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 still water leaking, turn off the tap 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 main valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. They will be there promptly to resolve the issue.

While waiting, clear away any significant possessions close to the leak, and wipe up any water or position a container to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water 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.

It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Issues

We realise a clogged pipe can be a serious problem. Whether it is the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That is why our team of emergency plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unblock it on your own with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the drains cleared.

Whether it is the bathroom sink that will not empty, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our after hours Howick plumbers will efficiently locate the issue and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that we can not get the obstruction completely removed or more extensive repairs are needed, we will find an interim solution to get you through 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 clogged drains ruin your day. Ring our after hours Howick emergency plumbing team now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Problems

We normally take having hot water for granted, until it is not working properly. Time to put grubby kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to warm up after a long cold day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to take care of? It’s awkward to have a good clean up when the water is not hot.

When your hot water has fallen short, give our team a call. We’ll be there promptly to diagnose the problem and resolve it. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can repair them and get you back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about thiry percent of the average household’s power bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your pocket very rapidly.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Howick emergency plumbers immediately. We will get your hot water working 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 existing hot water cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our reliable plumbers can assist in identifying the best options for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also tired, our plumbers can arrange improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Fixed Fast

From the little fresh water pipes in the floor, walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your home are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. You never even think of them until there’s an issue.

Ususally you do not even think of them. Not until there’s a problem, and all of a sudden you’re standing in a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be fixed asap, to prevent damage to your home, possessions and health.

Our emergency plumbers are ready to be on the scene quickly, so contact our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can cut back further damage by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if needed.

Why did the pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can fail for a variety of reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they could have iced up in very frigid weather and burst. Tree roots may have grown into subterranean seals. Or there may be an issue with how they were set up in the first place.

Once they arrive, our after hours plumber will locate the problem and quickly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipes if needed to check for other issues.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you live with a troublesome tap? One that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright defective?

A lot of clients over the years have mentioned how aggravating it is to live with a dripping or busted tap. You might not even be aware of the drip during the day, but at night when it’s reverberating around your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it’s a sigificant problem.

It isn’t just frustrating drips though. Leaks may push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, 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.

Whether you simply want a washer, or a whole new tap, our after hours plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vehicles are fully equipped with parts and have a small selection of new 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 track down the style you want.

As well as providing Howick with emergency plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too large or too small.

Why is my tap dripping?

If it’s not annoying enough to warrant fixing right now, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to minimise the sound. Or knot some twine around the tap aerator long enough to touch the bottom of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
