Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Urgent 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.

If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest location and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the water main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.

Once that’s sorted, give our team a call, no matter what the day or time is. We will be there promptly to fix the leak.

In the meantime, start cleaning up any water, put a container to catch any drips, and remove important possessions from the area. If the house 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.

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

Blocked Drains Solved

When your drains are overflowing, you want help asap. Our urgent Howick plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging blocked pipes can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.

Blocked pipes can be a serious health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unblock it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there speedily to get the pipes unclogged.

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it is a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get things flowing once more.

In the rare instance that we can not get the obstruction completely cleared or more extensive repairs are required, we will find an interim solution to tide you over until our plumbers 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 Issues

We normally take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning properly. Time to put muddy kids in the shower? Deperately want a good soak to warm up following a long cold day? Got a pile of of dishes to finish off? It’s a pain to have a good clean when the water is cold.

When your hot water has fallen short, give our team a call. We will be there swiftly to identify the problem and fix it. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can sort them out and get you back to normal life.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around thiry percent of your home’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your pocket very quickly.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Howick urgent plumbers right 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 switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the old hot water cylinder is not fixable, our reliable team can help in identifying the best options for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, we can schedule improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Fixed Quick

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

As soon as you find an issue though, it’s the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you need it fixed immediately to prevent damage to your house, your possessions and even your health.

As soon as you find a leak or burst pipe, phone our urgent plumbers as soon as possible. Our team are waiting to help Howick residents right now. While you are waiting for our plumber to get there, it could be useful to turn off the water to the property.

How did the pipe fail?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps may fail. If you live in a cold location, they may have iced up and split. They may just be old and dilapidated. The pipes may not have been properly installed when the home was built. Tree roots can grow into underground joins.

Once they are at your home, our after hours plumber will identify the problem and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipes if advised to check for other issues.

All Tapware Handled

Taps Not Working?

Do you have a troublesome tap? A tap that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain defective?

We’ve been called to a range of faucet issues over the years, and know 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 insignificant irritant, can suddenly become a dire plumbing emergency.

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

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need in the vans to fix your leak. The team carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you require a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From large to small, our Howick urgent plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we offer a broad range of urgent and day to day plumbing services.

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

Usually, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or defective washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the type of tap, we can often replace dilapidated parts immediately for a very modest price.
