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 water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest access point and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot find the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once that’s done, give us a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We will be there promptly to get things sorted.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important items from the area, and wipe up any water or put a container to catch any drips. If you turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water 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.

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

Blocked Drains Hassles

When your drains are overflowing, you want help quickly. Our emergency Karaka plumbers know how disheartening and damaging clogged drains can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.

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

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 same day Karaka plumbers will efficiently identify the issue and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare case that our plumbers can’t get the blockage completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are required, we will find an interim solution to get you through until our plumbers come back.

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 ruin your day. Call us now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Not Working

We regularly do not realise how frequently you rely upon effortless quick hot water until it is not available any longer. Just finished in the garage and really want a shower? Want to deal with a few dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and find it’s lukewarm.

When the hot water has fallen short, give us a ring. We’ll be there swiftly to figure out the problem and find a solution. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can repair them and get your life back to normal.

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

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Karaka emergency plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. 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 your old hot water cylinder isn’t fixable, our professional plumbers can help in picking the best soutions for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, our plumbers can arrange an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Fixed In No Time

The pipes in your residence are a generally hidden but integral part of everyday life. Large or little, in the ground, within the walls or the ceiling, they carry fresh water to your home and take the used stuff away.

As soon as you find an issue though, it is the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you want it repaired immediately to prevent damage to your residence, your contents and even your health.

Our emergency plumbers are prepared to get to you quickly, so ring our plumbers as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can minimise further flooding by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if required.

Why did the pipe burst?

Pipes can deteriorate and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older home, they might simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have iced up and split. In a newer house, there could be an issue with how they were installed. Underground joins may have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When they are at your home, our same day plumber will identify the problem and quickly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of the pipes if needed to check for other problems.

We Have You Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you live with a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether broken?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping tap can be a major annoyance. Something that may go unheard in the brouhaha of every day life suddenly sounds like elephants tap dancing in the middle of the night, ruining your shuteye.

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking tap can send the bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot water. Do not waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your residence, give us a ring.

Whether you just want a washer, or an entire new tap, our same day plumbers have got what you need. All the vans are fully equipped with parts and carry a modest selection of replacement taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we don’t have the tap you want, our plumber can install an interim faucet until we track down the style you need.

As well as providing Karaka with emergency plumbing of all kinds, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too large or small.

How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?

If it is not annoying enough to need fixing right this moment, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to dampen the racket. Or tie a piece of twine around the tap spout long enough to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
