Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Urgent Plumbers - 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 water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest service valve or at the mains tap outside. If you can’t locate the main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We will be at your home as soon as we can to save the day.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin cleaning up any water, place a bucket to catch drips, and clear away valuable possessions from the affected area. If the mains water is turned off, 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.

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

Blocked Drains Solved

Our The Patch same day plumbers understand that a obstructed drain can be a major health hazard that needs attending to as soon as possible. That’s why we provide our urgent plumbing service.

Blocked drains can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unclog it yourself with a plunger and a little know-how. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains unblocked.

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Whether it is a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the complication to minimise further damage and return with what is needed as soon as we can.

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

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Leaks

We normally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Time to put grubby kids in the shower? Deperately want a good soak to defrost after a chilly day? Got a few of dishes to finish off? It’s awkward to have a good clean up when the water is cold.

When the hot water has let you down, give our team a ring. Our plumbers will be there promptly to diagnose the issue and get it resolved. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can sort them out and get your life back to normal.

Did you know about 30% of your household electricity bill is used for hot water heating? A leak can suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a lot of damage to your residence and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Do not let hot water woes damage your pocket, get them repaired as fast as possible.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our The Patch urgent plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder isn’t fixable, our helpful team can assist in picking the most suitable solution for your household needs, budget and location. If your whole system is old and deteriorating, we can arrange for improvements at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Quick

From the little clean water pipes in your walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the ground, the majority of the pipes in your home are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even remember them until there’s an issue.

Once there is an issue though, it’s the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be worrying stuff, and you want it resolved asap to prevent damage to your house, your possessions and even your health.

Our urgent plumbers are set to get to you right away, so contact us as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further flooding by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if required.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes can break down and start to leak for many reasons. If you own an older house, they might simply be aged and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, they may have iced up and ruptured. In a newer house, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground junctions could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When our same day plumber is present, they will identify the problems and fix them in a quick and expert manner.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you live with a troublesome tap? A tap that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just busted?

We’ve been called to all sorts of tap issues over the years, and know that even a little drip can sound like a woodpecker at night when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a insignificant annoyance, can all of a sudden be a major plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise the bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot tap. Do not waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your home, give us a ring.

Whether you simply want a washer, or a whole new tap, our same day plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vans are well stocked with parts and carry a modest selection of new taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we don’t have what you need, we can put in an interim tap until we find the style you desire.

From urgent plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too large or little for our The Patch plumbers. Not only can we repair leaking taps, the team also provide a broad selection of other plumbing services.

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

If it is not aggravating enough to be worth fixing right this moment, you can place a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to dampen the sound. Or knot a piece of string around the tap aerator sufficient to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
