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.

If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest valve or at the mains tap outside. If you can’t find the water main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the diaster from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. We will be there rapidly to resolve the problem.

In the meantime, begin cleaning up any water, put a container to catch any drips, and clear away important items from the area. If the mains water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.

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, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.

Blocked Drains Fixed

We realise a clogged drain can be a serious problem. Whether it is the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged pipe is seldom a good thing. That’s why our team of urgent plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the clog yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need a plumber there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we’ll be at your home quickly to resolve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the issue to minimise further damage and get back with what is required as soon as possible.

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 Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Issues

We generally don’t think about how frequently we rely upon easy quick hot water until it is not available anymore. Just finished in the garage and really want a wash? Time to take care of some dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and find it’s tepid.

When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you need it working again quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it hot again asap so your life can get back to normal.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause major damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about thiry percent of the average home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your wallet very rapidly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Runciman urgent plumbers straight away. We will 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 the old hot water cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our helpful plumbers can assist in finding the best soutions for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, we can arrange improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Sorted In No Time

The pipes in your residence are a normally unseen but key part of everyday life. Large or little, subterranean, within the walls or the ceiling, they bring clean water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.

Usually, you barely even remember their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is generally a significant problem that needs to be sorted out immediately before your house, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

The moment a leak is found, give us a call, and our urgent plumbers will be on the road rapidly. We are ready to take your call any time. Before they get there, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to prevent further leaking.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes can break down and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you reside in an older house, they may simply be old and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have iced up and cracked. In a new home, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Underground connections may have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they are at your home, our same day plumber will diagnose the problem and quickly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipework if advised to look for other issues.

We Have You Covered

Taps Not Working?

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

We have been called to an assortment of tap issues over the years, and know that even a little drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums in the wee hours when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a trivial annoyance, can all of a sudden be a dire plumbing emergency.

It is not just annoying drips though. Leaks can push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. Not only that, 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 require a whole replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our expert same day plumbers can rapidly diagnose the cause and remedy it. We 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 large to small, our Runciman urgent plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a wide selection of emergency and day to day plumbing services.

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

If the drip is not bad enough to warrant fixing right now, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to dampen the noise. Or knot a length of twine around the faucet spout long enough to rest on the base of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
