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 water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest location or at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to resolve the problem.

While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any significant items, mop up any water, and position a bucket to catch drips. You also should 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 Issues

When your drains are overflowing, you want help right now. Our urgent Runciman plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and we are ready to get them flowing again.

A clogged drain is a serious problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it using a plunger. But if you can not, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to see, or smell!

Whether it’s the laundry sink that won’t clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the garden, our after hours Runciman plumbers will quickly identify the problem and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the issue to prevent further damage and get back with what is required as soon as possible.

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!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Problems

We normally take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Need to put grubby kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to defrost after a freezing day? Got a pile of of dishes to take care of? It’s difficult to have a proper wash when the water is cold.

When the hot water has let you down, give our plumbers a ring. We’ll be there promptly to identify the issue and resolve it. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can sort them out and get you back to normal life.

Did you know around thiry percent of your home electricity bill is used on hot water heating? A leak can suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a lot of damage to your house and to things stored nearby. Don’t let hot water catastrophies damage your wallet, get them repaired as soon as possible.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Runciman urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We will get the hot water working again promptly. If there is 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 you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick a suitable solution for your budget, requirements and area. If your whole hot water system needs upgrading, we can organise to do that in a timely manner as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed In No Time

From the little clean water pipes in your walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your house are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even think of them until there is an issue.

Once there is an issue though, it’s the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be worrying stuff, and you need it fixed asap to prevent damage to your home, your furnishings and even your well-being.

As soon as a leak is found, give our team a call, and our urgent plumbers will be with you quickly. We’re waiting to answer night or day. Before they arrive, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise further leaking.

Why did the pipe start leaking?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for various reasons. The pipes might simply be old and dilapidated. Or they may have frozen in very frigid weather and burst. Tree roots might have invaded subterranean seals. Or there could be a problem with how the pipes were set up in the first place.

Our after hours plumbers will identify and fix your damaged pipes or leaks quickly and efficiently.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Tap Leaks Sorted

Do you live with a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether broken?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a major aggravation. Something that might go unheard in the brouhaha of every day life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos in the wee hours, ruining your shuteye.

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

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

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

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

Find a length of string of some kind, and knot it onto the tap spout so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and trickle off quietly.
