I have a plumbing emergency, what do I do?
What do you do when a plumbing emergency hits? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off on the power panel.
If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t locate the main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the problem from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. They will be there promptly to solve the problem.
While waiting for our emergency plumber, remove any significant items, clean up any water, and place a container to catch drips. You should also turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
Help, I do not know where the main water shutoff valve is!
The water main shutoff valve is usually positioned on the property perimeter close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover. You may know it as the water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the water off can protect your property from more flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.
When your drains are overflowing, you want assistance quickly. Our urgent St James plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging blocked drains can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.
Blocked pipes can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need someone there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped to deal with 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 we can’t get the clog completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, we will find a temporary solution to get you through until we come back.
Can I unblock the drain myself?
We suggest attempting to clear minor obstructions using a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have one, or it does not clear the blockage, we don't suggest chemicals as they seldom do a good job, and can even cause more damage to the drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!
We often don’t realise how heavily you rely on effortless quick hot water until it isn’t available anymore. Just finished in the garden and really need a wash? Need to take care of a few dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s cold.
If the hot water isn’t hot enough, you want it to be hot again as soon as possible. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can quickly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause major damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of the usual household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your pocket very rapidly.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our St James urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get your hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the old hot water cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our friendly team can assist in picking the best options for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, we can arrange an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.
The pipes in your house are a generally concealed but key part of your daily activities. Large and little, subterranean, within the wall or the roof, they bring clean water to you and take the dirty stuff away.
Normally you don’t even think of them. Not until there’s a problem, and all of a sudden we are standing in a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it sorted out immediately, to minimise damage to your house, possessions and health.
Our urgent plumbers are set to get to you quickly, so call us as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can minimise further flooding by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if needed.
How did my pipe fail?
Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older home, they may simply be aged and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have iced up and burst. In a new home, there might be an issue with how they were installed. Subterranean seals might have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once our same day plumber arrives, they can identify the problems and fix them in a expeitious and professional manner.
Do you have a defective faucet? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing a fountain impression?
Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping faucet can be a significant aggravation. Something that might go unheard in the hubbub of every day life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer at 2am, disturbing your sleep.
Not only can it keep the everyone awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it is the hot water. Do not let the bills increase higher, or maybe even cause damage to your home, ring our same day plumber now.
Whether you just want a washer, or an entire new faucet, our 24 hour plumbers have got what you need. All our vehicles are well equipped with parts and have a small choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we do not have the faucet you want, our plumber can put in a temporary tap until we track down the style you want.
From large to small, our St James urgent plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we provide a wide selection of urgent and general plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
If the drip is not aggravating enough to be worth fixing right this moment, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to diminish the racket. Or tie a piece of string around the tap spout long enough to touch the bottom of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
