It is the worst possible time and your bathroom tap has started leaking, or your hot water heater has given up the ghost, or the sink is blocked. Leaks, broken tapsfaucets, hot water tanks and clogged drains may all be a real pain.
Plumbing problems are not pre-booked and convenient. There are so many ways that a plumbing emergency can ruin everything, and that’s why we strive to be there as fast as we can, even when it is public holiday or after hours.
Our Shanes Park after hours plumbers are waiting right now for you to ring. We are prepared to resolve your problems so that you can return to enjoying life again. Our 24 hour service ensures that you don’t need to wait, so just give us a phone for plumbing help, any day of the year.

As well as after hours plumbing, we also do every-day plumbing. If you’ve got a non-urgent plumbing job, phone or email our office and we’ll make sure it gets sorted. Our friendly reliable team are ready and waiting to assist you.
What do I do when a plumbing emergency hits?
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 do not combine safely, so if needed turn the electricity off at the breaker box.
Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water valve to cut off all water to the property.
Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there quickly to solve the issue.
While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start cleaning up any water, place a container to catch any drips, and clear away significant items from the affected area. If the house water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
You might have been shown it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is normally positioned on the property perimeter near the road, typically under a blue or black cover.
It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
We know a blocked pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That is why our team of after hours plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.
Clogged pipes can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unclog it yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the pipes unblocked.
Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will be at your abode rapidly to solve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the issue to minimise further damage and return with what is required as soon as possible.
Can I unblock the drain myself?
If you have a plunger you can try to clear the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please do not use chemicals as they seldom do the job properly and the chemicals can ruin the drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
It’s been a hard day at work and badly want a hot shower? Time to put the children in the tub? Got a sink-full of dishes to finish up? It is rarely convenient to turn on the hot tap and suddenly discover that the water is barely warm.
If the hot water isn’t up to standard, you want it to be repaired fast. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can quickly diagnose the problem and get it resolved.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause serious damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of the average household’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your wallet very swiftly.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Shanes Park after hours plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water working again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your cylinder is not fixable, our reliable team can help pick the best solution for your household requirements, budget and area. If your whole system is aged and worn out, we can organise upgrades at a time that suits you as well.
The pipes in your house are a normally concealed but indispensible part of your daily life. Big and small, subterranean, within the walls or the roof, they bring clean water to you and take the unclean stuff away.
Often, we don’t even think about them unless something goes drastically wrong. But when it does, it’s a major problem that must be resolved immediately before your house, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.
As soon as a leak is identified, give us a ring, and our after hours plumbers will be with you quickly. We’re waiting to answer 24/7. Before they get there, it could be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to reduce yet more flooding.
Why did my pipe burst?
Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you own an older house, they may simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have frozen and split. In a recently built house, there might be an issue with how they were installed. Subterranean pipes might have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
When they are at your home, our 24 hour plumber will identify the problem and expeitiously repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipework if needed to look for other damage.
Do you own a annoying faucet? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain defective?
Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping tap can be a significant aggravation. A little thing that can go unnoticed in the brouhaha of daily life without warning sounds like elephants tap dancing at 2am, disturbing your deams.
Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking tap can escalate the bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your house, call our team now.
Whether you just need a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our on call plumbers have the parts that you need. All the vehicles are well stocked with parts and carry a small selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we don’t have what you require, our plumber can install an interim tap until we locate what you need.
From after hours plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too big or minor for our Shanes Park plumbers. Not only can we repair leaking taps, the team also provide a broad range of additional plumbing services.
The drips are keeping me awake, how can I temporarily stop them to get some peace and quiet?
Find a length of string of some kind, and tie it around the faucet aerator so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the twine and dribble off quietly.
Our team has many years of combined experience looking after the people of Shanes Park. Our many happy repeat clients confirm our reputation for professional, quality, economical work. We aim to assist you with your emergency and general plumbing needs rapidly and professionally.
All our plumbers are licenced, certified, professional, and will ensure that all plumbing work meets industry standards. We want to ensure your home is a happy healthy reliable place to live, and will go the extra mile day or night to do so.
Over the years we’ve seen it all. You name it, we have been up to our elbows in it. And even if it is the middle of the night, on a public holiday, or during Christmas dinner, we will be there promptly, repair the problem efficiently and clean up behind ourselves before we leave.
When you ring our emergency line, you will speak directly to a plumber, not an answering service. We might even be able to help you resolve your problem over the phone. If not, our plumber will be there quickly in a fully stocked van to get you sorted as fast as possible.
