Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

On Call 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 valve or at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the water main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

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

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant possessions from the area, and wipe up any water or put 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.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

Blocked Drains Problems

We realise a blocked drain can be a major problem. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged pipe is never a good thing. That is why our team of on call plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Blocked drains can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the block yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need a professional there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether it’s the kitchen sink that won’t clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your garden, our same day Runciman plumbers will efficiently locate the issue and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare case that our plumbers can not get the clog completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are needed, we will find a temporary solution to keep you going until our plumbers return.

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. Ring our same day Runciman emergency plumbing team now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Problems

You generally don’t think about how much you count upon easy quick hot water until it is not there any longer. Just finished in the garage and really want a wash? Want to deal with a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and find it’s lukewarm.

When the hot water isn’t hot enough, you want it to be hot again as soon as possible. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen it all and can quickly identify the problem and get it resolved.

Did you know around 30% of your home power bill powers the hot water heating? A leak can suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a considerable amount of damage to your residence and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water problems damage your wallet, get them repaired as fast as possible.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Runciman on call plumbers immediately. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your old hot water cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our friendly plumbers can assist in finding the best options for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, our plumbers can arrange improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

The pipes in your home are a largely unseen but very important part of daily activities. Big or small, in the garden, in the walls or the roof, they bring fresh water to you and take the unclean stuff away.

Normally you barely even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden we are looking at a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be sorted out without delay, to minimise damage to your home, possessions and health.

As soon as a leak is found, give our team a call, and our on call plumbers will be on the road rapidly. We’re ready to answer day or night. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to prevent further flooding.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes can fail and start to leak for many reasons. If you reside in an older house, they might simply be aged and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, they might have iced up and cracked. In a newer home, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean joins may have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When they are at your home, our same day plumber will locate the issue and speedily repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipes if required to check for other issues.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Taps Not Working?

Do you have a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply defective?

We’ve been called to a range of faucet issues over the years, and we understand that even a minor drip can sound like elephants tapdancing at 2am when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a insignificant aggravation, can suddenly become a serious plumbing emergency.

It is not only aggravating drips though. Leaks can run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you want an entire new tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional same day plumbers can quickly identify the problem and solve it. Our plumbers even carry a small selection of taps and faucets on hand for you to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From large to small, our Runciman on call plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we provide a wide range of emergency and general plumbing services.

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

If the drip is not annoying enough to be worth fixing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the racket. Alternatively tie a piece of twine around the tap spout long enough to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
