It is the worst moment when your kitchen tap has started leaking, or the hot water heater has stopped working, or the drain is clogged. Leaks, broken tapsfaucets, hot water cylinders and clogged drains may all make your life a misery.
Plumbing problems are not pre-booked and convenient. There are so many ways that a plumbing emergency can ruin everything, which is why we strive to be there as quickly as possible, even if it’s after hours or a public holiday.
Our Capital Hill on call plumbers are waiting for you to ring. We’re prepared to solve your problems so you can go back to enjoying life again. Our 24 hour service means you don’t have to wait, so just give us a phone for plumbing assistance, any day of the year.
Our firm has been serving the Capital Hill area for a number of years. All of our emergency plumbers are highly trained, certified, and are ready to resolve whatever emergency you can throw their way. We make sure to clean up any mess before we leave.
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 requirements. We are ready and waiting, no matter what the problem is or how fast it has to be solved.
What do you do when a plumbing calamity strikes? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if needed turn the power off at the power panel.
If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest service valve or at the mains valve outside. If you can’t find the main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We will be at your place as soon as we can to save the day.
In the meantime, start mopping up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away important items from the area. If the mains water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
The primary shutoff valve is usually positioned on the property perimeter near the road, normally under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the mains off can protect your house from further flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet bowl.
Our Capital Hill same day plumbers understand that a clogged drain can be a major health risk that needs attending to immediately. That’s why we provide our on call plumbing service.
A obstructed drain is a serious problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger. However if you can not, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to see, or smell!
Whether it’s the laundry sink that will not drain, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our after hours Capital Hill plumbers will quickly identify the obstruction and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.
In the rare case that our plumbers can’t get the clog completely cleared or more extensive repairs are needed, we will find a temporary solution to tide you over until we come back.
If you have a plunger handy you can attempt to break up the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please don't use chemicals as they seldom get the job done properly and the chemicals can ruin the pipes.
Don’t let a obstructed pipe ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
It’s been a hard day at work and badly need a nice warm shower? Time to put the kids in the tub? Got some dishes to take care of? It is seldom convenient to turn on the hot tap and suddenly discover that the water is tepid.
If the hot water isn’t up to standard, you need it working again as soon as possible. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen it all and can quickly identify the problem and get it resolved.
Did you know around 30% of your home power bill powers the hot water heating? A leak can suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a considerable amount of damage to your residence and to things stored nearby. Do not let hot water woes harm your pocket, get them resolved as fast as possible.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Capital Hill on call plumbers as soon as you can. We will get the hot water working again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your cylinder is not repairable, our helpful plumbers can help pick the most suitable option for your household requirements, budget and location. If the whole system is aged and worn out, we can arrange for upgrades at a time that suits you as well.
From the small clean water pipes in your walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your residence are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. You never even remember them until there is a problem.
Once there is an issue though, it’s the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you need it resolved asap to prevent damage to your house, your belongings and even your health.
When you identify a leak or burst pipe, phone our on call plumbers asap. We are waiting to assist Capital Hill residents right away. While you are waiting for us to get there, it may help to turn off the water to the home.
Pipes and taps can break down for many reasons. They might simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they may have frozen in very cold weather and cracked. Tree roots might have forced open underground connections. Or there may be a problem with how they were set up to begin with.
Our emergency plumbers will identify and repair the damaged pipes or leaks rapidly and precisely.
Do you own a problem tap? One that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just defective?
A lot of customers over the years have told us how annoying it is to have a dripping or defective faucet. You might not even notice the drip during the daytime, but in the small hours when it’s echoing throughout the house like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it is a major issue.
It is not only irritating drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need in the vans to halt that leak. We carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you require a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if needed.
From on call plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too big or little for our Capital Hill plumbers. Not only can we sort out leaking taps, the team also offer a wide range of additional plumbing services.
Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?
If the drip is not bad enough to warrant fixing right now, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the sound. Or knot some string around the tap spout long enough to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
