It’s the worst possible time and your bathroom tap has started leaking, or the hot water cylinder has stopped working, or the toilet is blocked. Leaks, broken tapsfaucets, hot water cylinders and clogged drains may all be a pain.

What should you do when you find a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If there is water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the power at the power box. Then, attempt to reduce any further leaking or flooding.
If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t locate the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and reduce 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 for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important things close to the leak, and mop up any water or put a container to catch any drips. If you turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.
You may have been shown the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is located on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.
Our South Launceston on call plumbers know that a clogged pipe can be a serious health hazard that needs fixing immediately. That’s why we offer our 24 hour plumbing service.
A blocked drain is a major problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it using a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to see, or smell!
Whether it is the bathroom sink that will not empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our after hours South Launceston plumbers will quickly identify the problem and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the problem to prevent further damage and return with what is needed as soon as possible.
If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove the clog yourself. We recommend using a plunger that has 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 damage your pipes.
Don’t let a blocked pipe send your day down the tubes. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We usually take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning properly. Need to put muddy kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to warm up following a long cold day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to deal with? It is hard to have a good wash when the water is cold.
When the hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you need it sorted fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or practically boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it hot again as soon as possible so you can get back to normal life.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause serious damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of your home’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your wallet very quickly.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our South Launceston 24 hour plumbers straight away. We will get the hot water working again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the existing hot water cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our professional team can assist in picking the best soutions for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, our plumbers can organise an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.
From the little fresh water pipes in your walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You never even remember them until there’s a problem.
Ususally we don’t even think about them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden you’re standing in a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it fixed asap, to prevent damage to your home, furnishings and well-being.
The moment a leak is discovered, give us a call, and our 24 hour plumbers will be with you rapidly. We are waiting to answer 24/7. Before they arrive, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to minimise further damage.
Pipes and taps can break down for a range of reasons. They may simply be old and deteriorated. Or they could have iced up in very wintery weather and split. Tree roots might have forced open subterranean pipes. Or there might be an issue with how the pipes were set up to begin with.
Once they arrive, our urgent plumber will locate the issue and speedily fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipes if required to check for other damage.
Do you own a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether busted?
We’ve seen all sorts of tap problems over the years, and know that even a little drip can sound like a woodpecker at 2am when you’re trying to sleep. What was a insignificant annoyance, can all of a sudden be a major plumbing emergency.
It is not only frustrating drips though. Leaks can run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the 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 causing a lot of expensive damage.
Whether you require an entire replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional after hours plumbers can efficiently diagnose the problem and resolve it. Our plumbers even carry a small selection of taps and faucets in their van to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.
From large to small, our South Launceston 24 hour plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we provide a broad range of urgent and day to day plumbing services.
How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?
Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or faulty washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of tap, we can frequently replace dilapidated parts immediately for a very reasonable outlay.
