Frequently Asked Questions - Important

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 water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest location or at the mains tap outside. If you can’t locate the main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time of the day or night. We will be at your place as soon as we can to resolve the problem.

While waiting for our emergency plumber, remove any important items, wipe up any water, and place a bucket 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.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps also.

Blocked Drains Fixed

When your pipes are overflowing, you need help asap. Our after hours The Patch plumbers understand how disheartening and damaging blocked drains can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.

Obestructed drains can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can fix it on your own with a plunger and a little know-how. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the pipes cleared.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Regardless of whether there is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the problem to prevent further damage and get back with what is required 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.

Do not let blocked drains ruin your day. Call our on call The Patch emergency plumbers now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Not Working

Had a hard day at work and desperately require a nice warm shower? Time to put the kids into the bath? Got a sink-full of dishes to take care of? It is rarely handy to turn on the hot tap and suddenly discover that the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you want it repaired promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it remedied fast so you can get back to normal life.

Hot water leaks can quickly send the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks undetected in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted speedily, it will become more costly by the day.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our The Patch after hours plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water flowing 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 is not repairable, our professional plumbers can assist in finding the best soutions for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, we can arrange an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Sorted Promptly

From the little clean water pipes in the walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even remember them until there’s a problem.

Usually, people don’t even recall their existence unless something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s generally a major problem that must be resolved immediately before the building, your possessions or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

Our after hours plumbers are ready to be on the scene quickly, so ring us as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can cut back further damage by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if needed.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes can break down and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older residence, they may simply be old and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, they may have iced up and split. In a newer residence, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Underground junctions could have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our on call plumbers can identify and repair the damaged pipes or leaks speedily and expertly.

All Tapware Covered

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you have a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether defective?

We’ve seen all sorts of faucet issues over the years, and we understand that even a little drip can sound like elephants tapdancing at night when you’re trying to sleep. What was a minor irritant, can suddenly become a dire plumbing emergency.

As well as keeping the whole house awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t let the bills increase more, or maybe even cause damage to your home, call our on call plumber right away.

Whether you simply want a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our on call plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vans are well equipped with parts and have a modest selection of new taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we do not have the faucet you require, we can install a temporary tap until we find what you need.

From large to small, our The Patch after hours plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we provide a broad selection of urgent and general plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me awake, how can I temporarily stop them to get some sleep?

Usually, a dripping faucet is caused by a dilapidated or defective washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the type of faucet, we can frequently replace dilapidated parts on the spot for a very acceptable price.
