When a leak starts spouting, or a drain is blocked, or the hot water simply is not, the very last thing you want is to need to wait for a plumber to arrive. In an urgent plumbing scenario, frequently the longer you wait, the worse things get.
Plumbing problems are not pre-booked or convenient. There are a lot of ways that a plumbing emergency can cause havoc, and that’s why we strive to be there as quickly as possible, even when it is after hours or a public holiday.
Our Rapid Creek on call plumbers are waiting right now for you to ring. We’re ready to resolve your problems so that you can return to enjoying life again. Our 24 hour service means that you don’t need to wait, so just give us a phone for plumbing help, any day of the year.
Our highly trained plumbers have the knowledge, equipment and parts to fix plumbing problems of all types quickly and economically. We’ve been looking after customers in the Rapid Creek area for years, and our loyal customers keep coming back because they know we will do an efficient and tidy job.
We don’t just do on call plumbing though, we are also available for non-urgent plumbing jobs. Call or email our friendly dependable staff, and we’ll assist you with all your plumbing needs. We’re ready and waiting, regardless of what the problem is or how quickly it has to be solved.
What do you do when a plumbing emergency strikes? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't play well together safely, so if needed turn the power off at the breaker box.
Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff tap to cut off all the water to the home.
Once that’s sorted, give us a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We will be with you promptly to get things sorted.
While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start wiping up any water, position a container to catch any drips, and clear away significant items from the area. If the house water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
The primary shutoff valve is usually positioned on the property perimeter near the road, under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the mains off can save your residence from increasing leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your pipes are overflowing, you need assistance as soon as possible. Our on call Rapid Creek plumbers know how frustrating and damaging obstructed drains can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.
A obstructed drain is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to see, or smell!
Whether it’s the kitchen sink that will not clear, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our urgent Rapid Creek plumbers will efficiently locate the problem and fix it so that life can get back to normal.
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 solve the issue to minimise further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as possible.
If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to unblock a clog yourself. We recommend a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely work well and can damage your drains.
Don’t let a blocked pipe get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
Had a hard day at work and desperately require a refreshing shower? Time to put the kids in the bath? Have a sink-full of dishes to finish up? It is never convenient to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden discover that the water is barely warm.
When the hot water has let you down, give us a call. Our plumbers will be there quickly to figure out the issue and fix it. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can sort them out and get you back to normal life.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around thiry percent of the average household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your wallet very quickly.
When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Rapid Creek on call plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your existing hot water cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our reliable plumbers can help in finding the best soutions for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also worn out, we can organise an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.
Large or small, hidden under the ground or within the floor, wall or roof, the pipes in your home are a hidden but significant part of everyday life. They bring clean water to your abode, and transfer used water and sewage out.
Normally, we never even recall their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when it does, it is usually a major problem that must be resolved urgently before the building, your possessions or even your health are damaged or ruined.
As soon as you find a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our on call plumbers without delay. Our team are waiting to help Rapid Creek residents right away. Whilst waiting for us to arrive, it may be useful to turn off the water to the property.
Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a variety of reasons. They might simply be past their prime and worn out. Or they may have frozen in extremely wintery weather and split. Tree roots might have grown into underground pipes. Or there might be a problem with how the pipes were set up to begin with.
When they arrive, our 24 hour plumber will locate the issue and speedily repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of the pipework if required to check for other issues.
Do you live with a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply broken?
Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping tap can be a serious aggravation. Something that may go unnoticed in the hurly burly of every day life suddenly sounds like someone practicing the drums in the wee hours, destroying your shuteye.
It isn’t just aggravating drips though. Leaks may run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
Whether you simply want a washer, or a whole new tap, our after hours plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vehicles are fully equipped with parts and carry a modest choice of new taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we don’t have what you need, our plumber can install an interim faucet until we find the style you need.
From large to small, our Rapid Creek on call plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we provide a broad range of urgent and day to day plumbing services.
How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?
Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a dilapidated or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the type of tap, we can often replace dilapidated parts on the spot for a very modest price.
We have been looking after the Rapid Creek area for many years, and our reputation for top quality work at a reasonable price sees our clients calling us back again and again. Our goal is to help you with all your plumbing needs, regardless of what, where or when.
When you have a plumbing emergency, we are on standby to save the day. We will be there rapidly to do professional repairs quickly and efficiently, and leave the area tidy and clean before we go.
Over the years we’ve seen it all. You name it, we have been up to our elbows in it. And even if it’s the middle of the night, on a public holiday, or during Christmas morning, we’ll be there quickly, resolve the problem fast and clean up behind ourselves before we leave.
When you call our emergency line, you’ll speak directly to a plumber, not an answering service. We might even be able to help you deal with your issue over the phone. If not, our plumber will be there quickly in a fully equipped van to get you sorted as fast as possible.
