Frequently Asked Questions - Important

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.

Many appliances and fixtures have taps that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to stop all water to your property.

Once you have stopped the leak from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. We will be there promptly to resolve the issue.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant possessions from the area, and wipe up any water or put a bucket to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.

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 as well.

Urgent Plumbers Ready

Blocked Drains Issues

When your drains are overflowing, you want help quickly. Our urgent Runciman plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.

Clogged pipes can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the problem yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need a professional there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether it’s the bathroom sink that won’t empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our after hours Runciman plumbers will quickly locate the obstruction and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the complication to minimise further damage and return with what is needed as soon as we can.

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

We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it is not working correctly. Time to put muddy kids in the shower? Deperately need a good soak to warm up after a freezing day? Got some of dishes to take care of? It is a pain to have a proper wash when the water is cold.

When the hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you need it fixed promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is luke warm or practically boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it repaired quickly so your life can get back to normal.

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

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Runciman urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If you find 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 do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick a suitable option for your budget, requirements and location. If the whole hot water system needs improvements, we can organise to do that in a timely manner as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed In No Time

The pipes in your residence are a largely unseen but indispensible part of your daily life. Big or small, in the earth, within the walls or the ceiling, they carry fresh water to you and take the used stuff away.

As soon as you find a problem though, it’s the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you need it repaired immediately to prevent damage to your residence, your belongings and even your well-being.

When you find a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our urgent plumbers asap. We are waiting to assist Runciman residents right now. While you are waiting for us to arrive, it may be useful to turn off the water to the house.

How did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older home, they may simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have iced up and burst. In a recently built home, there could be an issue with how they were installed. Underground joins might have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once our after hours plumber is present, they will locate the problems and fix them in a rapid and professional manner.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tapware Problems Sorted

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

We’ve seen a range of tap problems over the years, and know that even a little drip can sound like elephants tapdancing at 2am when you’re trying to sleep. What was a insignificant irritant, can suddenly become a major plumbing emergency.

It is not just aggravating drips though. Leaks may run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you want an entire new tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional after hours plumbers will speedily identify the trouble and remedy it. Our plumbers even carry a small choice of taps and faucets on hand to select from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From urgent plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too big or small for our Runciman plumbers. Not only can we fix your leaking taps, the team also offer a wide selection of additional plumbing services.

Why is my faucet dripping?

Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a dilapidated or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of tap, we can usually replace worn out parts immediately for a very acceptable cost.
