FAQ On Call Plumbers

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 an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff tap to cut off all the water to your property.

Once you have stopped the problem from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. They will be there promptly to solve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any significant items, wipe up any water, and position 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.

Blocked Drains Fixed

When your drains are overflowing, you need assistance quickly. Our on call The Patch plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging clogged pipes can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.

Clogged drains can be a major health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can fix it by yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive speedily to get the pipes cleared.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will be at your abode quickly to solve the problem. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

In the rare instance that we can not get the obstruction completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find a temporary solution to tide you over 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.

Do not let a clogged pipe 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 System Issues

You often do not realise how heavily you count upon easy quick hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished up in the garage and really need a shower? Want to finish off some dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s barely warm.

When the hot water has let you down, give us a ring. We’ll be there promptly to diagnose the issue and get it resolved. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can repair them and get you back to normal life.

Hot water leaks can swiftly send the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hiding in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired quickly, the cost can become more costly by the hour.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our The Patch on call plumbers immediately. We’ll get your 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 your old hot water cylinder is not able to be fixed, our friendly team can assist in picking the best soutions for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, our team can organise improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

From the little clean water pipes in the floor, walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your residence are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even remember them until there is a problem.

As soon as you find an issue though, it is the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be worrying stuff, and you want it repaired as soon as possible to prevent damage to your residence, your furnishings and even your health.

When you identify a leak or burst pipe, phone our on call plumbers asap. We are waiting to assist The Patch residents right away. Whilst waiting for our plumber to arrive, it could help to turn off the water to the property.

Why did my pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can break down for a range of reasons. The pipes might simply be old and deteriorated. Or they could have frozen in extremely wintery weather and ruptured. Tree roots might have forced open underground joints. Or there may be a problem with how they were set up in the first place.

Our urgent plumbers can identify and repair the burst pipes or leaks promptly and precisely.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you live with a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply busted?

We have seen all sorts of tap problems over the years, and we understand that even a minor drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums at night when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a inconsequential irritant, can suddenly become a dire plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound frustrating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can send the bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot tap. Do not waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your home, call us now.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need on hand to remedy your leak. We carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you need a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From on call plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too large or minor for our The Patch plumbers. Not only can we repair your leaking taps, we also offer a broad range of additional plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I stop them temporarily to get some peace and quiet?

If it’s not aggravating enough to warrant repairing right this moment, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to minimise the sound. Or knot a length of twine around the tap spout sufficient to touch the base of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
