Help, I’ve got a plumbing emergency!
Safety first! Electricity and water do not mix well, so turn the power off at the breaker box if needed first.
Many appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water tap to cut off all water to the residence.
Once you have stopped the leak from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, at any time of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to solve the problem.
While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any significant things, wipe up any water, and place a container to catch drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
Help, I do not know where the main water shutoff valve is!
You may have been shown the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is generally positioned on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black cover.
It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
Our Blakehurst 24 hour plumbers realise that a clogged pipe can be a serious health risk that needs fixing immediately. That is why we provide our emergency plumbing service.
A obstructed pipe is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will be at your abode rapidly to resolve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.
In the rare case that our plumbers can not get the blockage completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, we will find an interim solution to tide you over until our plumbers return.
I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?
If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to clear the blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely work well and can cause damage to the drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
Had a hard day at work and desperately require a refreshing shower? Time to put the kids in the bath? Got some dishes to take care of? It is seldom handy to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden discover that the water is cold.
When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it fixed fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it repaired as soon as possible so your life can get back to normal.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause serious damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around thiry percent of the average home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your wallet very quickly.
If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Blakehurst emergency plumbers straight away. We will get the hot water working again promptly. If you find 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 you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can help pick a suitable solution for your budget, needs and area. If your entire hot water system requires upgrading, we can arrange to do that in a timely fashion as well.
From the small fresh water pipes in the floor, walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, the majority of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even remember them until there is an issue.

Our emergency plumbers are prepared to get to you right away, so call our team as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can minimise further leaks by turning the water off at the mains tap if needed.
Why did the pipe burst?
Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a range of reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they could have iced up in very wintery weather and cracked. Tree roots could have invaded subterranean seals. Or there might be an issue with how they were set up to begin with.
Our after hours plumbers can diagnose and fix the broken pipes or leaks quickly and precisely.
Do you have a broken faucet? A tap that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a fountain?
Many clients over the years have mentioned how annoying it can be to have a dripping or broken faucet. You might not even hear the drip during the day, but at 3am when it’s reverberating throughout the house like someone practicing the drums, suddenly it is a major problem.
As well as keeping the everyone awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s hot water. Don’t let the bills increase more, or maybe even cause damage to your home, call our same day plumber right away.
Whether you require an entire replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our specialist after hours plumbers will quickly find the issue and resolve it. We even carry a small selection of taps and faucets in their van for you to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.
From emergency plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too big or little for our Blakehurst plumbers. Not only can we fix the leaking taps, we also offer a wide range of other plumbing services.
The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I temporarily stop them to get some sleep?
