Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

24 Hour Plumbers: 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.

Many appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains tap to cut off all water to your property.

Once that’s sorted, give us a call, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be there rapidly to resolve the problem.

While you wait, begin wiping up any water, put a container to catch drips, and clear away valuable possessions from the affected area. If the house 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.

It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Issues

When your pipes are overflowing, you need assistance quickly. Our 24 hour Runciman plumbers know how frustrating and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.

A obstructed pipe is a serious problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it using a plunger. But if you can not, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to see, or smell!

Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will arrive at your home quickly to solve the problem. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the complication to prevent 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 a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Problems

It’s been a hard day at work and badly need a nice warm shower? Time to put the kids into the bath? Have a few dishes to deal with? It’s never convenient to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden realise that the water is barely warm.

When your hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you want it working again quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it fixed quickly so your life can get back to normal.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and can cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of your home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your pocket very swiftly.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Runciman 24 hour plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water working again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your old hot water cylinder isn’t fixable, our reliable team can assist in finding the best options for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, we can schedule an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Sorted Fast

Big or little, hidden in the ground or in the floor, wall or ceiling, the pipes in your home are a unseen but integral part of daily activities. They bring fresh water to your residence, and transfer dirty water and sewage out.

Usually, you never even remember them until something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s a major issue that needs to be fixed urgently before your home, your belongings or even your health are damaged or ruined.

As soon as you discover a leak or burst pipe, phone our 24 hour plumbers as soon as possible. Our team are waiting to assist Runciman residents right away. Whilst waiting for us to get there, it could help to turn off the water to the home.

How did the pipe burst?

There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps may break down. If you live in a cold region, they may have frozen and split. They may just be old and past their use-by. The pipes may not have been installed properly to begin with. Tree roots can grow into subterranean pipes.

When they are at your home, our after hours plumber will locate the problem and speedily fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of the pipework if needed to look for other issues.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tap Issues Resolved

Do you own a broken faucet? One that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing a fountain impression?

A lot of clients over the years have told us how irritating it can be to have a dripping or defective faucet. You might not even be aware of the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it’s resounding throughout the house like someone practicing the drums, suddenly it’s a serious problem.

It is not just vexing drips though. Leaks may push up your 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 causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you need a whole replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our expert after hours plumbers can quickly identify the cause and solve it. We even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets in their van to select from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From large to small, our Runciman 24 hour plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we provide a wide selection of emergency and general plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I stop them temporarily to get some peace and quiet?

Find a piece of string of some type, and tie it onto the faucet spout so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and dribble off quietly.
