What do you do when a plumbing emergency hits? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if needed turn the electricity off at the switchboard.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff valve to cut off all water to the property.
Once you have stopped the leak from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. They will be there rapidly to resolve the issue.
While you wait, begin wiping up any water, put a container to catch drips, and remove significant possessions from the area. If the house water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
The main shutoff valve will generally be on the edge of the property close to the road. It is usually set into the ground underneath a blue or black cover.
It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your pipes are overflowing, you need help right now. Our on call Winthrop plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging blocked pipes can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.
A blocked drain is a major predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it by yourself with a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to see, or smell!
Whether it’s the laundry sink that won’t clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the yard, our emergency Winthrop plumbers will efficiently locate the obstruction and clear it so that life can get back to normal.
In the rare case that we can’t get the clog completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find a temporary solution to tide you over until our plumbers come back.
We suggest attempting to clear simple blockages with a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have one, or it doesn't clear the obstruction, we don't suggest chemicals as they rarely get the job done well, and may cause more damage to the pipes.
Do not let clogged drains ruin your day. Ring our urgent Winthrop emergency plumbers now!
We usually take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Time to put mucky kids in the shower? Need a good soak to warm up following a chilly day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to take care of? It is difficult to have a proper wash up when the water is not hot.
When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it remedied promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or practically boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it fixed fast so you can get back to normal life.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and can cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around thiry percent of your home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your pocket very quickly.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Winthrop on call plumbers straight away. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. 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 the old hot water cylinder is not fixable, our friendly team can assist in picking the best options for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, our plumbers can organise an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.
The pipes in your house are a normally unseen but significant part of daily activities. Big or little, in the garden, in the wall or the ceiling or under the floor, they bring clean water to you and take the dirty stuff away.
As soon as you find an issue though, it’s the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you want it resolved immediately to prevent damage to your home, your belongings and even your health.
Our on call plumbers are ready to get to you quickly, so call us as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further damage by turning the water off at the mains tap if required.
There are many reasons why pipes and taps can fail. If you live in a extremely cold climate, they might have frozen and ruptured. They might simply be aged and dilapidated. The pipes may not have been installed properly in the first place. Tree roots can force open subterranean pipes.
Once the same day plumber arrives, they can identify the issues and fix them in a rapid and professional manner.
Do you have a irksome faucet? A tap that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain defective?
Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping tap can be a significant vexation. Something that might go unnoticed in the hubbub of every day life suddenly sounds like someone practicing the drums at 2am, destroying your sleep.
It’s not only irritating drips though. Leaks can push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need in the vans to resolve your leak. The team carry a small selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you require a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if needed.
As well as providing Winthrop with on call plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too great or minor.
Why is my faucet dripping?
If the drip is not aggravating enough to be worth fixing right now, you can place a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to diminish the noise. Alternatively knot a piece of twine around the faucet aerator long enough to touch the base of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
