On Call Plumber FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing catastrophe occurrs?

Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so turn the electricity off at the breaker box if needed first.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main shutoff valve for your property. If you’re unable to find a water valve 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 that’s done, give our plumber a ring, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be there promptly to fix the leak.

While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any important things, clean up any water, and position a bucket to catch any drips. You should also turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

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

You might have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is generally positioned on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover.

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

Blocked Drains Fixed

We understand a blocked pipe can be a major problem. Whether it’s the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is never a happy circumstance. That’s why our team of on call plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the clog yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need someone there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether it is the ensuite sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our 24 hour Lurnea plumbers will quickly locate the issue and clear it so that life can get back to normal.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the complication to prevent further damage and return with what is required as soon as we can.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

If you have a plunger you can try to break up the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please don't use chemicals as they seldom do the job properly and the chemicals can ruin the drain pipes.

Do not let a clogged pipe send your day down the tubes. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Not Working

You regularly don’t think about how frequently you rely on effortless quick hot water until it isn’t available any longer. Just finished in the garden and really need a shower? Need to finish up a few dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and discover it’s lukewarm.

When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you want it working again fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it repaired as fast as possible so your life can get back to normal.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of the usual household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your pocket very swiftly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Lurnea on call plumbers as soon as you can. We will 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 your cylinder is not able to be fixed, our friendly plumbers can help pick the best option for your household requirements, budget and location. If the whole system is old and worn out, our plumbers can organise upgrades at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed In No Time

From the little clean water pipes in the floor, walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your home are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even think of them until there’s an issue.

Most of the time we barely even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly we are looking at a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it fixed without delay, to prevent damage to your residence, furnishings and health.

Our on call plumbers are prepared to be on the scene quickly, so contact our team as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if needed.

Why did my pipe fail?

There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps might break down. If you reside in a very cold climate, the pipes might have iced up and burst. They could simply be aged and past their use-by. The pipes might not have been installed properly to begin with. Tree roots may invade subterranean seals.

When they arrive, our 24 hour plumber will locate the issue and expeitiously repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of your pipework if advised to check for other issues.

Taps Not Working?

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

We’ve been called to an assortment of faucet issues over the years, and we understand that even a tiny drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums at night when you’re trying to sleep. What was a inconsequential niggle, can all of a sudden be a drastic plumbing emergency.

Not only can it keep the whole house awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t let the bills increase even more, or possibly cause damage to your home, ring our 24 hour plumber right away.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need in the vans to resolve that leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you need a replacement, or can install a temporary one if required.

From on call plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too large or little for our Lurnea plumbers. Not only can we repair the leaking taps, the team can also offer a wide range of other plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

Find a length of twine of some type, and knot it onto the tap spout so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the twine and flow off quietly.
