Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ: After Hours 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.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have service valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff tap to stop all the water to the house.

Once that’s done, give our team a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be there shortly to resolve the problem.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important things close to the leak, and wipe up any water or place a container to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating 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.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps also.

Blocked Drains Solved

Our Howick 24 hour plumbers understand that a clogged pipe can be a serious health hazard that needs fixing asap. That’s why we provide our after hours plumbing service.

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

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Regardless of whether there is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.

In the rare case that we can not get the obstruction completely cleared or more extensive repairs are required, we 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.

Do not let a blocked pipe get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Leaks

We tend to do not think about how much you depend on easy quick hot water until it is not available anymore. Just finished in the garage and really need a shower? Want to finish up a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the tap and find it’s barely warm.

When the hot water isn’t up to standard, you want it working again as fast as possible. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.

Did you know around 30% of your household 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 residence and to items stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water catastrophies harm your wallet, get them fixed promptly.

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

If you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can help pick the best option for your budget, needs and area. If the whole hot water system requires upgrading, our plumbers can schedule to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved In No Time

From the small clean water pipes in the walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, the majority of the pipes in your residence are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even remember them until there’s an issue.

Ususally we don’t even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden you are standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be fixed as soon as possible, to prevent damage to your house, belongings and health.

As soon as a leak is found, give our team a ring, and our after hours plumbers will be on the road quickly. Our team are ready to answer 24/7. Before they get there, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to reduce further leaking.

Why did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes can break down and begin to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older residence, they might simply be aged and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have iced up and split. In a recently built residence, there could be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean joins could have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they are at your home, our 24 hour plumber will diagnose the issue and promptly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of your pipework if advised to check for other damage.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Tapware Issues Sorted

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

Many our clientelle over the years have mentioned how vexing it can be to have a dripping or broken tap. You may not even be aware of the drip during the daytime, but in the small hours when it’s echoing around your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it’s a major issue.

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking tap can raise the bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your residence, give us a ring.

Whether you simply want a washer, or a whole new faucet, our 24 hour plumbers have got what you need. All our vehicles are fully stocked with parts and have a modest choice of new taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we do not have the tap you want, we can install a temporary tap until we locate the style you need.

As well as serving Howick with after hours plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too great or little.

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

If the drip is not bad enough to need fixing right now, you can place a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to diminish the noise. Or knot some twine around the tap spout long enough to touch the base of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
