When a leak starts spouting, or a drain is blocked, or the hot water simply isn’t, the very last thing you want is to have to wait for a plumber to arrive. In an urgent plumbing situation, often the longer you wait, the worse things get.
A plumbing crisis can be a major inconvenience, and they have a propensity to happen at the worst possible moment. We all know how annoying it can be, and that’s why we aim to answer your phone and get there as quickly as we can, whatever the time or day.
No matter what the time is, phone us and our Emergency plumbers will respond right away. We will get there fast, and resolve your Applecross same day plumbing issues speedily and efficiently so your home can return to usual.
We have been serving Applecross for years, and our highly trained plumbers know how, parts and equipment to resolve all kinds of plumbing problems fast and efficiently. We will even tidy up any mess we’ve made before we go.
As well as same day plumbing, we also do every day plumbing. If you’ve got a non-urgent plumbing job, phone or email our office and we’ll make sure it gets sorted. Our friendly reliable team are ready and waiting to serve you.
What should you do when you find a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the power at the power panel. Then, attempt to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to cut off all the water to the house.
Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. They will be there quickly to solve the problem.
In the meantime, start wiping up any water, place a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away valuable items from the affected area. If the house water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
You may know it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is generally found on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps also.
We realise a obstructed drain can be a serious problem. Whether it is the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is never a good thing. That’s why our crew of same day plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.
Blocked drains can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can fix it yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive speedily to get the drains unblocked.
Whether it is the bathroom sink that will not empty, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our emergency Applecross plumbers will quickly locate the obstruction and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the problem to prevent further damage and return with what is required as soon as possible.
If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove the blockage yourself. We suggest using a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can cause damage to the drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!
Had a hard day at work and badly require a nice warm shower? Time to put the kids in the tub? Have a pile of dishes to finish off? It is rarely opportune to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly discover that the water is tepid.
When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you want it repaired promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it hot again 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 home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of your household’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your pocket very rapidly.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Applecross same day plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your existing hot water cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our professional plumbers can help in picking the best options for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, we can organise an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.
Large and small, buried in the earth or in the floor, wall or ceiling, the pipes in your house are a unseen but significant part of everyday activities. They bring fresh water to your home, and remove unclean water and sewage out.
Ususally we never even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly you are looking at a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be sorted out asap, to prevent damage to your home, belongings and well-being.
Our same day plumbers are set to be there quickly, so ring our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can cut back further flooding by turning the water off at the mains tap if required.
Pipes can fail and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you reside in an older residence, they may simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have iced up and cracked. In a new home, there might be a problem with how they were installed. Underground pipes might have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
When the 24 hour plumber is present, they can isolate the problems and repair them in a speedy and expert manner.
