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

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We will be there as soon as possible to save the day.

While you are waiting, remove any significant possessions from the area, and mop up any water or put a bucket to catch any drips. If you turned the mains water off, 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, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.

Blocked Drains Problems

We understand a obstructed pipe can be a major problem. Whether it is the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked pipe is never a happy circumstance. That is why our team of urgent plumbers are ready to solve your plumbing emergency.

Blocked pipes can be a major health risk, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it on your own with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the drains unblocked.

Whether it’s the ensuite sink that won’t clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your yard, our on call Runciman plumbers will quickly identify the issue and clear it so that life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the complication 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 drain send your day down the tubes. Ring 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 is not functioning properly. Need to put grubby kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to defrost following a chilly day? Have some of dishes to finish off? It is a pain to have a good wash up when the water is lukewarm.

When your hot water has fallen short, give our plumbers a ring. We’ll be there quickly to figure out the problem and get it fixed. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can repair them and get your life back to normal.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause major damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of the average home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your wallet very quickly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Runciman urgent plumbers right away. We will get the hot water working again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our helpful team can assist in picking the most suitable option for your household needs, budget and area. If the whole system is tired and worn out, we can organise upgrades at a time that suits you as well.

Urgent Plumber Standing By

Burst Pipes Resolved In No Time

Large or little, buried in the earth or in the floor, wall or roof, the various pipes in your home are a hidden but significant part of everyday life. They carry fresh water to your abode, and remove dirty water and sewage out.

Most of the time we don’t even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly you are standing in a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be sorted out immediately, to prevent damage to your residence, furnishings and well-being.

The moment a leak is found, give our team a call, and our urgent plumbers will be with you quickly. We’re ready to answer day or night. Before they arrive, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to prevent yet more damage.

How did my pipe fail?

There are many reasons why pipes and taps might fail. If you live in a very cold climate, they may have frozen and burst. They might just be old and past their use-by. They might not have been adequately sealed to begin with. Tree roots can force open underground pipes.

When the on call plumber arrives, they will locate the problems and fix them in a quick and expert manner.

All Taps Handled

Tapware Problems Solved

Do you have a problematic tap? One that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright broken?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping faucet can be a major annoyance. Something that might go unheard in the hubbub of every day life without warning sounds like someone practicing the drums in the middle of the night, ruining your shuteye.

It isn’t just vexing drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s 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 putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you require an entire new faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our expert on call plumbers will quickly identify the cause and solve it. Our plumbers even carry a small selection of taps and faucets in their van for you to select from, or can install a temporary one if required.

From big to small, our Runciman urgent plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we offer a wide selection of emergency and general plumbing services.

How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some sleep?

If it is not bad enough to warrant repairing right this moment, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to diminish the sound. Or knot a piece of twine around the tap aerator sufficient to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
