Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ - Emergency 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.

Many appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff valve to stop all the water to the residence.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We will be there as soon as possible to resolve the problem.

In the meantime, begin wiping up any water, position a bucket to catch drips, and clear away important items from the area. If the mains water is turned off, then 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 behind the toilet.

Blocked Drains Solved

We understand a clogged pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged pipe is seldom a good thing. That’s why our crew of emergency plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.

Blocked drains can be a major health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unclog it on your own with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains unblocked.

Whether it is the kitchen sink that won’t drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across your yard, our urgent Howick plumbers will quickly identify the obstruction and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that our plumbers can not get the clog completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, we will find an interim solution to get you through 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 clogged drains ruin your day. Call our urgent Howick emergency plumbing team right away!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Leaks

Had a hard day at work and desperately need a nice warm shower? Time to put the kids into the bath? Have a few dishes to deal with? It is rarely handy to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden discover that the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water isn’t hot enough, you need it to be working again quickly. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen everything and can quickly diagnose the problem and get it fixed.

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

When 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 the hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your existing hot water cylinder isn’t fixable, our reliable plumbers can help in finding the best soutions for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, we can organise improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Resolved Quick

From the little clean water pipes in the floor, walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even think of them until there’s an issue.

Once there is an issue though, it is the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be worrying stuff, and you want it resolved immediately to prevent damage to your house, your belongings and even your well-being.

The moment a leak is found, give our team a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be with you rapidly. We are waiting to answer day or night. Before they get there, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to prevent yet more flooding.

Why did my pipe fail?

There are a variety reasons why pipes and taps may fail. If you reside in a very cold location, they might have iced up and ruptured. They could simply be old and past their use-by. They may not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots can invade underground connections.

Our urgent plumbers will identify and fix your damaged pipes or leaks speedily and expertly.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Tapware Issues Sorted

Do you live with a problematic tap? One that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just defective?

We have seen an assortment of tap issues over the years, and we understand that even a minor drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink in the small hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a insignificant annoyance, can all of a sudden be a drastic plumbing emergency.

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

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need in the vans to fix that leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you need a replacement, or can install a temporary one if needed.

As well as serving Howick with emergency plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too big or small.

Why is my tap dripping?

If the drip is not bad enough to warrant fixing right this moment, you can place a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to minimise the sound. Or knot a length of twine around the tap aerator long enough to touch the base of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
