Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ: 24 Hour Plumber

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

Once you have stopped the problem from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. We’ll be there promptly to solve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any significant things, mop up any water, and position a bucket to catch drips. You should also switch 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.

It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Problems

When your pipes are overflowing, you need help quickly. Our 24 hour Runciman plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging clogged drains can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.

Blocked drains can be a major health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unblock it on your own with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there quickly to get the pipes unblocked.

Whether it is the bathroom sink that won’t empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our urgent Runciman plumbers will quickly identify the issue and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the issue to minimise further damage and return with what is needed as soon as we can.

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 a clogged pipe 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 System Leaks

We normally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Time to put grubby kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to defrost following a wintery day? Have some of dishes to take care of? It’s hard to have a proper clean when the water is lukewarm.

If the hot water is not up to temperature, you need it fixed speedily. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen it all and can quickly identify the problem and get it fixed.

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

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Runciman 24 hour plumbers immediately. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your existing hot water cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our friendly team can assist in finding the best options for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, we can organise an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Fixed Quick

Big and small, buried under the ground or in the floor, walls or ceiling, the various pipes in your home are a hidden but significant part of daily activities. They carry clean water to your house, and transfer unclean water and sewage away.

Most of the time you do not even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden you’re looking at a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it fixed without delay, to prevent damage to your residence, possessions and well-being.

Our 24 hour plumbers are prepared to be on the scene quickly, so contact us as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can minimise further damage by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if needed.

Why did the pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for many reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they could have frozen in very cold weather and cracked. Tree roots might have forced open subterranean pipes. Or there might be a problem with how the pipes were set up in the first place.

When they arrive, our urgent plumber will identify the problem and quickly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of your pipes if advised to check for other issues.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tapware Leaks Sorted

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

Many clients over the years have mentioned how vexing it is to have a dripping or broken faucet. You may not even be aware of the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it is resounding throughout the house like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it is a sigificant issue.

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

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need in the vans to fix your leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you need a new one, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From 24 hour plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too big or little for our Runciman plumbers. Not only can we fix the leaking taps, the team also provide a wide range of additional 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 this moment, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to dampen the racket. Alternatively tie a piece of twine around the tap spout long enough to rest on the base of the sink, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
