Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ: On Call 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.

If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest service valve or at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.

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

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any significant things, clean 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 called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

On Call Plumber Ready

Blocked Drains Fixed

When your pipes are overflowing, you need assistance right now. Our on call The Patch plumbers know how frustrating and damaging blocked pipes can be, and we are ready to get them flowing again.

A clogged drain is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it using a plunger. But if you can not, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it’s the ensuite sink that won’t empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our emergency The Patch plumbers will efficiently identify the obstruction and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vans, we have all we require on hand to repair almost all drain blockages right away. If there is an underlying issue that needs other equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are completed.

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 blocked pipes ruin your day. Call our emergency The Patch emergency plumbing team now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Leaks

We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it is not working correctly. Need to put muddy kids in the bath? Need a good soak to warm up after a long cold day? Got some of dishes to finish up? It is awkward to have a proper clean up when the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water has fallen short, give us a call. We will be there quickly to identify the issue and get it fixed. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can repair them and get your life back to normal.

Did you know around 30% of the average household power bill powers the hot water heating? A leak may suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a lot of damage to your residence and to items stored in the hot water cupboard. Do not let hot water problems hurt your wallet, get them repaired as soon as possible.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our The Patch on call plumbers straight away. We will get the hot water working again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder isn’t repairable, our professional team can help pick the most suitable option for your household requirements, budget and area. If the whole system is tired and deteriorating, we can arrange for repairs at a time that works for you as well.

On Call Plumber Standing By

Burst Pipes Resolved In No Time

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

Normally, you don’t even remember their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is a serious issue that must be resolved immediately before your house, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

The moment a leak is identified, give our team a ring, and our on call plumbers will be with you rapidly. Our team are ready to take your call any time. Before they get there, it could be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to reduce further leaking.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can break down for various reasons. The pipes might simply be old and worn out. Or they may have iced up in very wintery weather and burst. Tree roots might have invaded underground connections. Or there may be a problem with how the pipes were set up in the first place.

Once the emergency plumber is present, they can locate the problems and repair them in a speedy and expert manner.

All Tapware Covered

Tapware Leaks Solved

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

Many our clientelle over the years have mentioned how irritating it is to live with a dripping or broken tap. You may not even be aware of the drip during the daytime, but at 3am when it’s echoing throughout your home like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it’s a sigificant issue.

It is not just frustrating drips though. Leaks can push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you simply need a washer, or an entire replacement faucet, our emergency plumbers have got what you need. All our vans are well stocked with parts and have a modest choice of replacement taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we don’t have the tap you want, our plumber can put in an interim tap until we track down what you desire.

From big to small, our The Patch on call plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a wide selection of urgent and non-urgent plumbing services.

Why is my tap dripping?

Normally, a dripping faucet is caused by a dilapidated or faulty washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of faucet, we can usually replace worn out parts on the spot for a very reasonable cost.
