What should you do when you locate a plumbing calamity? Safety first! If there is water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the electricity at the breaker box. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest access point or at the mains valve outside. If you cannot find the water main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.
Once that is done, give us a call, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be with you shortly to fix the leak.
While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin cleaning up any water, place a container to catch any drips, and clear away valuable things from the area. If the property water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
The primary shutoff valve is located on the property perimeter near the road, under a blue or black cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the mains off can save your home from further flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.
Our Rivett on call plumbers realise that a blocked drain can be a major health hazard that needs attending to right away. That’s why we have our 24 hour plumbing service.
Blocked drains can be a serious health risk, especially when sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unclog it yourself with a plunger and a little know-how. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive speedily to get the pipes unblocked.
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Regardless of whether there is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get things flowing again.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the issue to minimise further damage and get back with what is required as soon as we can.
If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to remove the blockage yourself. We recommend using 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 do a good job and can damage your drains.
Don’t let a clogged drain get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
It’s been a hard day at work and desperately require a hot shower? Time to put the kids into the tub? Got a pile of dishes to finish up? It is never handy to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden discover that the water is lukewarm.

Hot water leaks can rapidly push the power bill through the roof. Leaks hiding in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired quickly, it can become more costly by the day.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Rivett 24 hour plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. 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.

The pipes in your home are a normally unseen but significant part of daily activities. Large or small, in the earth, within the walls or the ceiling, they bring fresh water to you and take the dirty stuff away.
Often, we barely even think about them unless something goes wrong. But when it does, it is usually a significant problem that must be resolved immediately before the building, your belongings or even your health are damaged or ruined.
When you discover a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our 24 hour plumbers immediately. We are waiting to help Rivett residents right now. Whilst waiting for us to arrive, it may be useful to turn off the water to the property.
There are a variety reasons why pipes and taps might fail. If you live in a very cold climate, they might have frozen and ruptured. They might simply be old and past their use-by. The pipes might not have been adequately sealed in the first place. Tree roots may invade underground junctions.
Our emergency plumbers will identify and repair the burst pipes or leaks promptly and precisely.
Do you have a troublesome tap? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a geyser impression?
A lot of our clientelle over the years have told us how vexing it is to live with a dripping or busted faucet. You may not even notice the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it is reverberating around the house like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it is a sigificant problem.
It is not just aggravating drips though. Leaks can drive up the 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 small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
Whether you require an entire replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our expert emergency plumbers will rapidly find the trouble and remedy it. Our plumbers even carry a modest choice of taps and faucets on hand for you to pick from, or can install a temporary one if needed.
As well as providing Rivett with 24 hour plumbing of all kinds, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too big or minor.
How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?
If it is not annoying enough to be worth fixing right this moment, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to diminish the racket. Alternatively tie a length of string around the tap spout sufficient to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
