Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Emergency 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 there is still water leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main shutoff valve for your property. If you are unable to find the main valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Once that’s sorted, give our plumber a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be there shortly to resolve the problem.

While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important things, clean up any water, and place a container to catch drips. You also should switch 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’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Fixed

Our Howick same day plumbers realise that a obstructed pipe can be a major health hazard that needs fixing immediately. That’s why we have our emergency plumbing service.

A obstructed pipe is a major predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it by yourself using a plunger. But if you can not, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

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

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the problem to prevent further damage and get back with what is required as soon as we can.

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

We usually take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to warm up following a chilly day? Got a few of dishes to take care of? It is awkward to have a proper clean when the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you need it sorted quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is luke warm or boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it remedied fast so your life can get back to normal.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of your home’s power bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your pocket very swiftly.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Howick emergency plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water flowing 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 you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking the best option for your budget, requirements and location. If your entire hot water system needs improvements, we can schedule to do that in a timely fashion as well.

How did my pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for various reasons. The pipes might simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they could have iced up in very frigid weather and burst. Tree roots may have forced open underground seals. Or there could be a problem with how they were installed in the first place.

Our same day plumbers can diagnose and repair the broken pipes or leaks speedily and expertly.

We Have You Covered

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you own a troublesome faucet? One that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a geyser?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a significant annoyance. A little thing that can go unnoticed in the brouhaha of every day life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos in the middle of the night, disturbing your deams.

Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking faucet can send the bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your residence, call us now.

Whether you require an entire replacement faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional same day plumbers can efficiently find the issue and resolve it. We even carry a modest choice of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can install a temporary one if required.

From emergency plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too great or small for our Howick plumbers. Not only can we fix the leaking taps, we can also offer a wide selection of other plumbing services.

How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?

Find a piece of string of some type, and knot it onto the tap aerator so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the string and dribble off quietly.
