FAQ - Urgent Plumbers

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 water to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main water shutoff valve for your home. If you are unable to locate a water valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the house to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Once that’s done, give our team a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be with you promptly to fix the leak.

While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any important things from the area, and mop up any water or place a bucket to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also 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.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Problems

When your pipes are overflowing, you need assistance asap. Our urgent Howick plumbers know how frustrating and damaging blocked pipes can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.

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

Whether it is the laundry sink that won’t drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our after hours Howick plumbers will efficiently identify the obstruction and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the issue to prevent further damage and return with what is needed as soon as we can.

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 blocked 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

You often don’t realise how heavily we depend upon effortless quick hot water until it is not there anymore. Just finished in the garage and really want a wash? Time to deal with a few dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the water and discover it’s lukewarm.

When the hot water is not hot enough, you want it to be sorted as soon as possible. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen everything and can quickly identify the problem and get it resolved.

Did you know about 30% of the average home electricity bill is used for hot water heating? A leak may suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a lot of damage to your house and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water catastrophies empty your pocket, get them fixed asap.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Howick urgent plumbers immediately. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. If there is 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 the old hot water cylinder is not able to be fixed, our helpful plumbers can assist in identifying the best options for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also worn out, our team can arrange an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Urgent Plumbers Ready

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

The pipes in your home are a normally unseen but indispensible part of your daily activities. Large or small, under the ground, in the wall or the roof or under the floor, they carry clean water to you and take the unclean stuff away.

Normally, we don’t even think about them unless something goes wrong. But when it does, it’s generally a major problem that needs to be sorted immediately before the building, your belongings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

Our urgent plumbers are set to be there right away, so contact our team as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further flooding by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if required.

Why did the pipe burst?

Pipes can break down and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you reside in an older home, they might simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have iced up and burst. In a newer home, there could be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean junctions might have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When the after hours plumber arrives, they will isolate the problems and fix them in a prompt and expert manner.

We Have You Covered

Tapware Leaks Resolved

Do you have a problematic faucet? A tap that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just defective?

We have been called to all sorts of tap issues over the years, and we understand that even a minor drip can sound like elephants tapdancing in the wee hours when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a inconsequential irritant, can suddenly become a drastic plumbing emergency.

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

Whether you just need a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our after hours plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vehicles are fully stocked with parts and carry a small choice of replacement taps and faucets to select from if required. If we do not have what you need, we can put in a temporary tap until we track down the style you want.

From large to small, our Howick urgent plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a wide range of emergency and day to day plumbing services.

Why is my faucet dripping?

Usually, a dripping faucet is caused by a dilapidated or faulty washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of faucet, we can frequently replace dilapidated parts on the spot for a very modest cost.
