It is the worst possible moment when your kitchen tap has spouted a leak, or your hot water cylinder has given up the ghost, or the sink is clogged. Leaks, broken tapsfaucets, hot water cylinders and blocked drains can all be a real pain.
Plumbing disasters are not pre-booked let alone convenient. There are a lot of ways that a plumbing emergency can cause havoc, which is why we strive to be there as fast as possible, even when it is after hours or a public holiday.
No matter the time or day, our certified and professional Glenfield on call plumbers will fix your problems so you can get back to enjoying life . Call our 24-hour staff immediately to get assistance with your After Hours plumbing needs, 365 days of the year.
We have been serving Glenfield for years, and our specially trained plumbers have the knowledge, equipment and parts to resolve all sorts of plumbing issues fast and effectively. We will even clean up any mess we have made prior to leaving.
As well as on call plumbing, we also do every day plumbing. If you’ve got a non-urgent plumbing job, call or email our office and we’ll make sure it gets sorted. Our friendly reliable team are ready and waiting to assist you.
What should you do when you locate a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If you find water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to turn off the electricity at the switchboard. Then, attempt to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest service valve and then at the mains tap outside. If you can’t locate the water main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once that’s done, give us a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be there shortly to resolve the problem.
While waiting, clear away any important possessions from the area, and wipe up any water or position a container to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.
You might know the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is generally found on the boundary close to the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet bowl.
We understand a blocked drain can be a serious problem. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked pipe is never a happy circumstance. That’s why our team of on call plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.
Blocked pipes can cause damage to your abode, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the clog yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need a plumber there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Whether it is a item blocking the toilet, or 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.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally 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 we can.
If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to unblock a blockage yourself. We recommend using a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom do a good job and can cause damage to your pipes.
Don’t let obstructed drains ruin your day. Call our 24 hour Glenfield emergency plumbers right away!
We tend to don’t realise how much we count on easy quick hot water until it isn’t available any longer. Just finished in the garden and really need a wash? Need to finish up a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and find it’s tepid.
When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you want it fixed promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or practically boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it repaired as fast as possible so you can get back to normal life.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause major damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of the usual home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your wallet very swiftly.
When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Glenfield on call plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water working again quickly. If you find 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 the best option for your budget, requirements and location. If the entire hot water system requires improvements, our plumbers can arrange to do those repairs in a opportune fashion as well.
From the little clean water pipes in the floor, walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the ground, the majority of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even remember them until there is an issue.
As soon as you find a problem though, it’s the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you need it resolved asap to prevent damage to your home, your belongings and even your well-being.
As soon as a leak is discovered, give us a call, and our on call plumbers will be on their way rapidly. Our team are ready to answer any time. Before they get there, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise further damage.
Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older house, they may simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, they might have iced up and burst. In a newer residence, there could be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground junctions may have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once the after hours plumber arrives, they can locate the issues and fix them in a prompt and professional manner.
Do you own a problem tap? A tap that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a geyser?
We have seen a range of tap problems over the years, and know that even a tiny drip can sound like elephants tapdancing at night when you’re trying to sleep. What was a minor annoyance, can suddenly become a serious plumbing emergency.
It’s not only frustrating drips though. Leaks can push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need in the vans to resolve that leak. We carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you require a replacement, or can install a temporary one if needed.
As well as providing Glenfield with on call plumbing of all kinds, we are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too extensive or too small.
Why is my faucet dripping?
Find a length of string of some type, and tie it around the tap spout so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the twine and flow off quietly.
