Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ - Urgent 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.

Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains valve to stop all the water to your property.

Once that is sorted, give our plumber a call, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be with you rapidly to fix the leak.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important things, wipe up any water, and place a bucket to catch 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 bowl.

Blocked Drains Issues

Our The Patch on call plumbers realise that a blocked pipe can be a serious health risk that needs fixing right away. That is why we offer our urgent plumbing service.

Blocked pipes can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the problem yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, 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 rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the issue to prevent further damage and get back with what is needed 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.

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

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Not Working

You regularly do not realise how much you rely on effortless quick hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished up in the garden and really want a shower? Want to finish up a few dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s barely warm.

When the hot water is not up to standard, you need it repaired quickly. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it fixed.

Did you know around thiry percent of the average household power bill goes to hot water heating? A leak may suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a considerable amount of damage to your house and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Do not let hot water calamities damage your pocket, get them fixed quickly.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our The Patch urgent plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a lot 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 replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking the best solution for your budget, requirements and area. If your whole hot water system requires improvements, our plumbers can organise to do that in a timely manner as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Quick

The pipes in your residence are a normally unseen but very important part of your everyday life. Large or little, subterranean, within the wall or the roof or under the floor, they carry fresh water to your home and take the used stuff away.

Once there is a problem though, it’s the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you need it fixed without delay to prevent damage to your residence, your contents and even your health.

Our urgent plumbers are prepared to get to you quickly, so ring our plumbers as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can minimise further flooding by turning the water off at the mains tap if needed.

How did my pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can fail for a variety of reasons. They might simply be old and deteriorated. Or they may have iced up in very frigid weather and ruptured. Tree roots may have invaded underground connections. Or there could be an issue with how they were set up in the first place.

Once the on call plumber is present, they will isolate the issues and repair them in a speedy and expert manner.

We Have You Covered

Tap Issues Solved

Do you own a broken tap? A tap that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?

We have seen an assortment of faucet problems over the years, and know that even a tiny drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums in the small hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a minor annoyance, can all of a sudden be a serious plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise the bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot tap. Don’t waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your house, call our team now.

Whether you require an entire new faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our specialist on call plumbers will quickly diagnose the problem and fix it. We even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets in their van for you to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

As well as providing The Patch with urgent plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too big or small.

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

If it’s not bad enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to minimise the sound. Alternatively knot a length of string around the faucet spout sufficient to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
