Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Urgent 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.

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

Once that is done, give our plumber a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We will be with you rapidly to resolve the problem.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any important items close to the leak, and wipe up any water or place a container to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating 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 bowl.

Blocked Drains Hassles

When your pipes are overflowing, you need assistance asap. Our urgent Runciman plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging clogged pipes can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.

Clogged pipes can be a major health risk, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the drains cleared.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink will not empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will arrive at your home rapidly to resolve the problem. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

In the rare instance that we can’t get the blockage completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, we will find a temporary solution to get you through 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.

Don’t let a clogged drain send your day down the tubes. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Not Working

It’s been a hard day at work and badly want a toasty warm shower? Time to put the children in the bath? Got a few dishes to take care of? It is never opportune to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden realise that the water is cold.

When the hot water has let you down, give our team a ring. Our team will be there swiftly to figure out the issue and fix it. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can sort them out and get your life back to normal.

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

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Runciman urgent plumbers right away. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. 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 cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our friendly team can help pick the best solution for your household needs, budget and area. If the whole system is tired and worn out, we can schedule improvements at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Quick

The pipes in your home are a normally unseen but indispensible part of daily life. Large or little, underground, within the walls or the ceiling or under the floor, they bring fresh water to you and take the dirty stuff away.

Often, you don’t even recall them unless something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is a major issue that must be resolved urgently before your home, your furnishings 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 quickly. We are waiting to answer night or day. Before they get there, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise yet more damage.

Why did my pipe burst?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you live in an older residence, they might simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have frozen and cracked. In a recently built home, there might be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean joins could have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When the after hours plumber is present, they can isolate the issues and fix them in a prompt and expert manner.

All Taps Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

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

We have been called to an assortment of faucet issues over the years, and we understand that even a little drip can sound like a woodpecker at night when you’re trying to sleep. What was a minor aggravation, can suddenly become a serious plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate your bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot tap. Do not waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your house, give us a ring.

Whether you require a whole new tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our specialist after hours plumbers can rapidly find the trouble and fix it. We even carry a small selection of taps and faucets on hand to select from, or can install a temporary one if required.

As well as serving Runciman with urgent plumbing of all kinds, we are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too great or minor.

Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some rest?

Usually, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or faulty washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of faucet, we can usually replace dilapidated parts on the spot for a very reasonable expenditure.
