Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

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.

If there is water still leaking, turn off the isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main water valve for your home. If you are unable to locate a water valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your home to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once that is sorted, give our plumber a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you shortly to get things sorted.

While you wait, begin mopping up any water, put a bucket to catch drips, and clear away valuable 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.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Fixed

Our Howick same day plumbers know that a clogged drain can be a major health hazard that needs attending to immediately. That’s why we provide our urgent plumbing service.

A clogged drain is a major problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it yourself with a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it is the ensuite sink that will not drain, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our same day Howick plumbers will efficiently identify the issue and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the problem to minimise further damage and get back with what is required as soon as possible.

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 a blocked pipe ruin your day. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Issues

We generally take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to defrost following a chilly day? Have a few of dishes to deal with? It is difficult to have a good clean when the water is cold.

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

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause major damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of the average home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your wallet very swiftly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Howick urgent plumbers right away. We will 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 switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the cylinder is not fixable, our helpful team can help pick the most suitable option for your household requirements, budget and area. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and deteriorating, we can schedule upgrades at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Quick

From the small fresh water pipes in the floor, walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, the majority of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even think of them until there’s a problem.

Often, you barely even remember their existence until something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is generally a significant issue that needs to be fixed urgently before your home, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

Our urgent plumbers are prepared to be there quickly, so ring us as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can minimise further leaks by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if needed.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes can break down and start to leak for many reasons. If you reside in an older residence, they may simply be aged and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework might have frozen and split. In a newer home, there may be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Underground connections might have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once our same day plumber arrives, they can identify the issues and repair them in a expeitious and professional manner.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Taps Not Working?

Do you have a troublesome tap? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a fountain?

A lot of our clientelle over the years have mentioned how annoying it is to live with a dripping or busted faucet. You may not even notice the drip during the day, but at 3am when it is resounding throughout your home like someone practicing the drums, suddenly it is a serious issue.

As well as keeping the everyone awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not let the bills rise even further, or possibly cause damage to your home, ring our same day plumber straight away.

Whether you require a whole replacement faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our specialist same day plumbers will quickly diagnose the issue and fix it. We even carry a small selection of taps and faucets on hand for you to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From urgent plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too great or small for our Howick plumbers. Not only can we repair the leaking taps, we can also offer a wide range of additional plumbing services.

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

If it is not aggravating enough to be worth fixing right now, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to minimise the sound. Or knot a length of twine around the faucet spout sufficient to touch the bottom of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
