Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Urgent 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.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have service valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff valve to stop all the water to your home.

Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there quickly to solve the issue.

While waiting, remove any important possessions from the area, and clean up any water or put a container to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.

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, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.

When your pipes are overflowing, you want assistance as soon as possible. Our urgent The Patch plumbers know how disheartening and damaging blocked pipes can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.

Clogged drains can cause damage to your residence, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the issue yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need someone there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink will not empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we’ll arrive at your home rapidly to resolve the problem. Our experienced 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 clog completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, we 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 drain get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is luke warm or practically boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it hot again as fast as possible so you can get back to normal life.

Did you know about thiry percent of the average household electricity bill is used for hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a considerable amount of damage to your residence and to items stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water problems empty your pocket, get them fixed as fast as possible.

Burst Pipes Sorted In No Time

The pipes in your house are a normally concealed but vital part of your daily life. Large and small, in the ground, within the wall or the roof or under the floor, they carry fresh water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.

Normally, people do not even think about their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s a major issue that needs to be resolved urgently before your house, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

The moment a leak is discovered, give us a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on the road rapidly. We’re waiting to answer any time. Before they arrive, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to prevent yet more flooding.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and start to leak for many reasons. If you reside in an older house, they might simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, they might have frozen and split. In a new house, there may be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean seals might have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once our on call plumber arrives, they can identify the issues and fix them in a speedy and expert manner.

All Taps Handled

Tap Issues Fixed

Do you have a faucet that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply defective?

We have been called to a range of faucet problems over the years, and know that even a small drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink at 2am when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a minor irritant, can suddenly become a dire plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can send the bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your residence, call us now.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need on hand to halt your leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you require a new one, or can install a temporary one if required.

From large to small, our The Patch urgent plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we offer a wide range of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.

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

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