Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

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.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water tap to cut off all water to your residence.

Once you have stopped the problem from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. They’ll be there promptly to solve the issue.

While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any important items, mop up any water, and position a container to catch any drips. You should also turn 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.

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

Emergency Plumbers Standing By

Blocked Drains Hassles

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

Clogged drains can be a serious health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains unclogged.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink will not empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we’ll arrive at your home speedily to solve the issue. Our experienced 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 usually fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the complication to minimise further damage and get back with what is needed 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 blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Leaks

Had a hard day at work and desperately want a hot shower? Time to put the kids into the bath? Got a sink-full of dishes to finish off? It’s never convenient to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden discover that the water is barely warm.

When the hot water is not up to standard, you want it to be working again fast. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can quickly identify the issue and get it resolved.

Hot water leaks can quickly push your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hiding in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted fast, it will become more costly by the hour.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our The Patch emergency plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the existing hot water cylinder is not fixable, our professional plumbers can assist in finding the best soutions for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also worn out, we can schedule improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Resolved In No Time

The pipes in your home are a generally concealed but key part of everyday life. Large and small, underground, in the wall or the ceiling or under the floor, they bring clean water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.

Usually, you do not even think about them until something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is generally a significant problem that must be resolved immediately before the building, your furnishings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

The moment a leak is found, give us a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We are ready to answer night or day. Before they arrive, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to prevent yet more leaking.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and start to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older residence, they might simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have iced up and ruptured. In a newer residence, there could be an issue with how they were installed. Subterranean seals could have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our 24 hour plumbers can diagnose and repair your broken pipes or leaks promptly and efficiently.

We Have You Covered

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you own a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply broken?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping tap can be a significant annoyance. Something that can go unheard in the hurly burly of every day life without warning sounds like a jack hammer in the wee hours, disturbing your sleep.

Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking tap can escalate your bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot tap. Don’t waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your residence, call our team now.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need in the vans to remedy your leak. Our plumbers carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you need a new one, or can install a temporary one if required.

From emergency plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too big or minor for our The Patch plumbers. Not only can we repair leaking taps, the team also offer a broad range of other plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

If it’s not annoying enough to need repairing right now, you can place a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to minimise the noise. Or tie some string around the tap aerator sufficient to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
