After-hours Service

Check first of all to ascertain that it is not a general power failure in the street.

If it is a general failure please call the Energy Australia emergency number.

If the failure is localised to your unit, check to ensure that the circuit breakers have not tripped or fuses blown. As those fuses and circuit breakers are your responsibility. If circuit breakers and fuses are intact, call the Clisdells after-hours emergency number.

If you have in your Unit any working life-support equipment, such as a Dialysis machine, please call the emergency numbers given by the equipment supplier or medical team responsible for monitoring the patient’s condition.

Water supply failure can be caused several reasons the first being that Sydney Water are carrying out work on the street pipes and have temporarily shut off the supply or a plumber may be working in the building.

Check first of all that this is not the case. Other reasons, could be failure of a circulation pump which could affect both Hot and Cold supply.

If you suspect that a pump has failed then call the Clisdells after-hours emergency number: 0498 555 424

Gas supply seldom fails and is most likely to be a fault with the appliance which you are using. Gas appliances within a Unit are your own responsibility to repair & maintain. The after-hours emergency team have instructions not to respond to this type of call.

If water suddenly starts running out of a wall, ceiling or floor it obviously should not be ignored you should take the following steps:

(a) If water is coming through the ceiling please check with the upstairs neighbour to ensure that their Dish-Washer, Washing Machine or internal Hot Water tank is not leaking. Please also note that if the problem does originate in the upstairs unit, with one of those appliances, then it is the individual resident’s responsibility to rectify at their own cost.

(b) If the problem appears to be a burst pipe within a wall or floor attempt to find the main stop-valve for your unit and turn it off. The shut off is normally in a kitchen cabinet, in the laundry or under the laundry tub. This may prevent further water flow damaging your carpet and personal effects.

Call the Clisdells after- hours emergency number: 0498 555 424

The first sign of a problem will frequently be that when flushing the toilet, the water backs up to the rim of the bowl and does not run away.
