Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

On Call Plumber: 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 water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest isolating valve or at the mains valve outside. If you can’t find the water main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there as soon as possible to save the day.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin wiping up any water, place a bucket to catch drips, and remove significant possessions from the area. If the house water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

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.

It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Problems

We know a clogged drain can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked drain is seldom a good thing. That’s why our team of on call plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.

A blocked pipe is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll be at your abode quickly to solve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

In the rare case that we can not get the clog completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find a temporary solution to keep you going until we come back.

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 Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Leaks

We generally do not realise how heavily you rely upon effortless quick hot water until it isn’t there anymore. Just finished up in the garage and really want a shower? Need to finish up a few dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the tap and find it’s barely warm.

When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it sorted fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it repaired quickly so your life can get back to normal.

Hot water leaks can quickly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks hiding in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted asap, the cost will become more costly by the hour.

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

If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking the best option for your budget, needs and area. If your whole hot water system requires improvements, we can organise to do that in a opportune manner as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved In No Time

Large and little, hidden in the earth or in the floor, walls or ceiling, the pipes in your house are a unseen but key part of your everyday activities. They bring clean water to your abode, and remove dirty water and sewage out.

Most of the time you do not even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and all of a sudden you’re standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it repaired as soon as possible, to prevent damage to your house, belongings and well-being.

The moment a leak is identified, give our team a call, and our on call plumbers will be on their way rapidly. Our team are ready to take your call night or day. Before they arrive, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to reduce yet more damage.

How did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you reside in an older home, they may simply be old and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have iced up and split. In a newer house, there may be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground seals might have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they arrive, our after hours plumber will diagnose the problem and promptly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of the pipework if required to check for other issues.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tap Issues Solved

Do you own a defective tap? A faucet that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing a geyser impression?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a major vexation. A little thing that can go unheard in the brouhaha of daily life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer at 2am, disturbing your deams.

Not only can it keep the everyone awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not let the bills rise even further, or possibly cause damage to your house, contact our after hours plumber now.

Whether you just want a washer, or an entire replacement tap, our after hours plumbers have the parts that you need. All our vans are fully stocked with parts and carry a small choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we do not have the tap you need, our plumber can put in an interim faucet until we locate what you desire.

From large to small, our Runciman on call plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we offer a wide selection of emergency and general plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I temporarily stop them to get some peace and quiet?

If it’s not aggravating enough to be worth fixing right now, you can put a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to diminish the noise. Or knot a length of twine around the faucet spout sufficient to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
