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 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 service valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main water shutoff valve for your home. If you are unable to locate the water valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the diaster from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to solve the issue.

While waiting, clear away any important possessions from the area, and wipe up any water or place a container to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.

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 bowl.

Blocked Drains Fixed

Our Birkenhead urgent plumbers know that a obstructed drain can be a major health hazard that needs fixing as soon as possible. That is why we have our emergency plumbing service.

Obestructed drains can be a major health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it on your own with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the pipes unblocked.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink will not empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we’ll be at your home quickly to resolve the problem. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we require available to fix almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying problem that needs extra equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are concluded.

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 blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Leaks

We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it is not working correctly. Time to put grubby kids in the bath? Want a good soak to defrost after a chilly day? Got a few of dishes to take care of? It is awkward to have a proper clean up when the water is lukewarm.

If the hot water is not hot enough, you want it to be repaired as fast as possible. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can quickly diagnose the problem and get it fixed.

Leaks in your 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 often accounts for around thiry percent of the average home’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your wallet very swiftly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Birkenhead emergency plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water working again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our reliable team can assist in picking the best option for your household requirements, budget and area. If the whole system is past it’s use by date and worn out, we can arrange for upgrades at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Promptly

From the little fresh water pipes in the walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We never even remember them until there’s a problem.

Normally, people never even remember them unless something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s generally a major issue that needs to be fixed urgently before the building, your belongings or even your health are damaged or ruined.

Our emergency plumbers are ready to be there right away, so call us as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can cut back further flooding by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if required.

Why did the pipe start leaking?

Pipes can fail and start to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older house, they might simply be old and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework might have iced up and burst. In a newer home, there may be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean junctions may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once the urgent plumber is present, they will identify the issues and fix them in a prompt and professional manner.

All Taps Handled

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether defective?

Many customers over the years have mentioned how aggravating it is to have a dripping or broken tap. You might not even notice the drip during the daytime, but at night when it’s echoing around your home like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it’s a serious problem.

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate your bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot tap. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your house, give us a ring.

Whether you need a whole replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our specialist urgent plumbers will speedily identify the problem and remedy it. We even carry a small choice of taps and faucets on hand for you to select from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

As well as providing Birkenhead with emergency plumbing of all kinds, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too big or too small.

The drips are keeping me awake, how can I stop them temporarily to get some sleep?

If the drip is not aggravating enough to need repairing right now, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to dampen the sound. Or tie a piece of twine around the faucet spout long enough to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
