Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

FAQ Emergency Plumber

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 taps that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains shutoff tap to stop all water to your home.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be at your home as soon as we can to resolve the problem.

While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any significant items, clean up any water, and place a container to catch drips. You also should 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 Plumber Standing By

Blocked Drains Solved

Our The Patch urgent plumbers realise that a clogged pipe can be a serious health risk that needs fixing immediately. That’s why we provide our emergency plumbing service.

A blocked drain is a serious problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it yourself with a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it’s the laundry sink that will not drain, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across the yard, our urgent The Patch plumbers will quickly locate the obstruction and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that we can’t get the obstruction completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are needed, our team will find an interim solution to keep you going until our plumbers 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.

Do not let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Not Working

We often don’t realise how frequently we count upon effortless fast hot water until it is not available any longer. Just finished in the garden and really need a wash? Time to finish up a few dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and find it’s lukewarm.

If the hot water is not up to temperature, you want it to be working again asap. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it fixed.

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

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our The Patch emergency plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water 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 assist in picking the best option for your budget, requirements and area. If your whole hot water system needs improvements, we can arrange to do that in a opportune manner as well.

Emergency Plumbers Ready

Burst Pipes Solved In No Time

From the small fresh water pipes in your floor, walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your home are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even think of them until there is a problem.

As soon as you find a problem though, it is the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you want it fixed without delay to prevent damage to your residence, your contents and even your well-being.

Our emergency plumbers are prepared to be on the scene right away, so call our team as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can minimise further leaks by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if required.

How did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a range of reasons. They might simply be old and deteriorated. Or they could have iced up in very cold weather and ruptured. Tree roots may have forced open underground connections. Or there might be an issue with how they were set up to begin with.

Our urgent plumbers will identify and fix your burst pipes or leaks rapidly and cleanly.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Tapware Issues Sorted

Do you have a defective faucet? A tap that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a geyser?

Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping tap can be a serious irritation. Something that may go unnoticed in the hubbub of every day life suddenly sounds like elephants tap dancing in the middle of the night, ruining your shuteye.

It isn’t just aggravating drips though. Leaks may run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you need an entire new faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional urgent plumbers will efficiently identify the trouble and resolve it. Our plumbers even carry a modest choice of taps and faucets in their van to select from, or can install a temporary one if required.

As well as serving The Patch with emergency plumbing of all kinds, we are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too big or little.

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

Find a piece of twine of some kind, and tie it onto the tap spout so that it drapes down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the string and flow off quietly.
