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.

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

Once that’s done, give our team a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be there rapidly to get things sorted.

In the meantime, start cleaning up any water, place a container to catch any drips, and clear away significant items from the affected area. If the house 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.

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

Blocked Drains Fixed

We understand a obstructed pipe can be a serious problem. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged pipe is never a good thing. That’s why our team of emergency plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged drains can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the block yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need someone there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we’ll arrive at your home quickly to resolve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

In the rare instance that our plumbers can’t get the blockage completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, we will find an interim solution to tide you over until our plumbers return.

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 Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Not Working

You generally do not realise how heavily we rely on effortless quick hot water until it isn’t there anymore. Just finished up in the garage and really want a wash? Time to take care of a few dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the water and find it’s lukewarm.

When the hot water has let you down, give our plumbers a call. Our team will be there swiftly to identify the issue and resolve it. From heating elements to defective thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can sort them out and get you back to normal life.

Hot water leaks can swiftly put the power bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired speedily, it will become more expensive by the day.

When you discover 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 promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can help pick the best solution for your budget, requirements and location. If the whole hot water system needs improvements, our plumbers can schedule to do those repairs in a opportune fashion as well.

Emergency Plumber Ready

Burst Pipes Sorted Fast

From the small fresh water pipes in the walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your home are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We never even remember them until there is a problem.

Once there is an issue though, it’s the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you want it fixed immediately to prevent damage to your house, your furnishings and even your health.

As soon as a leak is identified, give us a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be with you quickly. We are ready to answer day or night. Before they get there, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce yet more flooding.

How did my pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can break down for many reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they could have frozen in extremely wintery weather and burst. Tree roots may have grown into underground joints. Or there may be an issue with how the pipes were set up in the first place.

Once the 24 hour plumber arrives, they will identify the problems and repair them in a expeitious and expert manner.

All Taps Covered

Taps Not Working?

Do you own a defective faucet? A tap that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a geyser impression?

We’ve seen an assortment of tap problems over the years, and we understand that even a little drip can sound like a woodpecker in the small hours when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a trivial aggravation, can all of a sudden be a serious plumbing emergency.

It’s not only frustrating drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you just want a washer, or an entire new faucet, our 24 hour plumbers have got what you need. All the vehicles are well equipped with parts and have a small choice of new taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we don’t have the tap you require, we can put in an interim faucet until we track down what you want.

As well as providing The Patch with emergency plumbing of all kinds, our team are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too extensive or minor.

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

Usually, a dripping faucet is caused by a dilapidated or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the type of faucet, we can usually replace dilapidated parts immediately for a very reasonable expenditure.
