Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ: Urgent Plumbers

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.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water valve to cut off all the water to the house.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We’ll be there as soon as we can to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin wiping up any water, position a bucket to catch drips, and remove significant items from the affected area. If the mains water is turned off, 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.

Urgent Plumbers Ready

Blocked Drains Issues

When your pipes are overflowing, you want assistance right now. Our urgent Howick plumbers know how frustrating and damaging clogged drains can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.

Blocked pipes can be a major health risk, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains cleared.

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Whether it is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we need available to repair almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying issue that needs other equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are completed.

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 obstructed drain send your day down the tubes. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Not Working

We often do not think about how heavily you count upon effortless quick hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished in the garden and really want a wash? Want to finish up a few dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and discover it’s cold.

When your hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you want it fixed fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it fixed asap so you can get back to normal life.

Hot water leaks can swiftly push your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed speedily, the cost will become more expensive by the day.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Howick urgent plumbers right away. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. If there is 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 the old hot water cylinder isn’t repairable, our professional plumbers can assist in picking the best options for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, our team can arrange improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Urgent Plumber Standing By

Burst Pipes Fixed In No Time

From the small clean water pipes in the walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your residence are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. You never even remember them until there’s an issue.

Often, we barely even remember them until something goes wrong. But when it does, it is generally a major problem that needs to be sorted urgently before the building, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

When you find a leak or burst pipe, phone our urgent plumbers as soon as possible. We are waiting to help Howick residents right away. While you are waiting for our plumber to arrive, it could help to turn off the water to the property.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can break down for many reasons. The pipes might simply be old and worn out. Or they may have iced up in extremely frigid weather and cracked. Tree roots could have forced open underground connections. Or there might be an issue with how the pipes were set up in the first place.

Once they are at your home, our 24 hour plumber will identify the issue and expeitiously fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipes if advised to look for other issues.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Tapware Problems Solved

Do you have a busted faucet? A tap that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a geyser?

Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping faucet can be a serious aggravation. Something that may go unheard in the hubbub of daily life without warning sounds like someone practicing the drums in the wee hours, destroying your sleep.

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

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need on hand to fix that leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you require a new one, or can install a temporary one if required.

From urgent plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too big or minor for our Howick plumbers. Not only can we repair your leaking taps, the team also provide a broad range of additional plumbing services.

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

Usually, a dripping faucet is caused by a worn out or defective washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of faucet, we can frequently replace worn out parts right then and there for a very modest outlay.
