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.

If there is water still leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main water shutoff valve for your property. If you are unable to find the water valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your house to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Once that’s done, give us a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be there rapidly to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber, remove any significant items, clean up any water, and place a container to catch any drips. You should also 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.

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

Blocked Drains Problems

When your drains are overflowing, you want assistance straight away. Our emergency Papatoetoe plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging blocked pipes can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.

Clogged drains can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the problem yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need a professional there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

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

All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the issue to prevent further damage and get back 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 clogged drain ruin your day. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Not Working

Had a hard day at work and badly need a refreshing shower? Time to put the children into the bath? Have a few dishes to deal with? It’s seldom handy to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly realise that the water is barely warm.

When your hot water has fallen short, give us a ring. Our team will be there quickly to diagnose the problem and get it resolved. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can sort them out and get you back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of the average home’s power bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your pocket very rapidly.

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

If you do need a new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking the best solution for your budget, requirements and area. If the entire hot water system requires improvements, we can organise to do those repairs in a timely manner as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Fast

Large or small, hidden in the garden or in the floor, wall or ceiling, the pipes in your home are a concealed but important part of daily activities. They carry clean water to your home, and take dirty water and sewage out.

Once there is a problem though, it is the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you need it resolved immediately to prevent damage to your residence, your possessions and even your well-being.

Our emergency plumbers are prepared to get to you quickly, so call our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can cut back further flooding by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if required.

How did the pipe fail?

There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps can start to leak. If you reside in a cold climate, the pipes might have frozen and cracked. They might just be aged and past their use-by. The pipes may not have been installed properly in the first place. Tree roots may force open underground connections.

Once they arrive, our after hours plumber will locate the problem and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipes if required to check for other issues.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Taps Not Working?

Do you have a busted tap? One that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing a fountain impression?

We have seen an assortment of faucet issues over the years, and we understand that even a small drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink at night when you’re trying to sleep. What was a minor niggle, can all of a sudden be a drastic plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking tap 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 house, call our team now.

Whether you simply want a washer, or a whole replacement faucet, our after hours plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vans are fully equipped with parts and carry a small selection of new taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we don’t have what you require, our plumber can install a temporary faucet until we find what you desire.

As well as providing Papatoetoe with emergency plumbing of all types, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too large or small.

Why is my tap dripping?

Find a piece of twine of some type, and knot it onto the tap aerator so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and flow off quietly.
