Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

After Hours Plumber: FAQ

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 access point and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t find the main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Once that is sorted, give our plumber a call, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be there promptly to get things sorted.

While you wait for our emergency plumber, remove any significant things, clean up any water, and position a container to catch any drips. You should also 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.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Fixed

When your drains are overflowing, you want help quickly. Our after hours Runciman plumbers know how disheartening and damaging clogged drains can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.

Clogged pipes can be a serious health risk, especially when sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unclog it on your own with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the drains unclogged.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Whether there is a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get things flowing once more.

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 complication to minimise further damage and get back 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.

Don’t let blocked pipes ruin your day. Ring our same day Runciman emergency plumbing team right away!

Burst Pipes Sorted Promptly

Big or little, hidden underground or in the floor, walls or roof, the various pipes in your residence are a unseen but indispensible part of everyday activities. They carry clean water to your home, and transfer unclean water and sewage away.

Usually, people do not even think about them unless something goes wrong. But when it does, it is usually a major issue that needs to be fixed immediately before the building, your possessions or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

As soon as you locate a leak or burst pipe, phone our after hours plumbers asap. We are waiting to assist Runciman residents right away. While you are waiting for us to arrive, it could be useful to turn off the water to the property.

How did my pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can break down for a variety of reasons. The pipes might simply be old and dilapidated. Or they could have iced up in extremely cold weather and burst. Tree roots might have grown into subterranean joints. Or there might be an issue with how they were set up in the first place.

Our same day plumbers can diagnose and fix the broken pipes or leaks expeitiously and professionally.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Taps Not Working?

Do you have a troublesome tap? A tap that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?

A lot of our clientelle over the years have told us how aggravating it is to have a dripping or broken tap. You might not even hear the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it is reverberating around the house like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it is a major problem.

It is not just aggravating drips though. Leaks may push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you simply want a washer, or a whole new tap, our same day plumbers have the parts that you need. All the vans are fully equipped with parts and have a small selection of replacement taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we do not have what you want, our plumber can put in an interim tap until we find the style you need.

As well as providing Runciman with after hours plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too great or too small.

Why is my faucet dripping?

Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or faulty washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of tap, we can usually replace worn out parts on the spot for a very modest cost.
