Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

FAQ: After Hours Plumber

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off at the power panel.

Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water tap to stop all water to the residence.

Once that’s sorted, give our team a ring, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be there rapidly to get things sorted.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any important things close to the leak, and clean up any water or place a container to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!

You may have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is normally located on the boundary near the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.

Blocked Drains Problems

We realise a clogged pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it is the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is seldom a good thing. That’s why our team of after hours plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.

A obstructed pipe is a serious problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to see, or smell!

Whether it is the ensuite sink that will not empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the garden, our 24 hour Cockatoo plumbers will efficiently locate the obstruction and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vans, we have all we need on hand to fix almost all drain blockages 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 concluded.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can damage your drains.

Do not let a obstructed drain ruin your day. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Not Working

We generally take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Time to put muddy kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to warm up following a chilly day? Got a sink-full of of dishes to finish off? It is a pain to have a proper clean when the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water has fallen short, give our team a ring. We’ll be there swiftly to identify the problem and get it fixed. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can sort them out and get your life back to normal.

Did you know about 30% of your home power bill is used for hot water heating? A leak may suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a lot of damage to your home and to things stored nearby. Don’t let hot water woes harm your wallet, get them fixed asap.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Cockatoo after hours plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking a suitable option for your budget, needs and area. If your entire hot water system requires improvements, our plumbers can organise to do that in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Promptly

From the small clean water pipes in the floor, walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, the majority of the pipes in your home are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even think of them until there’s a problem.

Normally, you barely even remember them unless something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s generally a significant issue that needs to be resolved urgently before your house, your possessions or even your health are damaged or ruined.

As soon as a leak is discovered, give us a ring, and our after hours plumbers will be on the road quickly. We’re ready to take your call any time. Before they arrive, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to reduce further leaking.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can fail for a range of reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they may have frozen in very wintery weather and ruptured. Tree roots might have invaded subterranean joints. Or there could be an issue with how they were installed in the first place.

When they arrive, our 24 hour plumber will diagnose the issue and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipework if advised to look for other damage.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tapware Problems Resolved

Do you own a troublesome faucet? One that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright defective?

Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping faucet can be a major annoyance. A little thing that might go unnoticed in the brouhaha of every day life suddenly sounds like elephants tap dancing in the middle of the night, disturbing your shuteye.

Not only is the sound frustrating, but a dripping or leaking tap can escalate your bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot water. Do not waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your home, call our team now.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need on hand to remedy your leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you need a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From big to small, our Cockatoo after hours plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we provide a wide range of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.

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

Normally, a dripping faucet is caused by a dilapidated or faulty washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of tap, we can usually replace dilapidated parts on the spot for a very modest outlay.
