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 there is water still leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main water valve for your home. If you are unable to find a water valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your home to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there as soon as we can to resolve the problem.

While you are waiting, clear away any important items close to the leak, and mop up any water or place a container to catch any drips. If you 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.

It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Issues

We understand a obstructed drain can be a major emergency. Whether it is the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked drain is never a happy circumstance. That’s why our team of urgent plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Obestructed drains can be a serious health risk, especially when sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unclog it yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there quickly to get the pipes cleared.

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Whether there is a toy blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.

In the rare case that we can’t get the blockage completely removed or more extensive repairs are required, we will find an interim solution to keep you going until our plumbers 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 a blocked 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 Problems

You often don’t think about how heavily we rely on easy fast hot water until it isn’t available any longer. Just finished in the garden and really want a shower? Need to finish up some dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and discover it’s tepid.

When the hot water isn’t hot enough, you need it repaired fast. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can rapidly identify the issue and get it resolved.

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

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Runciman urgent plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water working again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder is not able to be fixed, our professional team can help pick the most suitable solution for your household requirements, budget and area. If the whole system is past it’s use by date and deteriorating, our plumbers can arrange for upgrades at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

From the small fresh water pipes in your walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, the majority of the pipes in your house are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We never even remember them until there’s an issue.

As soon as you find an issue though, it’s the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you want it fixed as soon as possible to prevent damage to your home, your contents and even your well-being.

The moment a leak is identified, give us a call, and our urgent plumbers will be on the road rapidly. We are waiting to answer 24/7. Before they arrive, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to minimise yet more flooding.

How did the pipe start leaking?

Pipes and taps can break down for various reasons. They may simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they could have frozen in extremely cold weather and split. Tree roots might have forced open underground connections. Or there might be a problem with how the pipes were set up to begin with.

Our on call plumbers will identify and repair your broken pipes or leaks expeitiously and expertly.

We Have You Covered

Taps Not Working?

Do you own a problem faucet? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain broken?

Many our clientelle over the years have mentioned how vexing it can be to live with a dripping or defective faucet. You might not even notice the drip during the daytime, but in the wee hours when it is echoing around your home like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it is a sigificant problem.

It is not only frustrating drips though. Leaks may run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, 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 an entire replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional on call plumbers can rapidly locate the problem and resolve it. We even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can install a temporary one if required.

As well as providing Runciman with urgent plumbing of all kinds, we are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too big or minor.

Why is my tap dripping?

If it’s not bad enough to need repairing right now, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the sound. Or tie a length of string around the tap spout sufficient to touch the base of the basin, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
