On Call 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 there is still water leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main water shutoff valve for your property. If you’re unable to find the main valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the home to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Once that is done, give us a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We will be there shortly to get things sorted.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any significant items, wipe up any water, and place a container to catch any drips. You should also 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.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.

Blocked Drains Fixed

Our The Patch after hours plumbers understand that a obstructed pipe can be a major health hazard that needs fixing immediately. That’s why we have our on call plumbing service.

A clogged pipe is a serious problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it yourself using 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 wish to see, or smell!

Whether it is the kitchen sink that will not clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our after hours The Patch plumbers will efficiently locate the obstruction and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare case that we can’t get the clog completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, our team will find a temporary solution to tide you over 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.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Leaks

We tend to take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning properly. Need to put mucky kids in the shower? Need a good soak to defrost after a freezing day? Got a sink-full of of dishes to deal with? It is awkward to have a proper wash up when the water is cold.

If the hot water isn’t up to temperature, you want it remedied quickly. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.

Hot water leaks can swiftly put your power bill through the roof. Leaks undetected in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired as soon as possible, the cost will become more expensive by the hour.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our The Patch on call plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you do need a new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick the best option for your budget, needs and area. If your entire hot water system requires upgrading, our plumbers can schedule to do those repairs in a opportune manner as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted In No Time

Large and small, buried subterranean or within the floor, walls or roof, the various pipes in your home are a unseen but significant part of your daily life. They carry clean water to your house, and remove used water and sewage away.

Normally, you barely even think about them until something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is generally a major issue that must be resolved immediately before the building, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

The moment a leak is discovered, give us a call, and our on call plumbers will be with you quickly. We’re ready to answer day or night. Before they get there, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to prevent yet more flooding.

How did my pipe fail?

There are a variety reasons why pipes and taps can fail. If you reside in a very cold region, the pipes might have frozen and split. They could simply be old and dilapidated. The pipes may not have been properly installed in the first place. Tree roots may invade underground connections.

Once they arrive, our after hours plumber will locate the issue and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of the pipework if required to look for other problems.

We Have You Covered

Tap Leaks Sorted

Do you live with a troublesome tap? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright busted?

Many our clientelle over the years have mentioned how vexing it is to have a dripping or busted faucet. You may not even notice the drip during the day, but at 3am when it is reverberating around the house like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it’s a serious problem.

As well as keeping the whole house awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t let the bills increase more, or maybe even cause damage to your residence, contact our after hours plumber straight away.

Whether you just need a washer, or an entire new tap, our after hours plumbers have got what you require. All the vehicles are well equipped with parts and have a modest choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we do not have the faucet you need, our plumber can install an interim tap until we find the style you need.

As well as providing The Patch with on call plumbing of all kinds, our team are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too extensive or minor.

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

Find a piece of string of some kind, and tie it onto the tap aerator so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and trickle off quietly.
