Emergency 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 isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main valve for your property. If you’re unable to find the main valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your home to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Once that is done, give our team a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you rapidly to get things sorted.

While waiting for our emergency plumber, clear away any important things, mop up any water, and place a bucket to catch any drips. You also should switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

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, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps also.

Blocked Drains Fixed

Our Runciman 24 hour plumbers understand that a obstructed pipe can be a serious health risk that needs attending to as soon as possible. That’s why we have our emergency plumbing service.

Blocked pipes can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to clear the block yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need someone there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink will not empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we’ll arrive at your home rapidly to resolve the problem. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we require on hand to fix almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that needs extra equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are concluded.

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 System Problems

Had a hard day at work and badly require a nice warm shower? Time to put the kids into the bath? Have some dishes to finish up? It’s never handy to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden discover that the water is tepid.

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

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

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Runciman emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We will get the hot water working 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 your old hot water cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our reliable plumbers can help in finding the best options for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also worn out, we can arrange an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Resolved In No Time

The pipes in your house are a generally concealed but key part of daily activities. Large or small, in the earth, within the walls or the roof, they bring fresh water to your home and take the unclean stuff away.

As soon as you find an issue though, it’s the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be worrying stuff, and you need it resolved as soon as possible to prevent damage to your house, your possessions and even your well-being.

Our emergency plumbers are set to get to you right away, so ring us as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can minimise further flooding by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if needed.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you reside in an older residence, they might simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have iced up and burst. In a new house, there could be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean pipes could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our 24 hour plumbers will diagnose and repair the burst pipes or leaks speedily and expertly.

All Taps Covered

Tapware Issues Fixed

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

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a serious vexation. A little thing that might go unnoticed in the hurly burly of every day life without warning sounds like a jack hammer at 2am, disturbing your deams.

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

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need in the vans to remedy your leak. The team carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to choose from if you need a replacement, or can install a temporary one if required.

As well as providing Runciman with emergency plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too great or too small.

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

Normally, a dripping faucet is caused by a dilapidated or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the type of faucet, we can often replace worn out parts right then and there for a very acceptable price.
