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.

Many appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to stop all water to your property.

Once that’s sorted, give our plumber a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you shortly to fix the leak.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant things close to the leak, and clean up any water or place a container to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also 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.

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.

Blocked Drains Fixed

Our Runciman on call plumbers know that a clogged drain can be a major health hazard that needs fixing right away. That’s why we provide our urgent plumbing service.

Obestructed drains can be a serious health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Occasionally 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 be there rapidly to get the drains unclogged.

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Regardless of whether it 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 things flowing again.

In the rare case that we can not get the blockage completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, we will find a temporary solution to tide you over until we 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 obstructed pipes ruin your day. Call our on call Runciman emergency plumbing team right away!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Problems

Had a hard day at work and badly require a nice warm shower? Time to put the children into the bath? Got a pile of dishes to finish off? It is seldom convenient to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly discover that the water is cold.

If the hot water isn’t up to temperature, you want it to be working again as fast as possible. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can quickly identify the problem and get it fixed.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause serious damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about thiry percent of the average home’s power bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your pocket very quickly.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Runciman urgent plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the cylinder is not fixable, our professional plumbers can assist in picking the most suitable solution for your household requirements, budget and location. If the whole system is aged and worn out, we can organise improvements at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted In No Time

From the little clean water pipes in your floor, walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, the majority of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even think of them until there’s a problem.

Most of the time you don’t even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden we’re standing in a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it repaired asap, to prevent damage to your home, belongings and well-being.

As soon as you find a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our urgent plumbers immediately. Our team are waiting to help Runciman residents right away. While you are waiting for us to arrive, it could be useful to turn off the water to the house.

Why did the pipe fail?

There are a variety reasons why pipes and taps may burst. If you reside in a very cold location, the pipes may have frozen and split. They could simply be aged and dilapidated. The pipes may not have been installed properly to begin with. Tree roots can invade underground seals.

When they are at your home, our on call plumber will locate the issue and promptly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipes if required to look for other problems.

We Have You Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you own a annoying tap? One that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just busted?

Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping tap can be a major aggravation. A little thing that can go unnoticed in the hurly burly of daily life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer in the wee hours, destroying your deams.

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise your bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot tap. Do not waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your house, call us now.

Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our on call plumbers have the parts that you need. All the vehicles are well equipped with parts and have a small choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we don’t have what you need, our plumber can install an interim faucet until we find what you desire.

As well as providing Runciman with urgent plumbing of all types, our team are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too extensive or too small.

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

Find a length of string of some type, and tie it onto the tap spout so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the string and flow off quietly.
