Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Urgent 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 water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest access point and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t locate the main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time of the day or night. We will be at your place as soon as we can to save the day.

While you wait for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant items, clean up any water, and put 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

When your drains are overflowing, you want assistance quickly. Our urgent Howick plumbers understand how overwhelming and damaging blocked pipes can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.

A blocked pipe is a major problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unblock it with a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to see, or smell!

Whether it is the ensuite sink that won’t clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our on call Howick plumbers will quickly identify the problem and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vans, we have everything we require on hand to fix almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that requires extra equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are concluded.

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 clogged drains ruin your day. Call our on call Howick emergency plumbing team right away!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Leaks

We generally take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Time to put muddy kids in the bath? Want a good soak to warm up following a freezing day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to take care of? It is difficult to have a proper wash when the water is lukewarm.

When your hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you want it repaired promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it sorted asap so your life can get back to normal.

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

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Howick urgent plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water flowing again promptly. 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 the cylinder isn’t repairable, our friendly plumbers can help pick the most suitable option for your household requirements, budget and area. If your whole system is aged and worn out, our plumbers can arrange for improvements at a time that suits you as well.

Urgent Plumber Ready

Burst Pipes Sorted Fast

The pipes in your house are a largely concealed but key part of your everyday life. Big and small, subterranean, within the walls or the ceiling or under the floor, they bring fresh water to you and take the used stuff away.

Often, we do not even remember them unless something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is generally a major issue that must be sorted urgently before the building, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

When you discover a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our urgent plumbers immediately. Our team are waiting to help Howick residents right away. Whilst waiting for us to get there, it may help to turn off the water to the property.

Why did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a range of reasons. They might simply be past their prime and worn out. Or they could have frozen in extremely cold weather and split. Tree roots could have grown into underground seals. Or there could be an issue with how the pipes were set up in the first place.

Our on call plumbers can diagnose and repair your burst pipes or leaks quickly and precisely.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you own a busted faucet? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a geyser impression?

Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping faucet can be a major aggravation. Something that may go unnoticed in the brouhaha of every day life suddenly sounds like elephants tap dancing in the wee hours, disturbing your shuteye.

Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking tap can send the bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot tap. Do not waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your home, call us now.

Whether you just need a washer, or a whole replacement faucet, our on call plumbers have got what you need. All our vehicles are well stocked with parts and have a modest choice of new taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we do not have the faucet you want, we can put in an interim faucet until we track down what you desire.

As well as providing Howick with urgent plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too great or small.

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

Find a length of string of some kind, and knot it around the faucet aerator so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and dribble off quietly.
