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 there is water still leaking, turn off the isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main water valve for your home. If you’re unable to find a tap to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the residence to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once that’s sorted, give our plumber a call, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be with you rapidly to get things sorted.

While you wait, start cleaning up any water, place a container to catch drips, and remove significant items from the affected 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.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.

Blocked Drains Solved

We realise a obstructed drain can be a serious problem. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged pipe is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our team of emergency plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can be a serious health risk, especially when sewage is involved. Occasionally you can fix it yourself with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the drains cleared.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it’s a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get things flowing again.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the issue to minimise further damage and get back 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.

Don’t let a clogged drain ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Leaks

We normally take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning properly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Need a good soak to warm up following a wintery day? Have a pile of of dishes to deal with? It is a pain to have a good wash when the water is not hot.

When the hot water is not up to standard, you need it to be sorted as fast as possible. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can rapidly identify the issue and get it fixed.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about thiry percent of the average home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your pocket very swiftly.

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 your hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the old hot water cylinder is not able to be fixed, our friendly plumbers can help in identifying the best soutions for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also worn out, we can arrange an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Resolved In No Time

The pipes in your house are a largely unseen but very important part of daily activities. Large or little, underground, in the wall or the roof, they carry fresh water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.

Ususally you don’t even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and suddenly we are standing in a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be fixed as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your house, possessions and well-being.

When you identify a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our emergency plumbers immediately. We are waiting to help Howick residents right away. While you are waiting for us to arrive, it may be useful to turn off the water to the home.

How did my pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and start to leak for many reasons. If you reside in an older residence, they may simply be old and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have frozen and ruptured. In a recently built house, there could be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean connections might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they are at your home, our same day plumber will locate the problem and expeitiously fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipework if needed to look for other damage.

All Taps Handled

Tapware Leaks Sorted

Do you live with a troublesome tap? One that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up busted?

We have been called to all sorts of faucet problems over the years, and we understand that even a small drip can sound like elephants tapdancing in the wee hours when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a minor niggle, can suddenly become a major plumbing emergency.

As well as keeping the whole house awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s hot water. Don’t let the bills rise further, or maybe even cause damage to your residence, get hold of our same day plumber straight away.

Whether you simply need a washer, or an entire new tap, our same day plumbers have the parts that you need. All the vehicles are fully equipped with parts and carry a small choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if required. If we do not have the faucet you need, we can install a temporary tap until we track down the style you want.

As well as providing Howick with emergency plumbing of all kinds, our team are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too great or minor.

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

If the drip is not aggravating enough to need repairing right now, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to dampen the racket. Or knot some string around the faucet spout sufficient to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
