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 the water off at the nearest location and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot find the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to resolve the problem.

While waiting, remove any significant possessions from the area, and wipe up any water or place a container 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, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.

Blocked Drains Fixed

Our Runciman emergency plumbers know that a clogged drain can be a serious health hazard that needs attending to immediately. That’s why we provide our urgent plumbing service.

Blocked drains can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unblock it on your own with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the pipes unblocked.

Whether it’s the laundry sink that will not clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our emergency Runciman plumbers will efficiently identify the problem and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the issue to minimise further damage and get back with what is needed 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 obstructed drain ruin your day. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Not Working

We normally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Time to put muddy kids in the bath? Want a good soak to warm up after a chilly day? Have some of dishes to finish up? It is difficult to have a good clean when the water is cold.

If the hot water isn’t up to temperature, you need it to be fixed as fast as possible. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of your household’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your wallet very swiftly.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your 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 large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the old hot water cylinder is not fixable, our helpful plumbers can assist in finding the best options for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, our team can organise improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Fixed Quick

From the small fresh water pipes in your walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your residence are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. You never even think of them until there’s a problem.

Often, people never even think about their existence unless something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s a major problem that must be fixed urgently before your house, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

Our urgent plumbers are set to be there right away, so ring our team as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can reduce further flooding by turning the water off at the mains tap if needed.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older home, they may simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, they might have iced up and split. In a new home, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground connections might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When our emergency plumber is present, they will locate the problems and fix them in a speedy and expert manner.

All Tapware Covered

Tapware Issues Fixed

Do you have a problem tap? A tap that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing a fountain impression?

A lot of clients over the years have told us how annoying it is to have a dripping or broken faucet. You might not even be aware of the drip during the daytime, but at 3am when it’s resounding throughout your home like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it’s a sigificant issue.

It’s not only frustrating drips though. Leaks may push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you require a whole replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional emergency plumbers can quickly identify the trouble and resolve it. Our plumbers even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets on hand for you to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

As well as serving Runciman with urgent plumbing of all kinds, our team are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too great or too small.

Why is my faucet dripping?

Find a piece of string of some type, and tie it onto the faucet spout so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the twine and trickle off quietly.
