Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

Emergency 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.

Many appliances and fixtures have taps that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to cut off all water to your property.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We’ll be there as soon as we can to resolve the problem.

While you wait, start cleaning up any water, put a bucket to catch drips, and clear away valuable items from the area. If the property 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 bowl.

Blocked Drains Problems

We know a clogged pipe can be a serious problem. Whether it is the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged pipe is seldom a good thing. That’s why our team of emergency plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can be a major health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can fix it yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there speedily to get the pipes unclogged.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll arrive at your abode speedily to solve the problem. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the complication to prevent further damage and return with what is required 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.

Do not let a obstructed drain 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 Not Working

We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Time to put muddy kids in the bath? Need a good soak to warm up after a wintery day? Got a sink-full of of dishes to take care of? It is awkward to have a good clean up when the water is not hot.

If the hot water isn’t hot enough, you need it to be repaired as soon as possible. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of your home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your pocket very swiftly.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Howick emergency plumbers right away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your existing hot water cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our helpful team can assist in finding the best options for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also tired, our plumbers can arrange an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Solved Fast

From the small clean water pipes in the walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, most of the pipes in your residence are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You never even remember them until there’s a problem.

Normally we barely even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and suddenly you are standing in a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be repaired without delay, to prevent damage to your house, furnishings and well-being.

Our emergency plumbers are prepared to be there quickly, so call us as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can cut back further flooding by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if needed.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes can break down and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you live in an older home, they might simply be old and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework might have iced up and cracked. In a new house, there may be an issue with how they were installed. Underground seals may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our on call plumbers will diagnose and fix your broken pipes or leaks rapidly and expertly.

We Have You Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a troublesome faucet? A tap that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?

We’ve been called to all sorts of faucet problems over the years, and we understand that even a small drip can sound like a woodpecker in the small hours when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a inconsequential aggravation, can all of a sudden be a dire plumbing emergency.

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

Whether you want a whole replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional on call plumbers can rapidly find the issue and resolve it. Our plumbers even carry a small selection of taps and faucets in their van for you to select from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

As well as serving Howick with emergency plumbing of all kinds, we are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too great or little.

Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

If the drip is not aggravating enough to need fixing right now, you can put a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to dampen the racket. Alternatively knot a piece of string around the tap aerator sufficient to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
