Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ: Emergency 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.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have service valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to stop all water to the home.

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

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant things from the area, and wipe up any water or put a container to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also 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.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.

Blocked Drains Problems

We realise a obstructed pipe 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 emergency plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

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

Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink will not drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will be at your abode speedily 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 case that we can not get the blockage completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are needed, our team 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 a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Hot Water Tank Leaks

We tend to take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Need a good soak to defrost after a long cold day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to finish up? It’s awkward to have a good wash up when the water is not hot.

When the hot water isn’t up to temperature, you need it to be fixed asap. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.

Did you know about thiry percent of the average home power bill goes to hot water heating? A leak may rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a lot of damage to your house and to items stored in the hot water cupboard. Do not let hot water calamities damage your wallet, get them fixed promptly.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Runciman emergency plumbers right away. We will get the hot water flowing 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 the old hot water cylinder isn’t repairable, our reliable team can assist in finding the best soutions for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also tired, our plumbers can organise an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Once there is an issue though, it’s the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you want it fixed as soon as possible to prevent damage to your residence, your contents and even your health.

How did my pipe burst?

Pipes can break down and start to leak for many reasons. If you reside in an older residence, they may simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have iced up and burst. In a new home, there may be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean junctions could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once our on call plumber is present, they can identify the issues and repair them in a quick and professional manner.

All Taps Handled

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you have a broken faucet? A tap that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a fountain?

A lot of customers over the years have mentioned how irritating it is to have a dripping or busted faucet. You might not even hear the drip during the daytime, but in the wee hours when it’s echoing throughout the house like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, suddenly it’s a sigificant problem.

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can send the bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot tap. Do not waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your house, call our team now.

Whether you need an entire new faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our expert on call plumbers will quickly find the problem and solve it. We even carry a small choice of taps and faucets in their van for you to select from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From emergency plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too large or small for our Runciman plumbers. Not only can we sort out the leaking taps, the team can also offer a wide selection of additional plumbing services.

Why is my tap dripping?

Find a length of twine of some kind, and knot it onto the faucet aerator so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the twine and dribble off quietly.
