Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Emergency Plumbers - FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing disaster strikes? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the electricity off at the breaker box.

If there is water still leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main valve for your property. If you are unable to locate the tap to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the house 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 rapidly to solve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important things, wipe up any water, and place a container to catch any drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

I don’t know where the main water tap is!

You might know the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is located on the boundary close to the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Issues

When your pipes are overflowing, you want assistance straight away. Our emergency West Launceston plumbers know how frustrating and damaging blocked pipes can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.

Clogged drains can cause damage to your abode, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the issue yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether it is the ensuite sink that won’t clear, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the yard, our urgent West Launceston plumbers will efficiently locate the problem and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vans, we have all we require available to fix almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying issue that requires extra equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are completed.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

We suggest trying to clear simple clogs using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it doesn't clear the clog, we don't recommend chemicals as they seldom work well, and may even cause more damage to your drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain send your day down the tubes. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Burst Pipes Sorted Promptly

The pipes in your home are a largely concealed but key part of your daily life. Big and little, under the ground, in the walls or the roof, they bring fresh water to you and take the unclean stuff away.

Often, people never even recall their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is usually a major problem that must be resolved immediately before your house, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

When you identify a leak or burst pipe, phone our emergency plumbers immediately. We are waiting to help West Launceston residents right now. While you are waiting for us to arrive, it could help to turn off the water to the home.

Why did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you live in an older house, they may simply be old and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have frozen and ruptured. In a newer house, there could be an issue with how they were installed. Subterranean joins may have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once our urgent plumber arrives, they can locate the issues and repair them in a rapid and professional manner.
