Frequently Asked Questions - Important

FAQ - Emergency Plumbers

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.

A lot of 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 tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff tap to stop all water to your home.

Once that’s done, give our plumber a call, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be there shortly to fix the leak.

While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important things, clean up any water, and put a bucket to catch any 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, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.

Blocked Drains Fixed

We realise a clogged drain can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked pipe is seldom a good thing. That is why our team of emergency plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

A obstructed pipe is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink will not empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will arrive at your home quickly to solve the issue. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

In the rare case that we can not get the obstruction completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, we will find an interim solution to keep you going until we 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 blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Problems

It’s been a hard day at work and desperately need a hot shower? Time to put the kids in the tub? Have a sink-full of dishes to finish up? It’s seldom convenient to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden discover that the water is tepid.

If the hot water isn’t up to standard, you need it to be sorted fast. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can rapidly identify the issue and get it resolved.

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

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Howick emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If you find 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 the cylinder is not fixable, our helpful team can help pick the best solution for your household requirements, budget and area. If the whole system is old and deteriorating, our plumbers can arrange for improvements at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Promptly

Large and little, hidden in the garden or in the floor, walls or roof, the pipes in your residence are a unseen but indispensible part of your everyday activities. They bring fresh water to your home, and transfer used water and sewage out.

Normally we never even think of them. Not until there’s a problem, and all of a sudden you are standing in a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be fixed as soon as possible, to prevent damage to your home, furnishings and well-being.

When you discover a leak or burst pipe, phone our emergency plumbers as soon as possible. Our team are waiting to help Howick residents right now. While you are waiting for us to arrive, it could be useful to turn off the water to the property.

Why did my pipe fail?

There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps might fail. If you live in a very cold location, the pipes might have frozen and split. They could simply be aged and past their use-by. They might not have been installed properly in the first place. Tree roots can invade subterranean seals.

When our urgent plumber arrives, they can identify the issues and repair them in a expeitious and professional manner.

All Tapware Covered

Tapware Issues Sorted

Do you live with a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether defective?

Over the years, we have found that even a dripping faucet can be a serious aggravation. Something that might go unheard in the brouhaha of daily life suddenly sounds like elephants tap dancing in the middle of the night, destroying your deams.

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

Whether you want an entire replacement tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional urgent plumbers will quickly identify the issue and solve it. Our plumbers even carry a small choice of taps and faucets on hand for you to pick from, or can install a temporary one if required.

From big to small, our Howick emergency plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we provide a wide range of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.

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

Usually, a dripping faucet is caused by a dilapidated or faulty washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of tap, we can often replace worn out parts right then and there for a very modest cost.
