FAQ Emergency 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.

If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest isolating valve or at the mains tap outside. If you can’t find the main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We’ll be at your place as soon as possible to save the day.

In the meantime, start wiping up any water, place a bucket to catch any drips, and remove valuable possessions from the 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.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.

Blocked Drains Issues

Our Runciman same day plumbers understand that a clogged drain can be a major health risk that needs attending to as soon as possible. That’s why we provide our emergency plumbing service.

A clogged pipe is a serious problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it yourself with a plunger. But if you can not, you need help fast. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it is the laundry sink that won’t empty, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our same day Runciman plumbers will quickly identify the obstruction and clear it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we require on hand to repair almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that needs other equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are completed.

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

We generally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning properly. Time to put mucky kids in the shower? Need a good soak to defrost following a wintery day? Have some of dishes to finish off? It’s awkward to have a proper wash up when the water is not hot.

When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you want it working again 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 constantly overflowing, you want it fixed fast so your life can get back to normal.

Hot water leaks can rapidly put your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hiding in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed promptly, it will become more costly by the day.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Runciman emergency plumbers right away. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the existing hot water cylinder is not repairable, our helpful team can help in identifying the best options for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also tired, we can arrange an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Emergency Plumber Standing By

Burst Pipes Fixed Promptly

From the little fresh water pipes in your walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the ground, the majority of the pipes in your home are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We do not even remember them until there’s an issue.

Ususally we never even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden we’re standing in a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be repaired without delay, to prevent damage to your residence, belongings and well-being.

As soon as you identify a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our emergency plumbers asap. We are waiting to assist Runciman residents right now. While you are waiting for us to arrive, it may help to turn off the water to the home.

Why did my pipe start leaking?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps can break down. If you live in a cold region, they might have iced up and cracked. They could simply be old and past their use-by. The pipes may not have been adequately sealed to begin with. Tree roots may invade underground seals.

Once the same day plumber is present, they will isolate the problems and fix them in a speedy and professional manner.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Taps Not Working?

Do you live with a problematic faucet? A tap that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain defective?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping tap can be a serious vexation. A little thing that might go unheard in the brouhaha of daily life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer in the middle of the night, destroying your deams.

As well as keeping the whole house awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t let the bills rise even higher, or possibly cause damage to your residence, ring our same day plumber straight away.

Whether you simply want a washer, or an entire new tap, our same day plumbers have the parts that you require. All our vehicles are well stocked with parts and have a modest selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we do not have the faucet you require, our plumber can put in a temporary tap until we locate the style you want.

From emergency plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too great or small for our Runciman plumbers. Not only can we fix your leaking taps, the team can also offer a broad range of other plumbing services.

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

Find a length of twine of some kind, and tie it around the faucet spout so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the twine and flow off quietly.
