Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

After Hours Plumber: 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 leaking, turn the water off at the nearest location and then at the mains tap outside. If you can’t find the water main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We’ll be at your place as soon as we can to save the day.

While you wait, start mopping up any water, place a container to catch any drips, and clear away significant possessions from the affected 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 bowl.

Blocked Drains Problems

Our Howick 24 hour plumbers realise that a obstructed pipe can be a serious health risk that needs attending to immediately. That is why we have our after hours plumbing service.

A obstructed pipe is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it yourself with a plunger. However if you can’t, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to see, or smell!

Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink will not drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will arrive at your home quickly to resolve the problem. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

In the rare case that we can not get the clog completely cleared or more extensive repairs are required, our team will find an interim solution to keep you going until we return.

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 System Leaks

We usually take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Need to put mucky kids in the bath? Want a good soak to defrost after a freezing day? Got a pile of of dishes to take care of? It’s awkward to have a proper clean when the water is not hot.

When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you want it repaired 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 want it working again as soon as possible so you can get back to normal life.

Did you know about 30% of your household electricity bill is used for hot water heating? A leak can suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a considerable amount of damage to your residence and to items stored nearby. Don’t let hot water catastrophies hurt your pocket, get them repaired speedily.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Howick after hours 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 your existing hot water cylinder is not repairable, our friendly plumbers can assist in picking the best options for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, our plumbers can organise an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Resolved In No Time

From the little clean water pipes in your walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes in the ground, most of the pipes in your residence are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even think of them until there is an issue.

Often, we never even remember their existence unless something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it is usually a serious problem that needs to be resolved immediately before the building, your belongings or even your health are damaged or ruined.

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

Why did my pipe burst?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps might break down. If you live in a very cold location, the pipes may have iced up and cracked. They may simply be aged and worn out. They may not have been properly installed when the home was built. Tree roots can force open subterranean joins.

Our 24 hour plumbers will diagnose and repair the burst pipes or leaks rapidly and efficiently.

All Tapware Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

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

Many clients over the years have told us how irritating it is to have a dripping or busted tap. You might not even hear the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it’s echoing around your home like someone practicing the drums, suddenly it’s a major problem.

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking tap can send your bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot tap. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your residence, give us a ring.

Whether you simply want a washer, or a whole replacement faucet, our 24 hour plumbers have got what you require. All the vans are fully stocked with parts and have a small choice of new taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we don’t have the faucet you need, our plumber can put in a temporary faucet until we locate what you want.

From after hours plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too big or small for our Howick plumbers. Not only can we repair leaking taps, the team can also offer a broad range of additional plumbing services.

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

Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a dilapidated or faulty washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of tap, we can often replace worn out parts on the spot for a very modest expenditure.
