Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

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.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main valve for your home. If you are unable to find the main valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, any hour of the day or night. We will be there promptly to resolve the problem.

While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant possessions from the area, and wipe up any water or place a container to catch any drips. If you’ve 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.

It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Fixed

Our Runciman on call plumbers realise that a blocked drain can be a serious health hazard that needs attending to right away. That is why we offer our after hours plumbing service.

A clogged drain is a major predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it using a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it’s the laundry sink that won’t clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our on call Runciman plumbers will quickly locate the issue and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that we can not get the clog completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, we will find a temporary solution to tide you over until our plumbers 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 blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Problems

We tend to take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Time to put grubby kids in the shower? Deperately need a good soak to warm up after a wintery day? Have a pile of of dishes to finish up? It is a pain to have a good wash up when the water is not hot.

If the hot water is not hot enough, you need it working again fast. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen it all and can rapidly identify the problem and get it fixed.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause major damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around thiry percent of your home’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your pocket very swiftly.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Runciman after hours plumbers right away. We will get your hot water flowing again quickly. If you find 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 you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can help pick the best option for your budget, needs and area. If your entire hot water system needs upgrading, we can arrange to do that in a opportune manner as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Fast

From the little fresh water pipes in your floor, walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We never even think of them until there is a problem.

Once there is a problem though, it is the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you want it fixed immediately to prevent damage to your home, your contents and even your well-being.

Why did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes can break down and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you live in an older home, they may simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have frozen and split. In a recently built home, there might be an issue with how they were installed. Subterranean junctions might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they are at your home, our on call plumber will identify the problem and speedily fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of your pipes if advised to check for other issues.

Taps Not Working?

Do you have a busted faucet? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a geyser?

Many our clientelle over the years have told us how aggravating it is to have a dripping or defective faucet. You might not even notice the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it’s reverberating throughout the house like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it’s a major problem.

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

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

As well as providing Runciman with after hours plumbing of all types, our team are available for general maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too big or little.

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

Find a piece of string of some kind, and tie it onto the tap spout so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and dribble off quietly.
