Emergency 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 still water leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main shutoff valve for your property. If you are unable to find the main valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the residence to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

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

While you wait, begin mopping up any water, position a bucket to catch drips, and clear away significant things from the area. If the mains water is turned off, then 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 taps as well.

Blocked Drains Issues

When your drains are overflowing, you want help fast. Our emergency The Patch plumbers know how frustrating and damaging clogged drains can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.

Blocked drains can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the problem yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a plumber there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether it is the ensuite sink that won’t empty, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our after hours The Patch plumbers will efficiently identify the problem and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vans, we have all we need available to repair almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying problem that needs extra equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are completed.

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 clogged pipes ruin your day. Ring our after hours The Patch emergency plumbing team now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Not Working

We normally take having hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Need a good soak to defrost following a chilly day? Got a few of dishes to finish up? It is awkward to have a good clean up when the water is cold.

If the hot water is not hot enough, you want it to be hot again promptly. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can quickly identify the issue and get it fixed.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about thiry percent of the usual home’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your wallet very swiftly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our The Patch emergency plumbers straight away. We’ll get your 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 cylinder is not fixable, our friendly plumbers can help pick the most suitable solution for your household needs, budget and area. If your whole system is tired and worn out, our plumbers can arrange for repairs at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted In No Time

The pipes in your home are a normally unseen but key part of daily life. Large or small, in the earth, within the walls or the ceiling, they bring fresh water to you and take the unclean stuff away.

Normally, people barely even recall their existence unless something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s usually a serious problem that needs to be sorted out urgently before the building, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

As soon as you find a leak or burst pipe, phone our emergency plumbers as soon as possible. Our team are waiting to assist The Patch residents right now. While you are waiting for us to arrive, it could help to turn off the water to the home.

Why did the pipe burst?

Pipes can deteriorate and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older residence, they may simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have iced up and cracked. In a newer home, there might be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean connections could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our after hours plumbers will identify and repair the burst pipes or leaks rapidly and expertly.

We Have You Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you own a problematic faucet? One that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain busted?

We’ve been called to an assortment of faucet problems over the years, and we understand that even a small drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink in the small hours when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a insignificant aggravation, can suddenly become a drastic plumbing emergency.

It is not just vexing drips though. Leaks can push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. And, if water is getting down 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 want a whole new tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our expert after hours plumbers will efficiently identify the problem and solve it. Our plumbers even carry a small selection of taps and faucets in their van to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From emergency plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too large or little for our The Patch plumbers. Not only can we sort out leaking taps, the team also provide a wide range of other plumbing services.

Why is my faucet dripping?

Find a length of twine of some type, and tie it around the faucet aerator so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and dribble off quietly.
