PLUMBING EMERGENCIES: WHAT TO DO WHILE YOU WAIT FOR A PLUMBER

Thursday, November 12, 2020 11:28 AM plumbing dubbo

Plumbing emergencies in Dubbo can be incredibly frustrating. For expert plumbing diagnosis, you just need to find the right plumbing team, like us at Nudge’s Plumbing. And, to reduce the stress of a plumbing emergency, there are things you can do before the plumbers arrive. 

 

• While you are waiting for a plumber, there a few little things you can do to help make the process as efficient as possible. First, you can find your shut off valves in your bathrooms, kitchen, and utility room and turn them off. Don’t forget the mains shut off either, to isolate your plumbing system and prevent even more water from flowing where it shouldn’t.

• Next, it would be a good idea to shut off electricals, just in case. Electricity and water unfortunately don’t mix. Use a bit of caution if you aren’t sure exactly where your plumbing problem is.
• If the location of the problem is fairly obvious, you can help the plumbers and maybe speed up the process by clearing space so they have room to work in. Also, mop up where you can. Other than that, the plumber can take care of the rest.

Unforeseen accidents happen all the time, especially in constantly working systems such as your plumbing. The trick is to fix them as fast as possible, so they don’t get worse. So, if anything happens that you can’t fix with your plunger, it’s time to call the plumber.
