Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

After Hours 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 service valve or at the mains tap outside. If you can’t find the water main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once that is done, give our team a ring, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be there shortly to fix the leak.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any important items close to the leak, and wipe up any water or put a container to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, also 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.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.

Blocked Drains Problems

We know a clogged drain can be a major problem. Whether it’s the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked drain is seldom a good thing. That’s why our crew of after hours plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.

A clogged drain is a major predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it with a plunger. But if you can’t, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Whether it 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 things flowing again.

In the rare case that our plumbers can’t get the obstruction completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, our team will find a temporary solution to tide you over until our plumbers 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 obstructed drain get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Not Working

We normally take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Time to put grubby kids in the shower? Deperately need a good soak to warm up after a freezing day? Got some of dishes to finish up? It’s a pain to have a good wash when the water is cold.

When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you need it remedied 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 working again as fast as possible so you can get back to normal life.

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

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Runciman after hours plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get the hot water flowing again promptly. If you find 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 you need a new hot water cylinder, our team can help pick the best option for your budget, requirements and area. If your whole hot water system requires improvements, our plumbers can schedule to do that in a timely manner as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted In No Time

The pipes in your house are a largely hidden but significant part of daily life. Big or small, in the ground, within the wall or the roof or under the floor, they bring clean water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.

Ususally you do not even think about them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden you’re looking at a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be fixed asap, to prevent damage to your home, belongings and well-being.

As soon as a leak is discovered, give our team a call, and our after hours plumbers will be with you rapidly. Our team are ready to take your call 24/7. Before they get there, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to reduce further flooding.

How did my pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can fail for many reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they could have frozen in very cold weather and ruptured. Tree roots could have grown into underground connections. Or there might be an issue with how they were set up in the first place.

Our on call plumbers will identify and repair your broken pipes or leaks rapidly and expertly.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Taps Not Working?

Do you have a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply defective?

We have seen a range of tap issues over the years, and know that even a minor drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink at night when you’re trying to sleep. What was a trivial irritant, can suddenly become a major plumbing emergency.

Not only can it keep the whole house awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t let the bills increase even higher, or possibly cause damage to your home, call our on call plumber now.

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 require a new one, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From after hours plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too extensive or small for our Runciman plumbers. Not only can we fix leaking taps, the team also offer a wide range of other plumbing services.

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

Find a length of string of some type, and tie it around the tap spout so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and dribble off quietly.
