Frequently asked questions
Don't get overwhelmed by plumbing jargon - we're here to make it simple. At Flowsafe Plumbing we are committed to helping you understand common questions that we get from our customers. Here are some of those popular questions answered for you.
-
When your drains are blocked at home, it can cause all sorts of problems. Naturally you may want to avoid the cost of calling a professional drain plumber. It might be possible to unblock your drains but it’s often not fun. It can be messy, takes a lot of time and if you’re not a professional blocked drain plumber, it’s almost impossible to locate the source of the blockage. Most people find it stressful after trying with their plungers, vinegar, hot water and bleach because it may not solve the problem effectively – that they find hiring a professional blocked drain plumber is far more efficient.
-
First you drain the sink of any water, then seal the sink overflow. Make sure you cover your floor area in case of any spillage. Unscrew and remove the plughole so you can clean it. Have a peek down the plughole to see if there are any obvious blockages. Once clean, replace the plughole and wipe any moisture. Take out your plunger and place it firmly over the plughole. Run the taps for a few seconds until you’ve got a couple of inches of lukewarm water around the plunger seal. Grip the plunger with both hands and pump it up and down vigorously to create suction. With a bit of luck, you’ll dislodge the blockage and get a gurgle from the sink. If this doesn’t work you may need to try other solutions or simply call a professional plumber to get it sorted easily.
-
The sink is designed to drain liquids, not solids. Blocked drains at home typically happen because of debris or household dirt. The most common causes of blocked drains are usually hair, tissues or toiletries, plants and dirt, food, a buildup of grease, heavy rain or storms, bad pipe installations and broken pipes. The best way to avoid blockage at your home is to prevent it. Make sure you try to clean and filter your drain as often to avoid any buildup over time.
-
Other than call-out fees, plumbing service charges evolve around labour cost. In Australia, it’s common for plumbers to charge an hourly rate, although it depends on the job on a case-by-case basis. Upon inspecting the problem, some plumbers may choose to charge a fixed rate instead of hourly rate. The average hourly rate in Australia ranges from $80 to $130, but it can vary based on your location, experience as a plumber and also the type of services. For example, plumbers may charge higher for emergency services or after hours service. Call Flowsafe Plumbing on 0415 122 675 for emergency services without additional charges.
-
A plumber’s call out fee in Australia ranges between $60 to $100. The fee is usually on top of labour and repair costs. In general, it covers the cost of the time it takes for a professional plumber to visit your home and inspect your job and generate a quote. It's also payment for their experience and expertise, which they use to diagnose the problem and help figure out the best solution. At Flowsafe Plumbing we provide a quote for free with no call out fees. Call 0415 122 675 today for plumbing help in Melbourne.

Any legitimate professional emergency plumber will absolutely do their best to get to your home as soon as possible. However, it could take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours for your local emergency plumber to arrive, particularly if they’re currently in a busy season. While waiting, don’t panic. Deal with the damage as you can, shut off your water main, turn off the gas if needed and you can also call your water company to inform them of any emergency issues. Once your plumber arrives, leave the issue to their professional expertise. If you need emergency plumbing help in Melbourne, call Flowsafe Plumbing on 0415 122 675.
