Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

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 off the water at the nearest valve or at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the water main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once that’s sorted, give our plumber a call, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be there promptly to get things sorted.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin wiping up any water, place a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away valuable items from the area. If the mains water is turned off, then 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.

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

Blocked Drains Solved

When your drains are overflowing, you want help right now. Our on call Runciman plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging blocked drains can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.

A clogged drain is a major predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it by yourself using a plunger. But if you can not, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the problem to minimise further damage and return with what is required 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 get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Issues

Had a hard day at work and desperately need a toasty warm shower? Time to put the children in the bath? Got a few dishes to finish up? It’s rarely convenient to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden realise that the water is barely warm.

When the hot water is not up to standard, you need it sorted as fast as possible. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen everything and can quickly diagnose the problem and get it fixed.

Did you know around 30% of your household power bill goes to 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 house and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water woes empty your pocket, get them repaired promptly.

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

If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking the best solution for your budget, needs and area. If the whole hot water system requires upgrading, our plumbers can organise to do those repairs in a opportune manner as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Quick

Big or small, buried underground or within the floor, walls or ceiling, the pipes in your home are a hidden but indispensible part of everyday activities. They carry fresh water to your home, and transfer used water and sewage out.

Normally, people barely even recall them until something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s generally a significant issue that needs to be sorted immediately before your house, your belongings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

The moment a leak is discovered, give our team a ring, and our on call plumbers will be on the road quickly. Our team are ready to answer night or day. Before they arrive, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to reduce yet more flooding.

Why did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes and taps can break down for various reasons. The pipes might simply be old and worn out. Or they could have iced up in very wintery weather and ruptured. Tree roots might have forced open underground seals. Or there may be an issue with how the pipes were installed in the first place.

Once they are at your home, our 24 hour plumber will diagnose the problem and promptly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipes if required to check for other issues.

All Taps Handled

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you live with a troublesome tap? A tap that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just defective?

Over the years, we have found that even a dripping faucet can be a significant irritation. A little thing that can go unheard in the hurly burly of every day life without warning sounds like someone practicing the drums in the middle of the night, ruining your shuteye.

It is not only irritating drips though. Leaks can run 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 little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need on hand to stop your leak. We carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you require a new one, or can install a temporary one if required.

From on call plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too great or small for our Runciman plumbers. Not only can we repair the leaking taps, the team can also provide a wide range of other plumbing services.

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

If the drip is not aggravating enough to need fixing right this moment, you can place a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to diminish the noise. Or tie a piece of string around the faucet aerator long enough to rest on the base of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
