Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

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 still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest isolating valve and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot locate the main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once that is done, give us a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you promptly to fix the leak.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start cleaning up any water, place a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away significant things from the area. If the house water is turned off, then 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.

It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Issues

When your drains are overflowing, you need help fast. Our urgent Karaka plumbers know how disheartening and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.

A clogged drain is a major predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it by yourself using a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to see, or smell!

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

In the rare case that we can not get the clog completely cleared or more extensive repairs are needed, we will find a temporary solution to tide you over until we return.

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 drains ruin your day. Call our 24 hour Karaka emergency plumbing team right away!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Not Working

We generally take our hot water for granted, until it is not working properly. Need to put mucky kids in the shower? Deperately want a good soak to defrost after a freezing day? Have a few of dishes to deal with? It is difficult to have a proper wash up when the water is cold.

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

Did you know around 30% of the average home power bill powers the hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a lot of damage to your residence and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Do not let hot water problems damage your pocket, get them repaired fast.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Karaka urgent plumbers right away. We will get your hot water working again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the old hot water cylinder isn’t repairable, our helpful team can help in picking the best options for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also worn out, our team can organise an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Fixed Promptly

The pipes in your home are a generally concealed but significant part of your everyday activities. Large and small, under the ground, in the walls or the ceiling or under the floor, they carry fresh water to your home and take the used stuff away.

As soon as you find a problem though, it is the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you need it repaired immediately to prevent damage to your home, your contents and even your health.

When you identify a leak or burst pipe, phone our urgent plumbers without delay. We are waiting to assist Karaka residents right away. Whilst waiting for our plumber to get there, it may be useful to turn off the water to the house.

How did my pipe fail?

There are many reasons why pipes and taps may burst. If you live in a cold location, the pipes may have frozen and cracked. They could just be old and dilapidated. They might not have been adequately sealed in the first place. Tree roots can grow into underground pipes.

Once our 24 hour plumber arrives, they can identify the problems and fix them in a prompt and expert manner.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Tap Problems Sorted

Do you live with a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply defective?

A lot of clients over the years have told us how irritating it can be to live with a dripping or busted faucet. You may not even notice the drip during the day, but at night when it is reverberating around your home like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it is a sigificant issue.

It is not only irritating drips though. Leaks may run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you need a whole replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our specialist 24 hour plumbers will quickly identify the cause and resolve it. We even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets on hand to select from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

As well as providing Karaka with urgent plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too big or small.

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

Find a length of string of some kind, and knot it onto the tap aerator so that it drapes down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the twine and dribble off quietly.
