What do you do when a plumbing emergency hits? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water don't play well together safely, so if needed turn the power off at the power panel.
If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest service valve or at the mains valve outside. If you cannot find the main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the problem from worsening, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to solve the problem.
In the meantime, start mopping up any water, place a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away valuable items from the affected area. If the mains water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
The main isolating valve will generally be on the edge of your property close to the road. It is typically set into the ground underneath a blue or black cover.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.
Our O'Connor after hours plumbers understand that a blocked drain can be a major health hazard that needs attending to immediately. That’s why we offer our on call plumbing service.
Blocked drains can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the clog yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need someone there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Regardless of whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.
In the rare instance that our plumbers can’t get the obstruction completely removed or more extensive repairs are needed, we will find an interim solution to keep you going until our plumbers come back.
We suggest attempting to clear simple clogs using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it doesn't clear the obstruction, we don't suggest chemicals as they rarely work well, and can cause more damage to your pipes.
Do not let obstructed drains ruin your day. Call our after hours O'Connor emergency plumbing team now!
