Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ - Emergency Plumber

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 isolating valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains valve to stop all the water to your property.

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

In the meantime, start cleaning up any water, position a bucket to catch drips, and remove important things from the affected area. If the house water is turned off, 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.

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

Blocked Drains Solved

Our Karaka on call plumbers know that a obstructed pipe can be a major health hazard that needs attending to as soon as possible. That is why we have our emergency plumbing service.

A clogged drain is a major problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to see, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Whether there is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.

In the rare case that our plumbers can not get the clog completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are needed, we will find an interim solution to tide you over 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 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 Leaks

It’s been a hard day at work and badly need a nice warm shower? Time to put the kids into the bath? Have some dishes to finish up? It is seldom handy to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly discover that the water is cold.

When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it fixed promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it fixed quickly 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 often accounts for about 30% of your household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your pocket very rapidly.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Karaka emergency plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. 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 the cylinder isn’t fixable, our helpful team can help pick the best solution for your household needs, budget and area. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and worn out, we can schedule upgrades at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Fast

From the little fresh water pipes in your floor, walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, the majority of the pipes in your house are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We never even think of them until there is a problem.

Normally, you barely even remember them unless something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s generally a serious issue that needs to be sorted out urgently before your house, your possessions or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

The moment a leak is found, give our team a call, and our emergency plumbers will be with you quickly. Our team are ready to answer night or day. Before they arrive, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to minimise yet more flooding.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you own an older house, they might simply be aged and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework might have iced up and cracked. In a new residence, there might be an issue with how they were installed. Underground pipes could have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once our on call plumber arrives, they can identify the issues and repair them in a expeitious and expert manner.

All Taps Handled

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

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

Over the years, we have found that even a dripping faucet can be a serious irritation. A little thing that may go unnoticed in the hurly burly of every day life without warning sounds like someone practicing the drums in the middle of the night, disturbing your shuteye.

As well as keeping the everyone awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not let the bills rise even higher, or maybe even cause damage to your residence, get hold of our on call plumber right away.

Whether you simply want a washer, or an entire replacement tap, our on call plumbers have got what you require. All the vans are well equipped with parts and carry a small selection of new taps and faucets for you to select from if required. If we do not have the faucet you require, our plumber can install an interim faucet until we locate the style you want.

From emergency plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too large or minor for our Karaka plumbers. Not only can we fix your leaking taps, we also offer a broad range of additional plumbing services.

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

Find a length of twine of some type, and knot it around the faucet spout so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the string and trickle off quietly.
