It is the worst possible moment and your kitchen tap has started leaking, or the hot water heater has stopped working, or the drain is clogged. Leaks, broken tapsfaucets, hot water cylinders and clogged drains can all be a pain.
Plumbing problems are not pre-booked let alone convenient. There are a lot of ways that a plumbing emergency can ruin everything, and that’s why we strive to be there as quickly as we can, even if it is public holiday or after hours.
Our Old Beach on call plumbers are waiting for you to ring. We’re ready to solve your problems so you can return to enjoying life again. Our 24 hour service ensures you don’t have to wait, so just give us a call for plumbing assistance, any day of the year.
We have been servicing Old Beach for years, and our specially trained plumbers know how, equipment and parts to fix all kinds of plumbing issues fast and effectively. We will clean up any mess we’ve made prior to leaving.
We don’t just do on call plumbing though, we are also available for plumbing jobs that are plumbing. Phone or email our friendly dependable staff, and we’ll help you out with all your plumbing needs. We’re ready and waiting, regardless of what the problem is or how quickly it needs to be solved.
What should you do when you discover 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 box. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains shutoff valve to stop all the water to your house.
Once that is done, give our team a call, no matter what the day or time is. We will be there promptly to fix the leak.
While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start cleaning up any water, put a bucket to catch drips, and remove important things from the area. If the mains water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
You may have been shown the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is generally located on the property perimeter near the road, usually under a blue or black cover.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.
When your pipes are overflowing, you want help right now. Our on call Old Beach plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging obstructed drains can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.
Obestructed drains can be a serious health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can fix it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the drains cleared.
Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink will not drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll be at your home speedily to solve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the issue to minimise further damage and return with what is required as soon as possible.
If you've got a plunger, it's worth trying to clear a clog yourself. We suggest using a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely work well and can cause damage to your drains.
Don’t let a obstructed pipe get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We usually take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Need to put muddy kids in the shower? Want a good soak to defrost after a wintery day? Got a few of dishes to take care of? It’s a pain to have a proper clean when the water is not hot.
When your hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you want it working again fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or practically boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it remedied fast 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 property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of your household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your pocket very rapidly.
If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Old Beach on call plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water flowing again promptly. If you find 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 new hot water cylinder, our team can help pick a suitable option for your budget, requirements and location. If the whole hot water system requires improvements, our plumbers can organise to do that in a timely fashion as well.
The pipes in your house are a generally hidden but important part of your daily activities. Big or small, in the ground, in the wall or the roof, they bring fresh water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.
Once there is an issue though, it is the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you want it resolved as soon as possible to prevent damage to your residence, your possessions and even your health.
The moment a leak is identified, give us a ring, and our on call plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We’re ready to answer any time. Before they get there, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to prevent further damage.
There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps might burst. If you reside in a very cold region, they may have frozen and cracked. They might just be old and worn out. The pipes might not have been adequately sealed to begin with. Tree roots can grow into underground junctions.
When our urgent plumber is present, they will isolate the problems and repair them in a prompt and professional manner.
Do you own a broken faucet? A tap that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a fountain?
Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping tap can be a significant aggravation. A little thing that might go unnoticed in the brouhaha of daily life without warning sounds like elephants tap dancing in the wee hours, destroying your shuteye.
As well as keeping the everyone awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not let the bills rise even further, or maybe even cause damage to your house, contact our same day plumber right away.
Whether you simply want a washer, or an entire replacement faucet, our 24 hour plumbers have the parts that you need. All our vehicles are fully stocked with parts and have a modest choice of replacement taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we don’t have the tap you want, our plumber can install a temporary tap until we track down the style you desire.
From big to small, our Old Beach on call plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we provide a broad selection of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.
Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?
If it’s not annoying enough to warrant repairing right now, you can put a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to diminish the sound. Or knot a piece of twine around the faucet spout sufficient to touch the base of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
