Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ Urgent Plumber

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 isolating valve or at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the water main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

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

In the meantime, start mopping up any water, place a bucket to catch any drips, and remove important things from the area. If the property water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.

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 valves as well.

Blocked Drains Issues

When your pipes are overflowing, you need help right now. Our urgent Runciman plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging blocked drains can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.

Blocked drains can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to clear the clog yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need a plumber there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether it is the laundry sink that will not empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your garden, our on call Runciman plumbers will efficiently identify the issue and repair it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vans, we have all we require on hand to fix almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying issue that requires extra equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are finished.

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 Tank Issues

We generally take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Time to put grubby kids in the shower? Want a good soak to defrost after a wintery day? Got a pile of of dishes to take care of? It’s awkward to have a proper wash up when the water is not hot.

If the hot water is not hot enough, you want it to be hot again promptly. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.

Hot water leaks can swiftly push the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired fast, the cost can become more expensive by the hour.

If you find 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’ll get your 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 isn’t fixable, our helpful team can assist in picking the most suitable solution for your household needs, budget and area. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and deteriorating, we can organise upgrades at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Solved In No Time

From the small fresh water pipes in your walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes in the ground, most of the pipes in your residence are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. We do not even think of them until there’s an issue.

Often, we never even remember their existence until something goes wrong. But when it does, it is generally a significant problem that needs to be fixed urgently before your house, your belongings or even your health are damaged or ruined.

Our urgent plumbers are ready to be there quickly, so contact our team as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can minimise further flooding by turning the water off at the mains tap if required.

How did the pipe start leaking?

There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps may fail. If you reside in a very cold location, they might have frozen and split. They could simply be aged and past their use-by. The pipes might not have been properly installed in the first place. Tree roots can grow into subterranean junctions.

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

We Have You Covered

Taps Not Working?

Do you live with a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply busted?

Many customers over the years have told us how annoying it is to have a dripping or busted faucet. You might not even hear the drip during the day, but at 3am when it’s resounding throughout the house like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it’s a sigificant issue.

It isn’t just frustrating drips though. Leaks can drive up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you need an entire new tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our expert on call plumbers can efficiently find the issue and resolve it. We even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets on hand for you to pick from, or can install a temporary one if required.

From big to small, our Runciman urgent plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a wide selection of urgent and day to day plumbing services.

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

If the drip is not aggravating enough to warrant repairing right now, you can place a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to dampen the sound. Alternatively knot a piece of string around the tap spout long enough to rest on the base of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
