Frequently Asked Questions - Important

Emergency 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.

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

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time of the day or night. We will be there as soon as possible to save the day.

While waiting for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant things, clean up any water, and put a bucket to catch drips. You also should 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.

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

Blocked Drains Issues

Our The Patch same day plumbers know that a blocked pipe can be a serious health hazard that needs fixing immediately. That is why we have our emergency plumbing service.

Blocked drains can be a serious health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unblock it on your own with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the drains cleared.

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

All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the issue to prevent further damage and get back with what is required 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 pipe send your day down the tubes. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Issues

We usually take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning properly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to defrost following a wintery day? Got some of dishes to finish off? It’s a pain to have a proper wash up when the water is cold.

When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you want it repaired quickly. 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 constantly overflowing, you need it hot again asap so your life can get back to normal.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around thiry percent of your home’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your pocket very swiftly.

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

If your cylinder is not repairable, our reliable team can assist in picking the best solution for your household requirements, budget and area. If your whole system is old and worn out, we can organise improvements at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Fast

From the small fresh water pipes in the floor, walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, the majority of the pipes in your home are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. You never even think of them until there’s an issue.

Once there is an issue though, it’s the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you need it repaired as soon as possible to prevent damage to your residence, your belongings and even your well-being.

Our emergency 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 minimise further damage by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if needed.

How did my pipe start leaking?

There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps can fail. If you reside in a very cold location, the pipes may have frozen and ruptured. They could simply be aged and dilapidated. They might not have been properly installed when the home was built. Tree roots can grow into underground pipes.

Once they are at your home, our same day plumber will diagnose the issue and promptly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipework if advised to check for other problems.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

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

A lot of customers over the years have told us how frustrating it can be to live with a dripping or broken tap. You might not even hear the drip during the day, but at night when it is resounding around the house like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it’s a serious issue.

It is not just irritating drips though. Leaks may run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you just need a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our same day plumbers have got what you require. All the vans are well equipped with parts and have a modest selection of new taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we don’t have the tap you want, our plumber can install a temporary faucet until we find the style you want.

From emergency plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too great or little for our The Patch plumbers. Not only can we fix the leaking taps, the team also offer a broad range of additional plumbing services.

Why is my faucet dripping?

If the drip is not annoying enough to warrant repairing right this moment, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to diminish the racket. Or tie some string around the tap spout long enough to rest on the base of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
