What should you do when you find a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the electricity at the power box. Then, try to reduce any further leaking or flooding.
If there is still water leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main valve for your home. If you’re unable to locate the tap to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the home to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the problem from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a ring, any hour of the day or night. We will be there rapidly to solve the issue.
In the meantime, start cleaning up any water, put a container to catch drips, and clear away valuable things from the affected area. If the mains water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
The primary shutoff valve is located on the boundary close to the road, normally under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning this off can protect your house from more flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps also.
Our Hobart after hours plumbers understand that a clogged pipe can be a major health hazard that needs attending to right away. That’s why we offer our emergency plumbing service.
Blocked pipes can be a major health risk, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it on your own with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the pipes unclogged.
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Whether it’s a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.
With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we need on hand to fix almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying problem that requires extra equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are completed.
If you’ve got a plunger, it is worth trying to clear the blockage yourself. We suggest using a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely do a good job and can cause damage to your pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!
We usually take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Time to put grubby kids in the shower? Need a good soak to warm up after a long cold day? Got a pile of of dishes to finish up? It is hard to have a proper clean when the water is cold.
When the hot water has fallen short, give us a ring. Our plumbers will be there quickly to figure out the problem and get it resolved. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can repair them and get your life back to normal.
Did you know around thiry percent of your home power bill goes to hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a lot of damage to your residence and to items stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water woes harm your pocket, get them repaired as soon as possible.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Hobart emergency plumbers right away. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your cylinder is not fixable, our professional plumbers can help pick the most suitable option for your household requirements, budget and location. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and worn out, our plumbers can organise upgrades at a time that works for you as well.
From the little fresh water pipes in your walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your residence are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even think of them until there’s a problem.
Normally we do not even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden you’re looking at a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it sorted out as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your residence, belongings and health.
As soon as a leak is discovered, give us a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on the road quickly. Our team are waiting to answer any time. Before they arrive, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise yet more leaking.
Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a variety of reasons. The pipes might simply be old and worn out. Or they may have iced up in extremely cold weather and split. Tree roots may have forced open subterranean seals. Or there could be an issue with how they were set up in the first place.
Once they arrive, our urgent plumber will locate the problem and promptly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipework if advised to check for other damage.
Do you live with a problem faucet? A tap that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up busted?
A lot of our clientelle over the years have mentioned how aggravating it is to have a dripping or defective faucet. You may not even hear the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it is reverberating around the house like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it’s a serious issue.
Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking tap can send the bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot tap. Don’t waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your residence, call our team now.
From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need on hand to fix that leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you require a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if required.
From emergency plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too great or small for our Hobart plumbers. Not only can we fix your leaking taps, the team also provide a wide selection of other plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
If it’s not aggravating enough to need fixing right now, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the racket. Or knot some string around the tap spout sufficient to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
