Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Urgent Plumbers - 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 the water off at the nearest service valve and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot locate the water main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We will be at your home as soon as possible to save the day.

While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any significant things, clean 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 valves as well.

Blocked Drains Hassles

Our Runciman on call plumbers know that a blocked drain can be a serious health hazard that needs attending to right away. That’s why we offer our urgent plumbing service.

Obestructed drains can be a serious health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unclog it yourself with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains unclogged.

Whether it’s the ensuite sink that won’t drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your garden, our on call Runciman plumbers will efficiently identify the problem and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.

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

Do not let clogged pipes ruin your day. Call our on call Runciman emergency plumbing team now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Problems

We normally take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Need to put grubby kids in the bath? Need a good soak to warm up after a freezing day? Have a pile of of dishes to finish off? It’s hard to have a good wash when the water is cold.

If the hot water isn’t up to standard, you need it hot again as soon as possible. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it resolved.

Did you know about 30% of your household electricity bill goes to hot water heating? A leak may rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a considerable amount of damage to your residence and to items stored nearby. Don’t let hot water troubles harm your pocket, get them fixed fast.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Runciman urgent plumbers right away. 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 existing hot water cylinder is not able to be fixed, our friendly team can help in finding the best options for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also worn out, our plumbers can schedule an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Urgent Plumber Standing By

Burst Pipes Solved Fast

From the small fresh water pipes in your floor, walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the ground, the majority of the pipes in your residence are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We do not even think of them until there is a problem.

Often, you never even recall them until something goes wrong. But when it does, it is a major problem that needs to be sorted immediately before your home, your belongings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

The moment a leak is discovered, give us a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on their way quickly. We are ready to answer night or day. Before they arrive, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to minimise yet more flooding.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a variety of reasons. They might simply be old and dilapidated. Or they could have frozen in extremely frigid weather and split. Tree roots might have invaded subterranean pipes. Or there might be a problem with how they were set up in the first place.

Once our on call plumber arrives, they can locate the issues and repair them in a rapid and expert manner.

All Tapware Covered

Tap Issues Fixed

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

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping tap can be a major aggravation. A little thing that may go unnoticed in the hubbub of every day life without warning sounds like someone playing the bongos in the middle of the night, ruining your deams.

It is not only aggravating drips though. Leaks can push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you need a whole new faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional on call plumbers will speedily locate the problem and fix it. Our plumbers even carry a small choice of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can install a temporary one if required.

As well as providing Runciman with urgent plumbing of all kinds, our team are available for general maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too big or too small.

How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?

If it is not annoying enough to be worth repairing right now, you can place a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to minimise the sound. Alternatively tie a length of string around the tap spout sufficient to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
