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 tap to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main valve for your property. If you’re unable to find a water valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the residence to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once that is sorted, give us a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you rapidly to fix the leak.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start cleaning up any water, position a bucket to catch drips, and clear away important possessions from the area. If the mains 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.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

Blocked Drains Hassles

When your pipes are overflowing, you want assistance as soon as possible. Our emergency Howick plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging clogged pipes can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.

Blocked drains can be a serious health risk, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains cleared.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Whether there is a toy blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve 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.

Do not let a clogged drain get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Problems

We often don’t think about how frequently we rely upon effortless fast hot water until it is not available anymore. Just finished in the garden and really need a shower? Time to finish up a pile of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s barely warm.

When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you need it remedied quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it fixed as soon as possible so your life can get back to normal.

Hot water leaks can quickly put the power bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted quickly, the cost can become more expensive by the day.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Howick emergency plumbers right away. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder isn’t repairable, our helpful plumbers can assist in picking the most suitable option for your household needs, budget and location. If your whole system is aged and deteriorating, we can arrange for improvements at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved In No Time

Large and little, hidden under the ground or within the floor, wall or ceiling, the various pipes in your home are a unseen but integral part of daily activities. They bring clean water to your home, and take unclean water and sewage out.

Ususally you never even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly you are looking at a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it repaired as soon as possible, to prevent damage to your house, possessions and well-being.

As soon as a leak is identified, give us a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way quickly. We are ready to take your call day or night. Before they get there, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to prevent further flooding.

How did the pipe start leaking?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps might burst. If you reside in a very cold location, the pipes may have frozen and split. They may simply be aged and dilapidated. They might not have been installed properly when the home was built. Tree roots can force open subterranean pipes.

When they are at your home, our same day plumber will diagnose the issue and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipes if needed to check for other issues.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tap Issues Solved

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

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

It is not only annoying drips though. Leaks can push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you just need a washer, or a whole new tap, our same day plumbers have got what you need. All our vans are well stocked with parts and carry a modest choice of replacement taps and faucets to select from if required. If we do not have the tap you need, we can put in a temporary faucet until we find the style you want.

From big to small, our Howick emergency plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we offer a wide range of urgent and general plumbing services.

How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

Find a piece of string of some kind, and tie it around the tap aerator so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and trickle off quietly.
