FAQ - On Call Plumber

Help, I have a plumbing emergency!

What do you do when a plumbing emergency strikes? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off on the power box.

If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest isolating valve and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot locate the water main isolation valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. They will be there quickly to solve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any significant items, mop up any water, and put a container to catch any drips. You also should switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

You may have been shown the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is located on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover.

It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked pipes can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need a professional there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

If you have a plunger handy you can attempt to clear the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please don't use chemicals as they rarely get the job done properly and the chemicals can damage the drain pipes.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Hot Water Problems

We normally take having hot water for granted, until it is not working properly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to defrost after a freezing day? Have a pile of of dishes to finish off? It’s hard to have a good clean when the water is not hot.

When your hot water has let you down, give us a call. Our plumbers will be there quickly to diagnose the issue and resolve it. From heating elements to defective thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can sort them out and get your life back to normal.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of the average household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your pocket very swiftly.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Oatley on call plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. 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 cylinder is not repairable, our reliable plumbers can help pick the most suitable option for your household requirements, budget and area. If the whole system is tired and deteriorating, our plumbers can schedule repairs at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

From the little clean water pipes in the floor, walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your residence are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We never even think of them until there’s an issue.

Often, you never even think about their existence unless something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is usually a serious problem that must be resolved immediately before your home, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

The moment a leak is discovered, give our team a ring, and our on call plumbers will be on the road quickly. Our team are ready to take your call night or day. Before they get there, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce further flooding.

Why did my pipe burst?

There are many reasons why pipes and taps might break down. If you reside in a extremely cold location, the pipes may have iced up and cracked. They might simply be aged and worn out. They may not have been properly installed to begin with. Tree roots can grow into subterranean seals.

Once they are at your home, our same day plumber will locate the problem and speedily fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipework if needed to look for other issues.

Tap Problems Solved

Do you own a problem faucet? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a fountain?

We have seen a range of tap issues over the years, and know that even a small drip can sound like elephants tapdancing in the small hours when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a trivial irritant, can suddenly become a serious plumbing emergency.

It is not only aggravating drips though. Leaks may push up the 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 negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you just want a washer, or an entire new faucet, our 24 hour plumbers have got what you need. All our vans are well stocked with parts and carry a small selection of new taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we do not have the faucet you want, our plumber can install an interim tap until we find the style you desire.

From big to small, our Oatley on call plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we offer a broad selection of urgent and day to day plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me awake, how can I temporarily stop them to get some peace and quiet?

If it is not aggravating enough to be worth fixing right now, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to diminish the noise. Or tie a piece of twine around the faucet aerator long enough to rest on the base of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
