Frequently Asked Questions - Important

Urgent Plumber - 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 tap to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main water shutoff valve for your property. If you are unable to find a main valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the home to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once that is done, give our plumber a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be with you shortly to resolve the problem.

While waiting for our emergency plumber, remove any important things, wipe up any water, and position a container to catch any drips. You also should turn 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 Issues

We know a clogged pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked pipe is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our crew of urgent plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Blocked drains can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the block 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.

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Whether it is a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get things flowing again.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the problem to minimise further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as we can.

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 drains ruin your day. Call our 24 hour Howick emergency plumbing team now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Not Working

We normally take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning properly. Time to put muddy kids in the bath? Need a good soak to defrost after a chilly day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to take care of? It is a pain to have a good wash up when the water is cold.

When the hot water isn’t up to standard, you want it to be working again fast. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can rapidly identify the issue and get it resolved.

Did you know around thiry percent of your household power bill powers the hot water heating? A leak may rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a lot of damage to your residence and to things stored nearby. Don’t let hot water problems harm your pocket, get them resolved promptly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Howick urgent plumbers as soon as you can. 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 you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking a suitable solution for your budget, needs and location. If your whole hot water system needs upgrading, our plumbers can organise to do that in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Fast

From the small fresh water pipes in your walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, the majority of the pipes in your residence are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We do not even remember them until there is a problem.

Usually, you do not even remember their existence unless something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s a major issue that needs to be sorted out immediately before your home, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

Our urgent plumbers are set to be there right away, so call us as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can cut back further leaks by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if required.

Why did the pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can break down for a variety of reasons. They might simply be old and deteriorated. Or they may have frozen in extremely wintery weather and ruptured. Tree roots could have invaded subterranean pipes. Or there may be an issue with how the pipes were installed in the first place.

When they are at your home, our 24 hour plumber will locate the problem and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipes if needed to look for other issues.

All Tapware Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a troublesome faucet? A faucet that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?

A lot of customers over the years have mentioned how aggravating it can be to have a dripping or broken faucet. You may not even notice the drip during the day, but at 3am when it’s echoing around your home like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it is a major problem.

It’s not only frustrating drips though. Leaks can push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you just need a washer, or an entire new tap, our 24 hour plumbers have the parts that you need. All the vans are fully equipped with parts and carry a modest selection of replacement taps and faucets to select from if required. If we do not have the faucet you require, we can put in a temporary tap until we track down what you want.

From big to small, our Howick urgent plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we provide a wide selection of urgent and day to day plumbing services.

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

Find a piece of twine of some kind, and tie it onto the tap spout so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and dribble off quietly.
