Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

After Hours 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.

If there is water still leaking, turn off the isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main shutoff valve for your home. If you’re unable to find a tap to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the house to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any time of the day or night. They will be there quickly to solve the problem.

While you wait, begin mopping up any water, position a container to catch drips, and remove important items 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.

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.

Blocked Drains Fixed

When your drains are overflowing, you need help fast. Our after hours The Patch plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.

A clogged pipe is a major problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unblock it yourself with a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it is the ensuite sink that will not empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our 24 hour The Patch plumbers will quickly locate the problem and unblock 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 unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the complication to prevent further damage and return with what is required 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 blocked drains ruin your day. Call our 24 hour The Patch emergency plumbers right away!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Leaks

We normally take our hot water for granted, until it is not working correctly. Need to put mucky kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to warm up after a wintery day? Have some of dishes to take care of? It is difficult to have a proper wash up when the water is cold.

When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you want it sorted fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it repaired as fast as possible 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 property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of the usual household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your wallet very rapidly.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our The Patch after hours plumbers as soon as you can. 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 switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our helpful team can help pick 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 schedule repairs at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Fast

Big or little, hidden underground or within the floor, wall or ceiling, the various pipes in your home are a unseen but significant part of your everyday activities. They bring clean water to your home, and remove used water and sewage out.

Most of the time we barely even think about them. Not until something goes wrong, and suddenly you are looking at a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it fixed without delay, to minimise damage to your home, possessions and well-being.

The moment a leak is discovered, give our team a ring, and our after hours plumbers will be on their way quickly. Our team are waiting to take your call day or night. Before they arrive, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to prevent further flooding.

Why did my pipe fail?

There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps can start to leak. If you live in a extremely cold location, the pipes may have frozen and ruptured. They may just be aged and worn out. They might not have been installed properly in the first place. Tree roots may invade subterranean junctions.

Our 24 hour plumbers can identify and repair the burst pipes or leaks quickly and cleanly.

All Tapware Handled

Tapware Issues Resolved

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

We have seen all sorts of tap problems over the years, and we understand that even a little drip can sound like a woodpecker at 2am when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a insignificant niggle, can all of a sudden be a drastic plumbing emergency.

It is not only vexing drips though. Leaks may push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you just need a washer, or an entire replacement faucet, our 24 hour plumbers have got what you require. All the vehicles are well stocked with parts and carry a small choice of new taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we do not have what you want, we can put in an interim faucet until we track down the style you desire.

As well as providing The Patch with after hours plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too large or little.

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

If it’s not bad enough to need repairing right this moment, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to diminish the sound. Or knot a length of twine around the tap spout long enough to touch the bottom of the basin, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
