What to do in a Plumbing Emergency?

Below are some commonly asked questions on  emergency plumbing drain problems

  • My drains are blocked what do I do?
  • The toilet or Drains inside and or  outside are overflowing what do I do?
  • The water or sewerage keeps coming out of my drains and will not stop what do I do?

What to do???   Here are the answers.

If your drains are overflowing inside or outside your house and will not stop it is definitely time to call a plumber.  Sometimes when this happens it can be a Water Corporation blockage,  but you will first need to have it confirmed by a Licenced Plumber that it is a water corporation blockage,  so quick give us a call on 13Plumber 137586

If the drains are blocked and they are not overflowing constantly into the house or outside then this is not as bad as the above situation,  the Perth Plumbing Professionals suggest you turn off the water to the fixture weather it be a toilet, shower,  basin etc and do not use it Give us a call on 137586 and we will attend to it as soon as possible,  if this blockage happens after hours and it is not causing any damage or annoyance, it may be possible for you to wait till normal business hours to have the blockage fixed to avoid paying extra costs for after hours work

You should also avoid sticking things that should not go down the drains, down the drains,  and be aware that toilet ducks the cleaners that hang on the side of your toilet can also cause blockages

if you have young children, we recommend that you keep toys and small objects that can be flushed down the drains out of reach,  we are constantly doing work at child care centres where we find all sorts of things down drains, like clothes, toys,  sand cutlery etc
