a call for plumbing help, any day of the year.
Our highly trained technicians have the knowledge, equipment and parts to fix plumbing issues of all types quickly and efficiently. We have been looking after clients in the Blackmans Bay area for years, and our loyal clients keep coming back because they know we’ll do an efficient and clean job.
As well as emergency plumbing, we also do every-day plumbing. If you’ve got a non-urgent plumbing job, phone or email our office and we’ll make sure it gets sorted. Our friendly reliable team are ready and waiting to serve you.
What do you do when a plumbing calamity hits? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the power off at the power box.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to cut off all water to the home.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be at your home as soon as we can to resolve the problem.
While you wait for our emergency plumber, remove any significant items, wipe up any water, and put a bucket to catch drips. You also should switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
The primary shutoff valve is usually positioned on the property perimeter near the road, normally under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the water off can save your home from further leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.
When your drains are overflowing, you need help quickly. Our emergency Blackmans Bay plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging clogged drains can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.
Clogged pipes can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Regardless of whether it is a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.
With our well equipped vans, we have all we require on hand to fix almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying issue that needs other equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are completed.
If you have a plunger handy you can try to break up the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please don't use chemicals as they rarely do the job properly and the chemicals can ruin your drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
We generally do not think about how much you rely upon effortless fast hot water until it isn’t available anymore. Just finished up in the garden and really want a shower? Want to finish off some dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the water and find it’s barely warm.
When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it sorted promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or practically boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it sorted quickly so your life can get back to normal.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of your home’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your pocket very swiftly.
If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Blackmans Bay emergency plumbers right away. We’ll get the hot water working again promptly. If there is 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 need a new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking a suitable solution for your budget, requirements and location. If the whole hot water system needs upgrading, our plumbers can arrange to do that in a timely fashion as well.
Large or small, hidden underground or within the floor, wall or ceiling, the various pipes in your home are a concealed but important part of daily activities. They bring clean water to your home, and take unclean water and sewage out.
As soon as you find an issue though, it’s the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you want it resolved immediately to prevent damage to your residence, your possessions and even your health.
The moment a leak is found, give us a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way quickly. Our team are ready to answer day or night. Before they get there, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to prevent further leaking.
Pipes can break down and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you reside in an older house, they may simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have frozen and ruptured. In a new residence, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Underground joins may have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Our urgent plumbers will identify and repair your damaged pipes or leaks promptly and professionally.
Do you have a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether defective?
We have been called to an assortment of faucet problems over the years, and we understand that even a little drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums in the wee hours when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a trivial aggravation, can suddenly become a dire plumbing emergency.
It isn’t just frustrating drips though. Leaks can run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
Whether you just need a washer, or an entire new faucet, our 24 hour plumbers have the parts that you need. All our vehicles are fully equipped with parts and carry a modest choice of new taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we don’t have what you need, our plumber can install an interim tap until we track down the style you need.
As well as providing Blackmans Bay with emergency plumbing of all kinds, our team are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too large or small.
The drips are keeping me awake, how can I temporarily stop them to get some sleep?
If it is not bad enough to need repairing right now, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to minimise the noise. Alternatively knot a length of string around the tap spout long enough to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
Our company has been servicing the Blackmans Bay area for many years, and our reputation for top quality work at an economical price sees our past customers coming back to us whenever they have a plumbing issue. Our aim is to help you with all your plumbing needs, no matter what, where or when.
