Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ: Urgent Plumbers

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.

Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water isolating tap to stop all the water to the residence.

Once that is done, give us a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you promptly to get things sorted.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin mopping up any water, place a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away significant things from the area. If the mains 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.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

Urgent Plumber Ready

Blocked Drains Hassles

When your pipes are overflowing, you need help fast. Our urgent Runciman plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging clogged pipes can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.

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

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.

With our well equipped vans, we have all we require on hand to repair almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying problem that requires other equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are finished.

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 clogged drain ruin your day. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Not Working

You generally don’t think about how heavily we rely on effortless fast hot water until it isn’t there anymore. Just finished up in the garage and really need a shower? Time to take care of a pile of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s cold.

When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it fixed fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or practically boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it hot again quickly so you can get back to normal life.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of your home’s power bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your pocket very swiftly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Runciman urgent plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking a suitable option for your budget, needs and area. If your whole hot water system requires upgrading, we can organise to do those repairs in a timely manner as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Fast

Big or little, buried subterranean or in the floor, wall or ceiling, the pipes in your home are a concealed but important part of everyday activities. They carry clean water to your house, and transfer dirty water and sewage away.

Once there is a problem though, it is the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you want it resolved without delay to prevent damage to your residence, your belongings and even your well-being.

Our urgent plumbers are prepared to be on the scene quickly, so ring our plumbers as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water off at the mains tap if needed.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a range of reasons. The pipes might simply be old and dilapidated. Or they may have iced up in extremely wintery weather and cracked. Tree roots might have forced open subterranean seals. Or there could be a problem with how they were set up in the first place.

Our on call plumbers can identify and fix the broken pipes or leaks speedily and professionally.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you live with a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether broken?

Over the years, we have found that even a dripping tap can be a significant irritation. Something that can go unheard in the brouhaha of daily life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos in the wee hours, ruining your shuteye.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate the bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your residence, give us a ring.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need in the vans to resolve that leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to choose from if you need a new one, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From urgent plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too large or minor for our Runciman plumbers. Not only can we fix your leaking taps, we can also provide a wide selection of other plumbing services.

Why is my tap dripping?

Find a length of twine of some type, and knot it onto the faucet spout so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the twine and dribble off quietly.
