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 isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main water valve for your property. If you’re unable to find the water valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your house to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to resolve the problem.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant things close to the leak, and mop up any water or place a bucket to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also 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.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

Blocked Drains Problems

When your pipes are overflowing, you want assistance right now. Our emergency Howick plumbers understand how disheartening and damaging blocked drains can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.

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

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Whether it is a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get things flowing again.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we need available to fix almost all drain blockages right away. If there is an underlying problem that needs other equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are finished.

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 get you down. Call us now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Problems

Had a hard day at work and desperately want a refreshing shower? Time to put the kids into the tub? Got a pile of dishes to take care of? It is never convenient to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly discover that the water is tepid.

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

Did you know around 30% of the average household electricity bill powers the hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a considerable amount of damage to your house and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Do not let hot water woes damage your pocket, get them resolved fast.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Howick emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a large amount 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 new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick the best solution for your budget, requirements and location. If the entire hot water system requires upgrading, our plumbers can schedule to do those repairs in a opportune manner as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

Large and little, buried in the earth or within the floor, walls or roof, the various pipes in your home are a concealed but indispensible part of daily activities. They bring fresh water to your home, and transfer dirty water and sewage away.

Most of the time you never even think about them. Not until something goes wrong, and suddenly we are standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it repaired immediately, to prevent damage to your residence, possessions and health.

Our emergency plumbers are ready to get to you right away, so call our team as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if needed.

How did the pipe fail?

There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps may fail. If you reside in a extremely cold region, they may have frozen and ruptured. They may just be old and past their use-by. They might not have been properly installed in the first place. Tree roots may invade subterranean connections.

When they arrive, our urgent plumber will locate the issue and promptly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of the pipes if needed to look for other issues.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you live with a irksome 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 irritating it can be to have a dripping or busted faucet. You might not even be aware of the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it’s reverberating throughout your home like someone practicing the drums, suddenly it is a serious problem.

It is not just annoying drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need on hand to resolve that leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you require a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From emergency plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too great or little for our Howick plumbers. Not only can we repair leaking taps, the team can also offer a broad selection of additional plumbing services.

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

Find a length of string of some type, and tie it around the tap aerator so that it drapes down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the twine and trickle off quietly.
