FAQ - Urgent 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.

If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest isolating valve or at the mains valve outside. If you cannot find the main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem from worsening, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any time of the day or night. We will be there rapidly to resolve the problem.

In the meantime, start wiping up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away significant things from the affected area. If the house water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

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 behind the toilet.

Urgent Plumber Standing By

Blocked Drains Fixed

Our The Patch on call plumbers know that a obstructed drain can be a major health hazard that needs fixing asap. That is why we have our urgent plumbing service.

Obestructed drains can be a serious health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the pipes cleared.

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it’s a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.

In the rare instance that our plumbers can’t get the clog completely removed or more extensive repairs are required, we will find an interim solution to keep you going until our plumbers return.

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 clogged drains ruin your day. Ring our on call The Patch emergency plumbers now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Leaks

We normally take having hot water for granted, until it is not working correctly. Need to put grubby kids in the shower? Want a good soak to defrost following a wintery day? Have a pile of of dishes to finish off? It is difficult to have a proper wash when the water is cold.

When your hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you want it remedied fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it working again as soon as possible so your life can get back to normal.

Hot water leaks can quickly send the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hiding in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted as soon as possible, it can become more expensive by the day.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our The Patch urgent plumbers right away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you need a new hot water cylinder, our team can help pick a suitable solution for your budget, requirements and location. If your entire hot water system requires upgrading, our plumbers can arrange to do that in a opportune manner as well.

Urgent Plumbers Ready

Burst Pipes Resolved Quick

Large or small, buried in the ground or in the floor, wall or roof, the pipes in your residence are a concealed but key part of your daily activities. They carry clean water to your abode, and remove unclean water and sewage away.

Often, you don’t even recall them unless something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s a significant issue that needs to be resolved immediately before the building, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

As soon as a leak is found, give us a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on the road quickly. We’re waiting to answer any time. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise yet more flooding.

How did the pipe fail?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps might fail. If you live in a extremely cold location, they may have iced up and ruptured. They may just be aged and dilapidated. They may not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots can invade subterranean junctions.

Our on call plumbers will diagnose and repair your burst pipes or leaks rapidly and cleanly.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tapware Problems Fixed

Do you have a annoying faucet? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up broken?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping faucet can be a significant aggravation. A little thing that may go unheard in the hurly burly of daily life suddenly sounds like elephants tap dancing in the wee hours, ruining your sleep.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise your bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot water. Do not waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your house, call us now.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need on hand to resolve that leak. The team carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you require a new one, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From urgent plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too great or small for our The Patch plumbers. Not only can we fix the leaking taps, the team also provide a wide range of additional plumbing services.

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

If the drip is not annoying enough to warrant repairing right now, you can place a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to dampen the racket. Or tie some twine around the tap aerator sufficient to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
