Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ - After Hours 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 isolating valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating valve to stop all water to the residence.

Once that is sorted, give our team a call, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be with you promptly to fix the leak.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin cleaning up any water, put a bucket to catch drips, and remove significant things from the area. If the mains 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 is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Problems

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

Clogged pipes can be a serious health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can fix it on your own with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the drains cleared.

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Whether there is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get things flowing again.

In the rare instance that we can’t get the blockage completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find an interim solution to get you through until we 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 clogged pipe ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Issues

We generally take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Time to put grubby kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to warm up following a chilly day? Got some of dishes to finish off? It’s difficult to have a good clean when the water is not hot.

When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it remedied fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it remedied fast so your life can get back to normal.

Did you know around 30% of the average home electricity bill is used on hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a considerable amount of damage to your home and to things stored nearby. Don’t let hot water woes damage your wallet, get them fixed quickly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Runciman after hours plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water working again promptly. If there is 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 your cylinder is not repairable, our reliable team can assist in picking the most suitable option for your household requirements, budget and area. If your whole system is aged and deteriorating, our plumbers can arrange for upgrades at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted In No Time

From the little fresh water pipes in the floor, walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your residence are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even remember them until there is an issue.

Normally we barely even think about them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden we are looking at a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be fixed immediately, to minimise damage to your house, belongings and health.

Our after hours plumbers are prepared to get to you quickly, so call our plumbers as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can cut back further flooding by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if required.

How did the pipe burst?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps might break down. If you live in a extremely cold climate, they may have frozen and cracked. They may simply be aged and dilapidated. They might not have been properly installed in the first place. Tree roots may force open underground pipes.

Our on call plumbers will diagnose and fix the broken pipes or leaks quickly and precisely.

All Taps Handled

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you live with a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether defective?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping tap can be a major vexation. Something that can go unnoticed in the hubbub of daily life without warning sounds like a jack hammer in the middle of the night, destroying your deams.

As well as keeping the everyone awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not let the bills rise further, or possibly cause damage to your residence, contact our on call plumber straight away.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need on hand to resolve your leak. The team carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you require a new one, or can install a temporary one if required.

As well as serving Runciman with after hours plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too great or minor.

How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

If the drip is not aggravating enough to warrant repairing right this moment, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to diminish the noise. Alternatively tie a length of twine around the faucet aerator long enough to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
