Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ - Urgent 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.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff valve to cut off all water to your property.

Once that’s sorted, give our team a call, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be there rapidly to resolve the problem.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant things from the area, and mop up any water or place a bucket to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water 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 alongside the toilet.

Blocked Drains Hassles

When your pipes are overflowing, you want assistance asap. Our urgent Runciman plumbers understand how overwhelming and damaging obstructed drains can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.

A obstructed drain is a serious predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it using a plunger. But if you can not, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it is the bathroom sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our 24 hour Runciman plumbers will quickly locate the issue and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we require available to fix almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that requires other equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to keep you going 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.

Do not let blocked pipes ruin your day. Call our 24 hour Runciman emergency plumbers right away!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Problems

You generally do not realise how heavily we count on easy quick hot water until it is not available any longer. Just finished in the garage and really need a wash? Need to finish off a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and find it’s lukewarm.

When your hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you need it sorted fast. 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 need it remedied as fast as possible so your life can get back to normal.

Hot water leaks can rapidly send the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hiding in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired speedily, the cost can become more expensive by the hour.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Runciman urgent plumbers right away. We will get your hot water working again quickly. If there is 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 your cylinder is not able to be fixed, our reliable team can help pick the best option for your household needs, budget and location. If the whole system is aged and worn out, we can organise improvements at a time that works for you as well.

Urgent Plumber Standing By

Burst Pipes Fixed Promptly

Big and little, buried in the ground or in the floor, wall or roof, the various pipes in your home are a hidden but vital part of your daily activities. They bring fresh water to your home, and transfer dirty water and sewage away.

Ususally you don’t even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and all of a sudden we’re looking at a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it fixed without delay, to prevent damage to your residence, belongings and well-being.

When you locate a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our urgent plumbers right away. We are waiting to assist Runciman residents right now. Whilst waiting for our plumber to get there, it could help to turn off the water to the property.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you live in an older home, they might simply be old and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, they might have frozen and ruptured. In a recently built residence, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Underground pipes might have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they arrive, our 24 hour plumber will locate the issue and promptly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of your pipework if required to look for other issues.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tapware Leaks Solved

Do you have a annoying faucet? One that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright busted?

Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping faucet can be a serious vexation. A little thing that may go unnoticed in the brouhaha of every day life without warning sounds like someone practicing the drums in the wee hours, destroying your shuteye.

Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking tap can escalate the bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot tap. Don’t waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your residence, call our team now.

Whether you require a whole replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional 24 hour plumbers will quickly identify the cause and fix it. Our plumbers even carry a small selection of taps and faucets on hand for you to select from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From urgent plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too great or small for our Runciman plumbers. Not only can we repair leaking taps, we can also offer a wide selection of other plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

If it is not bad enough to need repairing right this moment, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to minimise the noise. Alternatively tie a length of string around the tap spout long enough to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
