Frequently Asked Questions - Important

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.

If there is water still leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main valve for your property. If you’re unable to find the tap to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the house to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

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

While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important possessions from the area, and mop up any water or place a container to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, 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.

It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Problems

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

A obstructed pipe is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unblock it with a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Whether there is a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.

In the rare instance that we can’t get the clog completely cleared or more extensive repairs are required, our team will find a temporary solution to tide you over until our plumbers 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.

Don’t let a clogged pipe get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Issues

We usually take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Need to put muddy kids in the shower? Need a good soak to defrost following a chilly day? Got a few of dishes to deal with? It is awkward to have a good wash up when the water is lukewarm.

When your hot water has fallen short, give our team a ring. We’ll be there swiftly to identify the problem and get it fixed. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can repair them and get you back to normal life.

Did you know around 30% of the average household power bill goes to 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 things stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water calamities damage your wallet, get them resolved as soon as possible.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our The Patch urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your 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 you need a new hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking the best solution for your budget, requirements and location. If the whole hot water system requires improvements, our plumbers can organise to do that in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Fast

From the little fresh water pipes in your walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We do not even think of them until there is a problem.

Usually, we don’t even remember their existence unless something goes drastically wrong. But when it does, it is a major issue that must be sorted urgently before the building, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

The moment a leak is identified, give our team a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We are ready to answer 24/7. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to prevent further flooding.

How did my pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a variety of reasons. They might simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they could have frozen in extremely wintery weather and cracked. Tree roots could have grown into subterranean seals. Or there could be a problem with how they were installed in the first place.

Once our on call plumber arrives, they will locate the problems and repair them in a expeitious and expert manner.

All Taps Covered

Tap Problems Sorted

Do you have a broken faucet? A tap that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing a fountain impression?

We have been called to all sorts of faucet issues over the years, and know that even a minor drip can sound like elephants tapdancing in the wee hours when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a inconsequential annoyance, can all of a sudden be a serious plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking faucet can send your bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot water. Do not waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your house, give us a ring.

Whether you just want a washer, or a whole new tap, our on call plumbers have the parts that you need. All the vans are fully equipped with parts and have a modest choice of new taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we do not have the faucet you want, our plumber can install a temporary tap until we find what you desire.

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

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

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