Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

After Hours 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.

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

Once that’s done, give us a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you promptly to fix the leak.

While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any important things, mop up any water, and put a bucket to catch drips. You should also turn 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.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

Blocked Drains Problems

When your drains are overflowing, you want help right now. Our after hours Runciman plumbers understand how overwhelming and damaging clogged drains can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.

A clogged pipe is a major problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it yourself using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to see, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Whether there is a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.

In the rare instance that we can not get the obstruction completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, our team 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 Not Working

It’s been a hard day at work and badly want a hot shower? Time to put the children in the tub? Have a pile of dishes to deal with? It is rarely opportune to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly discover that the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it working again quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it remedied quickly so you can get back to normal life.

Hot water leaks can rapidly send the power bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted quickly, it can become more expensive by the day.

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

If the existing hot water cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our friendly team can help in finding the best soutions for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, we can organise an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Fixed Fast

From the small clean water pipes in your floor, walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your house are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. We do not even think of them until there is an issue.

Once there is an issue though, it’s the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you want it repaired asap to prevent damage to your residence, your possessions and even your health.

Our after hours plumbers are prepared to be there right away, so contact our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if needed.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes can break down and start to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older home, they might simply be old and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, they might have frozen and ruptured. In a recently built house, there might be a problem with how they were installed. Underground joins might have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they arrive, our emergency plumber will identify the problem and promptly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipes if needed to check for other problems.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tapware Leaks Resolved

Do you own a annoying faucet? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just defective?

Many clients over the years have told us how frustrating it can be to have a dripping or defective tap. You may not even be aware of the drip during the day, but at 3am when it is reverberating around the house like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, suddenly it’s a sigificant issue.

Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate the bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot water. Do not waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your home, call us now.

Whether you require an entire replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional emergency plumbers can rapidly locate the trouble and resolve it. We even carry a small selection of taps and faucets on hand for you to pick from, or can install a temporary one if required.

From after hours plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too great or little for our Runciman plumbers. Not only can we fix leaking taps, the team can also provide a broad range of additional plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some sleep?

If it’s not bad enough to warrant repairing right this moment, you can place a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to diminish the noise. Or tie a piece of string around the faucet spout long enough to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
