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.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main shutoff valve for your home. If you’re unable to locate the water valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the house to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Once that’s done, give our team a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We will be there rapidly to resolve the problem.

While waiting, clear away any important things close to the leak, and wipe up any water or put a bucket to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.

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 also.

Blocked Drains Hassles

We understand a blocked pipe can be a serious problem. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged pipe is seldom a good thing. That is why our crew of emergency plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

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

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Regardless of 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 everything flowing once more.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the problem to minimise further damage and return with what is needed 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 obstructed pipe get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Issues

You often do not realise how frequently you depend on effortless quick hot water until it isn’t available anymore. Just finished up in the garden and really need a shower? Want to finish off a pile of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the tap and discover it’s cold.

When your hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you want it working again quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it fixed fast so your life can get back to normal.

Did you know around 30% of the average home power bill is used for hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a lot of damage to your residence and to items stored in the hot water cupboard. Do not let hot water woes hurt your wallet, get them repaired quickly.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Papatoetoe emergency plumbers right away. We will get the hot water working again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our reliable team can assist in picking the best solution for your household requirements, budget and area. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and worn out, our plumbers can arrange for improvements at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Fast

From the small clean water pipes in the floor, walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even think of them until there is a problem.

Usually, you do not even think about their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s usually a significant issue that must be fixed urgently before the building, your possessions or even your health are damaged or ruined.

As soon as a leak is discovered, give our team a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We’re ready to answer day or night. Before they get there, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce yet more leaking.

How did my pipe burst?

Pipes can fail and start to leak for a variety of reasons. If you live in an older residence, they may simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have frozen and split. In a new home, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean seals could have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they arrive, our urgent plumber will diagnose the problem and expeitiously fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of the pipes if advised to check for other issues.

All Tapware Covered

Tap Leaks Fixed

Do you have a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether busted?

We have been called to all sorts of tap problems over the years, and we understand that even a small drip can sound like a woodpecker at 2am when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a trivial annoyance, can all of a sudden be a major plumbing emergency.

It’s not only aggravating drips though. Leaks may push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you simply want a washer, or a whole new faucet, our urgent plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vehicles are fully equipped with parts and carry a modest selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we do not have what you require, our plumber can put in an interim faucet until we locate what you want.

From big to small, our Papatoetoe emergency plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we offer a broad range of emergency and day to day plumbing services.

Why is my faucet dripping?

Find a length of twine of some type, and tie it around the tap aerator so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and trickle off quietly.
