When a leak begins spouting, or a drain is blocked, or the hot water simply isn’t, the very last thing you want is to need to wait for a plumber to get there. In an urgent plumbing situation, often the longer you wait, the worse things get.

We’ve been serving Muirhead for years, and our highly trained plumbers know how, parts and equipment to fix all sorts of plumbing jobs quickly and effectively. We will clean up any mess we have made prior to going.

What should you do when you find a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the electricity at the power panel. Then, try to minimise any further leaking or flooding.
Many appliances and fixtures have taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water valve to cut off all water to the residence.
Once you have stopped the diaster from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there quickly to solve the issue.
While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant possessions close to the leak, and clean up any water or place a bucket to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
You might know the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is located on the property perimeter near the road, typically under a blue or black cover.
Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.
We know a blocked drain can be a major problem. Whether it is the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our team of after hours plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.
Blocked pipes can cause damage to your residence, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need someone 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 there is a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the issue to minimise further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as possible.
If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to clear a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely do a good job and can cause damage to the drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain send your day down the tubes. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We tend to take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Time to put grubby kids in the bath? Need a good soak to defrost after a freezing day? Got a few of dishes to finish off? It is difficult to have a proper wash up when the water is not hot.
When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you want it sorted fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it remedied fast so your life can get back to normal.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and can cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of the usual household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your pocket very quickly.
If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Muirhead after hours plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water working again promptly. 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 isn’t fixable, our professional plumbers can help pick the most suitable solution for your household requirements, budget and area. If the whole system is tired and deteriorating, our plumbers can arrange for improvements at a time that works for you as well.
Big and small, buried in the garden or within the floor, walls or roof, the various pipes in your residence are a concealed but significant part of your everyday life. They bring fresh water to your abode, and remove unclean water and sewage out.
Once there is a problem though, it’s the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you want it resolved without delay to prevent damage to your home, your belongings and even your well-being.
Our after hours plumbers are prepared to get to you quickly, so contact our team as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can cut back further leaks by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if required.
There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps can fail. If you reside in a extremely cold climate, they may have iced up and burst. They might simply be old and past their use-by. They may not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots can invade subterranean joins.
Our on call plumbers will identify and fix your burst pipes or leaks expeitiously and cleanly.
Do you live with a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply busted?
We have seen an assortment of faucet problems over the years, and we understand that even a small drip can sound like elephants tapdancing at 2am when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a inconsequential niggle, can suddenly become a serious plumbing emergency.
Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can send the bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot tap. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your house, call us now.
Whether you require an entire new faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional 24 hour plumbers will quickly identify the issue and fix it. Our plumbers even carry a modest choice of taps and faucets in their van to pick from, or can install a temporary one if needed.
From large to small, our Muirhead after hours plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we offer a wide range of urgent and general plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
Find a length of twine of some type, and knot it around the tap aerator so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the twine and flow off quietly.
