What should you do when you discover a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If you find water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the electricity at the breaker box. Then, attempt to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
If there is still water leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main water valve for your home. If you’re unable to locate the water valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the house to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the problem from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to resolve the issue.
While waiting for our emergency plumber, remove any significant items, mop up any water, and place a bucket to catch any drips. You should also turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
You might know it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is normally located on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.
When your pipes are overflowing, you need help straight away. Our on call Thomson plumbers understand how overwhelming and damaging obstructed drains can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.
A obstructed pipe is a serious problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it yourself with a plunger. But if you can not, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink will not empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will be at your home rapidly to solve the problem. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.
In the rare case that we can’t get the clog completely removed or more extensive repairs are needed, we will find an interim solution to get you through until we return.
If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to remove the clog yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom do a good job and can cause damage to your drains.
Don’t let blocked pipes ruin your day. Call our same day Thomson emergency plumbing team now!
You often do not think about how heavily you rely on easy fast hot water until it is not there anymore. Just finished up in the garden and really want a wash? Want to take care of some dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and discover it’s barely warm.
When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it sorted fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it sorted as soon as possible so you can get back to normal life.
Hot water leaks can swiftly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired quickly, the cost will become more costly by the hour.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Thomson on call plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. 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 you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking a suitable option for your budget, requirements and area. If your entire hot water system needs improvements, our plumbers can arrange to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.
The pipes in your residence are a largely unseen but important part of your daily activities. Big or small, under the ground, in the wall or the roof or under the floor, they bring fresh water to your home and take the used stuff away.
Normally we barely even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden you are standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be sorted out without delay, to prevent damage to your home, furnishings and well-being.
When you identify a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our on call plumbers as soon as possible. We are waiting to help Thomson residents right now. Whilst waiting for our plumber to arrive, it could be useful to turn off the water to the home.
Pipes can fail and start to leak for many reasons. If you reside in an older house, they might simply be aged and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have frozen and split. In a new home, there may be an issue with how they were installed. Underground joins could have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
When they arrive, our after hours plumber will identify the issue and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of your pipes if advised to look for other issues.
Do you live with a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply defective?
Over the years, we have found that even a dripping faucet can be a serious aggravation. Something that can go unnoticed in the hurly burly of daily life suddenly sounds like someone practicing the drums at 2am, ruining your deams.
It’s not only annoying drips though. Leaks may push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
Whether you want a whole new faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional emergency plumbers can quickly identify the trouble and fix it. We even carry a small selection of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if required.
As well as providing Thomson with on call plumbing of all kinds, our team are available for general maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too big or too small.
The drips are keeping me awake, how can I stop them temporarily to get some peace and quiet?
Find a piece of string of some type, and knot it around the tap spout so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and trickle off quietly.
