When a leak starts spouting, or a drain is blocked, or even the hot water simply is not, the last thing you want is to need to wait for a plumber to arrive. In an urgent plumbing situation, often the longer you wait, the worse things get.

What should you do when you discover a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to turn off the electricity at the power box. Then, attempt to reduce any more leaking or flooding.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating valve to stop all the water to your home.
Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. They will be there quickly to solve the issue.
While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant items from the area, and wipe up any water or place a bucket to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.
The primary shutoff valve is usually located on the boundary near the road, under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting this off can protect your property from further leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.
When your pipes are overflowing, you want assistance fast. Our on call Punchbowl plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging blocked drains can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.
Blocked pipes can cause damage to your residence, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a professional there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it’s a item blocking the toilet, 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.
With our well equipped vans, we have everything we require on hand to fix almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that needs other equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are completed.
If you have a plunger handy you can try to clear the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please don't use chemicals as they seldom get the job done properly and the chemicals can damage your drain pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!
We generally do not realise how frequently you depend on easy quick hot water until it is not available any longer. Just finished in the garden and really need a shower? Time to finish off a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the water and discover it’s barely warm.
When your hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you need it fixed promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it sorted asap so you can get back to normal life.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and can cause major damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about thiry percent of the average household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your pocket very rapidly.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Punchbowl on call plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water flowing again quickly. 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 the old hot water cylinder isn’t repairable, our helpful plumbers can assist in picking the best soutions for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also tired, our team can organise improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.
Big and small, hidden in the ground or within the floor, walls or roof, the various pipes in your house are a hidden but key part of your everyday activities. They bring fresh water to your house, and take used water and sewage away.
Ususally we never even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden we’re looking at a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be resolved immediately, to minimise damage to your residence, furnishings and health.
The moment a leak is discovered, give us a call, and our on call plumbers will be with you quickly. We are waiting to answer day or night. Before they get there, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to reduce yet more flooding.
Pipes can fail and start to leak for a variety of reasons. If you live in an older house, they may simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework may have frozen and split. In a newer house, there might be an issue with how they were installed. Subterranean connections could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Our same day plumbers can diagnose and fix the broken pipes or leaks promptly and efficiently.
Do you own a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether broken?
A lot of customers over the years have mentioned how frustrating it is to have a dripping or defective faucet. You may not even notice the drip during the daytime, but in the wee hours when it’s resounding throughout the house like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it is a serious problem.
It is not only annoying drips though. Leaks can drive up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking 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 just need a washer, or an entire replacement faucet, our 24 hour plumbers have got what you need. All the vans are well stocked with parts and have a modest selection of new taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we don’t have the tap you require, we can put in an interim faucet until we track down the style you want.
From on call plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too extensive or small for our Punchbowl plumbers. Not only can we repair your leaking taps, we can also offer a broad selection of other plumbing services.
Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?
If the drip is not bad enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to dampen the racket. Or tie a length of twine around the faucet aerator sufficient to touch the base of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
Our team has many years of combined experience looking after the people of Punchbowl. Our many happy repeat clients prove our reputation for expert, quality, economical work. We aim to assist you with all your emergency and non-urgent plumbing issues rapidly and professionally.
