Emergency Plumbers 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 still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest access point and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.

Once that’s sorted, give our team a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We will be there rapidly to get things sorted.

While you wait for our emergency plumber, remove any important things, mop up any water, and position a container to catch drips. You also should turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

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.

Emergency Plumber Standing By

Blocked Drains Fixed

We understand a clogged pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it is the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is never a good thing. That is why our crew of emergency plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.

A blocked drain is a major predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to see, or smell!

Whether it’s the bathroom sink that will not empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your garden, our same day Howick plumbers will efficiently identify the obstruction and clear it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare case that our plumbers can not get the blockage completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find a temporary solution to get you through until we 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 a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Issues

We tend to take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Time to put muddy kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to warm up after a chilly day? Have some of dishes to finish up? It is awkward to have a good wash when the water is not hot.

When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it fixed fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it repaired asap so your life can get back to normal.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of your home’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your wallet very quickly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Howick emergency plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water flowing again promptly. If you find 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 your old hot water cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our helpful team can help in picking the best options for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also worn out, our team can organise improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Sorted Fast

From the little fresh water pipes in your walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the ground, the majority of the pipes in your house are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even remember them until there’s a problem.

Usually, people don’t even remember them until something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s a serious problem that must be sorted urgently before the building, your possessions or even your health are damaged or ruined.

The moment a leak is discovered, give us a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be on the road quickly. We are waiting to answer 24/7. Before they get there, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to minimise further damage.

How did my pipe burst?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older home, they might simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, they may have iced up and ruptured. In a newer house, there could be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean pipes could have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they are at your home, our same day plumber will identify the problem and quickly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of the pipes if needed to check for other problems.

We Have You Covered

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you have a annoying faucet? One that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just broken?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a major vexation. Something that can go unheard in the brouhaha of daily life without warning sounds like someone practicing the drums in the wee hours, ruining your sleep.

Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate your bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your home, call our team now.

Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our same day plumbers have got what you need. All the vehicles are well equipped with parts and carry a small selection of replacement taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we don’t have the faucet you need, our plumber can put in an interim faucet until we track down the style you desire.

As well as serving Howick with emergency plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too extensive or little.

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

Find a piece of twine of some kind, and knot it onto the faucet aerator so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and flow off quietly.
