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 still water leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main valve for your property. If you’re unable to find the water valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once that is sorted, give us a call, no matter what the day or time is. We will be there shortly to fix the leak.

While waiting, remove any significant items close to the leak, and mop up any water or position a bucket to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, 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.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Fixed

We know a blocked drain can be a serious emergency. Whether it is the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked pipe is never a good thing. That is why our team of emergency plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.

Clogged drains can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the clog yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need someone there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether it’s the ensuite sink that will not empty, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our after hours Papakura plumbers will efficiently identify the obstruction and clear it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we require on hand to fix almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying issue that requires other equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are finished.

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 obstructed pipes ruin your day. Ring our after hours Papakura emergency plumbing team now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Leaks

You regularly don’t realise how much you rely on easy fast hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished up in the garden and really need a wash? Want to deal with a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and find it’s tepid.

When the hot water is not up to temperature, you need it to be repaired fast. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen everything and can quickly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause major damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about thiry percent of your household’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your wallet very swiftly.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Papakura emergency plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our reliable plumbers can assist in picking the best solution for your household needs, budget and area. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and worn out, we can schedule improvements at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted In No Time

Big or little, hidden in the ground or within the floor, wall or roof, the pipes in your home are a hidden but vital part of your everyday activities. They bring clean water to your house, and take unclean water and sewage away.

As soon as you find an issue though, it’s the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you need it repaired as soon as possible to prevent damage to your house, your belongings and even your well-being.

Our emergency plumbers are prepared to get to you right away, so contact our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can cut back further leaks by turning the water off at the mains tap if needed.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for various reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and worn out. Or they could have iced up in very wintery weather and cracked. Tree roots could have forced open underground connections. Or there may be an issue with how the pipes were installed in the first place.

Once they are at your home, our after hours plumber will locate the problem and expeitiously repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of your pipes if required to look for other damage.

We Have You Covered

Tapware Problems Fixed

Do you live with a irksome faucet? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just defective?

We have seen a range of faucet problems over the years, and know that even a tiny drip can sound like elephants tapdancing in the small hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a minor irritant, can all of a sudden be a serious plumbing emergency.

It is not just annoying drips though. Leaks can push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the 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 causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you need an entire replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our specialist after hours plumbers will rapidly diagnose the issue and solve it. Our plumbers even carry a small choice of taps and faucets in their van to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From emergency plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too large or small for our Papakura plumbers. Not only can we sort out your leaking taps, we also offer a wide range of other plumbing services.

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

If the drip is not aggravating enough to be worth fixing right now, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to dampen the racket. Alternatively knot some string around the tap spout long enough to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
