Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

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

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

While you wait, begin cleaning up any water, position a container to catch any drips, and remove important things from the affected area. If the property water is turned off, 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’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Hassles

We understand a blocked drain can be a major problem. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our crew of urgent plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.

Blocked drains can be a major health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unclog it yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there quickly to get the drains unblocked.

Whether it is the ensuite sink that will not empty, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our on call Runciman plumbers will efficiently locate the issue and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the problem to minimise further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as possible.

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.

Do not let a clogged pipe get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Leaks

You generally don’t think about how frequently we count upon easy fast hot water until it is not there any longer. Just finished in the garden and really need a shower? Want to take care of a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and discover it’s cold.

When the hot water is not hot enough, you need it to be repaired fast. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can rapidly identify the problem and get it resolved.

Hot water leaks can quickly send the power bill through the roof. Leaks undetected in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed promptly, it can become more costly by the hour.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Runciman urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. If you find 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 your cylinder isn’t repairable, our helpful plumbers can assist in picking the most suitable solution for your household needs, budget and location. If the whole system is tired and worn out, our plumbers can schedule repairs at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Quick

Big and small, hidden under the ground or within the floor, walls or roof, the pipes in your residence are a concealed but significant part of daily life. They carry clean water to your residence, and take unclean water and sewage out.

Normally, we never even think about their existence until something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s a major issue that needs to be fixed immediately before your house, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

Our urgent plumbers are set to get to you quickly, so call us as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can cut back further damage by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if required.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a range of reasons. They may simply be old and worn out. Or they could have frozen in extremely frigid weather and burst. Tree roots might have forced open underground pipes. Or there may be a problem with how the pipes were set up in the first place.

When they are at your home, our on call plumber will locate the issue and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipes if required to check for other problems.

All Tapware Handled

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you live with a troublesome faucet? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up defective?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a significant aggravation. Something that might go unnoticed in the hurly burly of daily life without warning sounds like someone practicing the drums in the wee hours, disturbing your sleep.

Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking tap can send your bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your house, give us a ring.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need on hand to remedy that leak. The team carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you require a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if required.

As well as serving Runciman with urgent plumbing of all types, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too large or too small.

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

If it is not bad enough to need fixing right this moment, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to minimise the noise. Alternatively knot a length of string around the faucet aerator sufficient to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
