FAQ: Urgent Plumber

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 service valve or at the mains valve outside. If you can’t locate the main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We will be there as soon as possible to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant things, clean up any water, and put a container to catch any drips. You should also 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.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Fixed

When your drains are overflowing, you want help as soon as possible. Our urgent Runciman plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging clogged drains can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.

A blocked drain is a serious predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it using a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to see, or smell!

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

In the rare case that our plumbers can not get the clog completely removed or more extensive repairs are required, we will find a temporary solution to get you through until we return.

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 get you down. Call us now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Not Working

Had a hard day at work and desperately need a toasty warm shower? Time to put the kids in the bath? Have a pile of dishes to finish up? It is never opportune to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly discover that the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you want it remedied promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it hot again as soon as possible so you can get back to normal life.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause serious damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of the usual home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your wallet very quickly.

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

If the cylinder is not repairable, our professional team can assist in picking the best option for your household needs, budget and location. If the whole system is tired and deteriorating, our plumbers can arrange for improvements at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved In No Time

From the little clean water pipes in your floor, walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your residence are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even think of them until there’s a problem.

Normally we don’t even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly you’re standing in a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be repaired as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your residence, belongings and health.

The moment a leak is found, give us a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on the road rapidly. We are ready to answer any time. Before they get there, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to minimise further flooding.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes can break down and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you live in an older residence, they may simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have iced up and burst. In a recently built house, there might be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Underground seals could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once our after hours plumber is present, they will isolate the problems and repair them in a speedy and expert manner.

We Have You Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you own a problem faucet? One that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a geyser?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a serious irritation. A little thing that might go unnoticed in the hubbub of every day life suddenly sounds like elephants tap dancing in the middle of the night, destroying your deams.

Not only is the sound frustrating, but a dripping or leaking tap can raise your bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your residence, call our team now.

Whether you just want a washer, or a whole new faucet, our after hours plumbers have got what you require. All the vans are fully equipped with parts and carry a small selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we don’t have the faucet you want, our plumber can put in an interim tap until we track down the style you desire.

From urgent plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too extensive or minor for our Runciman plumbers. Not only can we sort out the leaking taps, we also provide a broad selection of additional plumbing services.

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

Usually, a dripping faucet is caused by a worn out or defective washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of faucet, we can usually replace dilapidated parts immediately for a very modest outlay.
