On Call Plumber FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

What should you do when you find a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If there is water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to turn off the power at the switchboard. Then, try to minimise any further leaking or flooding.

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

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We will be at your place as soon as we can to resolve the problem.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important items from the area, and mop up any water or place a bucket to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help, I do not know where the main water valve is!

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

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.

Blocked Drains Problems

When your pipes are overflowing, you want assistance fast. Our on call Old Guildford plumbers know how disheartening and damaging clogged pipes can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.

Blocked pipes can cause damage to your residence, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the clog yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need a professional there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll arrive at your abode rapidly to resolve the issue. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

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 issue that needs other equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are concluded.

I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?

We recommend trying to clear minor obstructions using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it does not clear the blockage, we do not suggest chemicals as they rarely do a good job, and may cause more damage to your drains.

Don’t let a clogged pipe send your day down the tubes. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Why did the pipe burst?

If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have iced up and burst. In a newer residence, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean seals might have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
