Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

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 valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains tap to stop all water to your residence.

Once that is done, give our team a call, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be with you shortly to fix the leak.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important items, clean up any water, and position a bucket to catch any drips. You also should turn 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.

It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Issues

Our Howick after hours plumbers realise that a obstructed drain can be a serious health risk that needs fixing asap. That’s why we offer our emergency plumbing service.

A blocked pipe is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger. However if you can’t, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink will not empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will be at your home speedily to solve the problem. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we need available to repair almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that needs other equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are concluded.

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 drain get you down. Call us now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Leaks

We generally take having hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Need to put mucky kids in the shower? Want a good soak to defrost after a freezing day? Got a sink-full of of dishes to finish off? It’s a pain to have a proper wash up when the water is cold.

When the hot water has fallen short, give our team a call. We will be there swiftly to diagnose the problem and resolve it. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can repair them and get you back to normal life.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause serious damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of the usual household’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your wallet very rapidly.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Howick emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can help pick the best solution for your budget, requirements and area. If the whole hot water system requires upgrading, we can arrange to do that in a timely manner as well.

Emergency Plumbers Ready

Burst Pipes Fixed Promptly

From the small fresh water pipes in the walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your residence are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even remember them until there is an issue.

Often, people never even think about them unless something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s usually a major problem that must be sorted out immediately before the building, your furnishings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

As soon as you find a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our emergency plumbers immediately. We are waiting to help Howick residents right away. Whilst waiting for us to arrive, it may help to turn off the water to the property.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can fail for a variety of reasons. The pipes may simply be old and worn out. Or they could have frozen in very wintery weather and split. Tree roots may have invaded subterranean joints. Or there could be a problem with how the pipes were set up in the first place.

Our after hours plumbers can identify and fix the broken pipes or leaks quickly and efficiently.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you have a busted faucet? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a geyser?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping faucet can be a serious vexation. A little thing that may go unnoticed in the hurly burly of every day life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos at 2am, disturbing your sleep.

It isn’t just aggravating drips though. Leaks may run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you just need a washer, or an entire new tap, our after hours plumbers have got what you require. All our vehicles are well equipped with parts and have a small selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we do not have the faucet you want, our plumber can install a temporary tap until we locate the style you desire.

From large to small, our Howick emergency plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we provide a broad range of urgent and non-urgent plumbing services.

Why is my tap dripping?

Normally, a dripping faucet is caused by a dilapidated or faulty washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of tap, we can usually replace dilapidated parts on the spot for a very reasonable outlay.
