Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

After Hours Plumbers: FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off at the power panel.

If there is water still leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main shutoff valve for your property. If you’re unable to locate the tap to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the home to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We will be at your home as soon as possible to save the day.

While you wait for our emergency plumber, remove any important items, clean up any water, and put a container to catch drips. You also should switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!

You may have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is normally located on the boundary near the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.

Blocked Drains Hassles

We know a obstructed drain can be a serious emergency. Whether it is the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked pipe is never a happy circumstance. That is why our team of after hours plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.

A obstructed drain is a serious predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it yourself with a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to see, or smell!

Whether it’s the kitchen sink that won’t clear, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your yard, our urgent Runciman plumbers will efficiently locate the issue and clear it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we need available to fix almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying problem that needs extra equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are completed.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can damage your drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Problems

You tend to do not realise how heavily you depend on easy quick hot water until it is not there anymore. Just finished up in the garage and really want a shower? Need to deal with a pile of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and discover it’s barely warm.

When the hot water isn’t up to standard, you need it to be sorted fast. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can quickly diagnose the problem and get it resolved.

Did you know about 30% of your home power bill powers the hot water heating? A leak may suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a considerable amount of damage to your home and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Do not let hot water troubles empty your pocket, get them resolved as fast as possible.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Runciman after hours plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our professional plumbers can assist in picking the best solution for your household requirements, budget and area. If your whole system is old and worn out, our plumbers can schedule repairs at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Solved In No Time

The pipes in your home are a normally concealed but important part of daily life. Large and little, in the garden, within the wall or the roof, they bring clean water to you and take the used stuff away.

Most of the time we never even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and suddenly we’re looking at a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be sorted out as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your home, possessions and health.

The moment a leak is found, give our team a ring, and our after hours plumbers will be with you quickly. We’re waiting to take your call day or night. Before they arrive, it could be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to reduce yet more leaking.

How did my pipe fail?

Pipes can break down and start to leak for many reasons. If you reside in an older residence, they might simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework may have frozen and cracked. In a newer house, there may be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground joins could have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When our urgent plumber arrives, they will isolate the issues and repair them in a quick and expert manner.

All Tapware Handled

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you own a troublesome tap? One that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a fountain?

Many customers over the years have mentioned how vexing it is to live with a dripping or busted faucet. You might not even hear the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it’s reverberating around your home like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it’s a serious problem.

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking tap can raise your bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your home, call our team now.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need on hand to remedy your leak. We carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you require a new one, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From big to small, our Runciman after hours plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a wide range of urgent and non-urgent plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me awake, how can I stop them temporarily to get some sleep?

If it’s not bad enough to need fixing right now, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to diminish the racket. Alternatively tie a length of twine around the faucet aerator long enough to touch the base of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
