Our company have been serving the West Launceston region for numerous years. All of our same day plumbers are certified, highly trained, and ready to solve whatever sort of emergency you can throw them. We make sure to clean up any mess before we go.
As well as urgent plumbing, we also do every-day plumbing. If you’ve got a non-urgent plumbing job, call or email our office and we’ll make sure it gets sorted. Our friendly reliable team are ready and waiting to serve you.
Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so switch the electricity off at the switchboard if needed first.
If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest isolating valve or at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.
Once that is sorted, give our plumber a call, no matter what the day or time is. We will be with you promptly to resolve the problem.
While you wait for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant things, clean up any water, and place a bucket to catch any drips. You should also turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
The main shutoff valve is located on the boundary close to the road, normally under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the water off can save your property from increasing leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.
Our West Launceston 24 hour plumbers realise that a clogged pipe can be a serious health hazard that needs attending to immediately. That is why we provide our urgent plumbing service.
Blocked drains can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the block yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, 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 is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.
In the rare case that we can’t get the blockage completely cleared or more extensive repairs are needed, our team will find an interim solution to get you through until our plumbers come back.
We suggest trying to clear minor obstructions using a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have one, or it does not clear the blockage, we don't recommend chemicals as they seldom work well, and may even cause more damage to the drains.
Do not let a obstructed pipe get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We generally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Time to put muddy kids in the shower? Need a good soak to defrost after a long cold day? Got some of dishes to finish off? It’s difficult to have a good clean when the water is lukewarm.
When the hot water is not up to standard, you want it to be remedied as fast as possible. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can quickly identify the issue and get it resolved.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and can cause major damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of the average home’s power bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your wallet very rapidly.
When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our West Launceston urgent plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your existing hot water cylinder is not fixable, our reliable team can assist in finding the best options for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also tired, our plumbers can arrange an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.
From the little clean water pipes in the walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your residence are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even remember them until there’s an issue.
As soon as you find a problem though, it is the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you want it resolved asap to prevent damage to your residence, your furnishings and even your well-being.
When you find a leak or burst pipe, phone our urgent plumbers as soon as possible. We are waiting to assist West Launceston residents right now. Whilst waiting for us to get there, it could help to turn off the water to the house.
Pipes and taps can break down for many reasons. They may simply be old and worn out. Or they may have iced up in extremely wintery weather and burst. Tree roots might have grown into subterranean connections. Or there may be an issue with how the pipes were set up in the first place.
Once they arrive, our 24 hour plumber will identify the issue and promptly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipes if required to look for other damage.
Do you have a busted faucet? A tap that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?
A lot of clients over the years have mentioned how aggravating it can be to have a dripping or defective faucet. You might not even notice the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it’s echoing around the house like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it’s a major problem.
It’s not only frustrating drips though. Leaks can push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
Whether you want a whole replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our expert same day plumbers will quickly identify the cause and resolve it. Our plumbers even carry a small selection of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can install a temporary one if needed.
As well as serving West Launceston with urgent plumbing of all kinds, we are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too extensive or little.
Why is my tap dripping?
If the drip is not bad enough to need repairing right now, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to dampen the racket. Alternatively tie a piece of string around the tap aerator sufficient to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
