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.

If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest valve and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot locate the main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Once that is sorted, give our plumber a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be with you shortly to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber, remove any significant items, 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.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

Emergency Plumber Ready

Blocked Drains Hassles

Our The Patch same day plumbers understand that a obstructed drain can be a major health hazard that needs fixing as soon as possible. That’s why we offer our emergency plumbing service.

Clogged pipes can cause damage to your residence, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the issue yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Whether there is a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get things flowing again.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the complication to minimise 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.

Do not let blocked drains ruin your day. Call our same day The Patch emergency plumbing team right away!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Not Working

We usually take our hot water for granted, until it is not working correctly. Need to put muddy kids in the shower? Deperately want a good soak to warm up after a freezing day? Got a pile of of dishes to finish up? It is a pain to have a good wash when the water is cold.

When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you want it repaired quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or practically boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it remedied as soon as possible so you can get back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of the usual home’s power bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your pocket very swiftly.

When you find 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 working again quickly. If there is 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 new hot water cylinder, our team can help pick a suitable option for your budget, requirements and area. If your entire hot water system needs upgrading, our plumbers can arrange to do that in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Fast

From the small fresh water pipes in your walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, the majority of the pipes in your house are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. You never even remember them until there is a problem.

Ususally we don’t even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden you are looking at a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be resolved asap, to prevent damage to your residence, belongings and well-being.

As soon as a leak is discovered, give us a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We are waiting to take your call any time. Before they arrive, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to prevent further damage.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes can break down and begin to leak for many reasons. If you own an older residence, they may simply be old and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework may have iced up and ruptured. In a new home, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean seals could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When our same day plumber is present, they can locate the problems and repair them in a expeitious and professional manner.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Tapware Problems Resolved

Do you own a problematic tap? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just broken?

Many customers over the years have mentioned how irritating it can be to have a dripping or busted tap. You might not even notice the drip during the daytime, but at 3am when it is echoing throughout the house like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it is a sigificant problem.

It’s not only vexing drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s 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 tap, our same day plumbers have got what you require. All our vehicles are fully stocked with parts and carry a small selection of new taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we don’t have what you want, we can install a temporary faucet until we track down the style you desire.

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

Why is my faucet dripping?

Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of faucet, we can often replace worn out parts right then and there for a very modest price.
