FAQ - Emergency Plumbers

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.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have taps that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to stop all the water to the property.

Once you have stopped the leak from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, at any time of the day or night. We will be there quickly to solve the issue.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start wiping up any water, place a bucket to catch drips, and remove valuable things from the area. If the mains 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 is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Solved

Our The Patch urgent plumbers understand that a obstructed pipe can be a major health risk that needs attending to right away. That’s why we have our emergency plumbing service.

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

Whether it is the kitchen sink that won’t empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our urgent The Patch plumbers will efficiently identify the obstruction and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the issue to prevent further damage and return 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.

Don’t let a obstructed drain ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Leaks

You generally do not think about how heavily you count upon effortless fast hot water until it isn’t available anymore. Just finished up in the garden and really want a shower? Time to take care of some dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the water and discover it’s cold.

When the hot water is not hot enough, you need it sorted as fast as possible. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it resolved.

Hot water leaks can rapidly send your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired quickly, the cost can become more costly by the day.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our The Patch emergency plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water flowing again promptly. If you find 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 you do need a new hot water cylinder, our team can help pick a suitable option for your budget, needs and location. If your whole hot water system needs upgrading, our plumbers can arrange to do that in a timely manner as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Fast

The pipes in your home are a largely hidden but important part of your everyday activities. Big or little, in the earth, in the wall or the ceiling or under the floor, they carry clean water to you and take the used stuff away.

As soon as you find an issue though, it is the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you want it resolved immediately to prevent damage to your house, your belongings and even your health.

As soon as a leak is identified, give our team a call, and our emergency plumbers will be with you quickly. We are waiting to answer 24/7. Before they arrive, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to minimise yet more leaking.

How did my pipe fail?

There are a variety reasons why pipes and taps can break down. If you reside in a very cold location, the pipes might have iced up and cracked. They could simply be old and worn out. They may not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots can force open subterranean pipes.

Once they arrive, our urgent plumber will locate the problem and expeitiously fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of your pipes if advised to check for other problems.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a broken tap? One that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a geyser?

Many clients over the years have mentioned how frustrating it is to live with a dripping or busted tap. You may not even be aware of the drip during the daytime, but in the wee hours when it’s resounding throughout your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it is a sigificant issue.

It is not just vexing drips though. Leaks may drive up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you simply want a washer, or a whole new faucet, our urgent plumbers have got what you require. All the vehicles are fully equipped with parts and have a modest choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we do not have the tap you require, we can put in an interim tap until we find what you need.

From large to small, our The Patch emergency plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we provide a broad range of emergency and day to day plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some sleep?

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