Emergency Plumber 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 still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest service valve or at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the leak from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, at any time of the day or night. They’ll be there promptly to resolve the issue.

While you wait for our emergency plumber, clear away any important things, clean up any water, and put 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.

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

Blocked Drains Problems

We know a obstructed drain can be a major emergency. Whether it is the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked drain is never a good thing. That is why our team of emergency plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.

Obestructed pipes can be a serious health risk, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unclog it yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the drains cleared.

Whether it is the bathroom sink that won’t clear, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your yard, our same day The Patch plumbers will quickly locate the obstruction and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that our plumbers can’t get the clog completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, we will find an interim solution to keep you going until we come back.

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 blocked drains ruin your day. Ring our same day The Patch emergency plumbers now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Problems

We usually don’t think about how heavily we depend upon effortless quick hot water until it isn’t available any longer. Just finished up in the garage and really need a wash? Want to take care of a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the tap and discover it’s lukewarm.

When the hot water isn’t up to standard, you want it to be fixed speedily. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can rapidly identify the issue and get it resolved.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause major damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around thiry percent of your home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your wallet very quickly.

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

If you need a new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking the best solution for your budget, needs and location. If your entire hot water system needs upgrading, we can schedule to do that in a opportune fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Promptly

From the small clean water pipes in your walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes in the ground, most of the pipes in your home are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even remember them until there’s an issue.

Usually, we do not even recall them unless something goes drastically wrong. But when it does, it is generally a major problem that must be sorted urgently before your house, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

Our emergency plumbers are prepared to be on the scene quickly, so ring us as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can reduce further damage by turning the water off at the mains tap if required.

Why did the pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can fail for various reasons. They may simply be past their prime and worn out. Or they may have frozen in very frigid weather and cracked. Tree roots might have forced open underground seals. Or there could be a problem with how they were set up to begin with.

Once the same day plumber is present, they can identify the problems and repair them in a quick and professional manner.

All Tapware Covered

Tapware Leaks Resolved

Do you own a troublesome faucet? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up broken?

Many customers over the years have told us how irritating it is to have a dripping or defective tap. You might not even hear the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it is reverberating throughout your home like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it is a serious issue.

It is not just irritating drips though. Leaks may run up the 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 simply need a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our same day plumbers have got what you require. All the vehicles are well stocked with parts and have a small choice of new taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we don’t have the tap you require, we can put in a temporary faucet until we find the style you want.

From emergency plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too big or small for our The Patch plumbers. Not only can we fix your leaking taps, we can also provide a broad selection of additional plumbing services.

How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?

If it’s not aggravating enough to need fixing right this moment, you can put a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to minimise the racket. Alternatively tie some twine around the tap aerator long enough to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
