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.

If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest isolating valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t locate the water main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Once that is done, give our team a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you rapidly to resolve the problem.

In the meantime, begin wiping up any water, put a container to catch any drips, and remove significant items from the affected area. If the property water is turned off, 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.

It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Solved

When your drains are overflowing, you need assistance as soon as possible. Our emergency Howick plumbers understand how overwhelming and damaging clogged pipes can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.

A obstructed drain is a major problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it by yourself using a plunger. But if you can not, you need assistance rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to see, or smell!

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

All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the issue to prevent further damage and return with what is required as soon as possible.

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 blocked pipes ruin your day. Call our after hours Howick emergency plumbing team right away!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Leaks

We generally don’t think about how frequently you count upon easy quick hot water until it isn’t available anymore. Just finished up in the garden and really need a wash? Need to finish off some dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the water and find it’s tepid.

When your hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you need it working again quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it hot again as fast as possible so your life can get back to normal.

Did you know around thiry percent of the average household electricity bill powers the hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a lot of damage to your home and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water calamities harm your pocket, get them fixed as soon as possible.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Howick emergency plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a lot 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 new hot water cylinder, our team can help pick the best option for your budget, needs and area. If the whole hot water system needs improvements, our plumbers can arrange to do that in a opportune manner as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

From the small clean water pipes in your floor, walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your residence are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. We never even remember them until there’s an issue.

Normally, you barely even remember their existence until something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s generally a significant issue that needs to be sorted out immediately before your home, your possessions or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

When you identify a leak or burst pipe, phone our emergency plumbers without delay. We are waiting to help Howick residents right away. While you are waiting for us to get there, it could be useful to turn off the water to the property.

Why did the pipe fail?

There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps may break down. If you live in a very cold region, the pipes may have iced up and split. They could just be old and dilapidated. They might not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots may force open underground junctions.

When the after hours plumber arrives, they will isolate the issues and repair them in a quick and expert manner.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tap Issues Resolved

Do you own a problem faucet? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain busted?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping faucet can be a major vexation. Something that may go unnoticed in the brouhaha of daily life without warning sounds like elephants tap dancing in the middle of the night, destroying your deams.

It’s not only aggravating drips though. Leaks may push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you just want a washer, or a whole new tap, our after hours plumbers have got what you need. All the vehicles are well stocked with parts and have a small choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if required. If we don’t have the faucet you need, we can install a temporary faucet until we find the style you desire.

As well as providing Howick with emergency plumbing of all types, we are available for general maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too large or too small.

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

Normally, a dripping faucet is caused by a worn out or defective washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of faucet, we can usually replace dilapidated parts on the spot for a very modest cost.
