Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ Emergency Plumbers

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure 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 at the power panel.

If there is water still leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main shutoff valve for your property. If you are unable to locate a tap to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the residence to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to solve the problem.

In the meantime, start wiping up any water, put a bucket to catch drips, and remove significant things from the affected area. If the property water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!

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

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.

Blocked Drains Hassles

We realise a blocked drain can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked pipe is seldom a good thing. That is why our team of emergency plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.

A clogged pipe is a serious predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it by yourself with a plunger. However if you can not, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to see, or smell!

Whether it’s the bathroom sink that won’t empty, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our after hours Otara plumbers will quickly locate the problem and repair it so that life can get back to normal.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the issue to minimise further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as we can.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can damage your drains.

Don’t let a obstructed drain get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Leaks

We usually take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to warm up following a freezing day? Got a few of dishes to take care of? It is a pain to have a proper wash when the water is cold.

When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it working again 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 always overflowing, you need it fixed as fast as possible so you can get back to normal life.

Hot water leaks can quickly push the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks undetected in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed as fast as possible, the cost can become more costly by the hour.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Otara emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your existing hot water cylinder isn’t repairable, our reliable team can assist in identifying the best soutions for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, our plumbers can schedule improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Solved Quick

Large or little, buried subterranean or in the floor, wall or ceiling, the pipes in your home are a hidden but indispensible part of your everyday activities. They bring clean water to your house, and remove dirty water and sewage out.

As soon as you find a problem though, it’s the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you need it fixed asap to prevent damage to your house, your possessions and even your well-being.

Our emergency plumbers are set to be on the scene right away, so call our plumbers as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further flooding by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if required.

Why did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you live in an older residence, they might simply be old and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, they may have iced up and cracked. In a new residence, there might be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean seals may have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When they are at your home, our after hours plumber will diagnose the problem and promptly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipework if required to look for other problems.

All Tapware Covered

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you own a troublesome tap? A tap that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?

We have seen all sorts of tap problems over the years, and know that even a little drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums in the small hours when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a insignificant annoyance, can all of a sudden be a serious plumbing emergency.

It is not just aggravating drips though. Leaks may push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you just need a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our after hours plumbers have got what you need. All our vehicles are well stocked with parts and carry a small choice of new taps and faucets for you to select from if required. If we do not have what you require, we can install an interim tap until we locate the style you want.

As well as providing Otara with emergency plumbing of all types, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too great or too small.

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

If the drip is not bad enough to be worth fixing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to minimise the racket. Or tie a piece of twine around the faucet aerator sufficient to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
