FAQ - Urgent Plumber

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 service valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating valve to stop all water to the residence.

Once that is done, give our plumber a call, no matter what the day or time is. We will be with you shortly to fix the leak.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant things close to the leak, and wipe up any water or position a container to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

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 Hassles

We know a clogged pipe can be a major problem. Whether it’s the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked pipe is never a good thing. That’s why our team of urgent plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to clear the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Regardless of whether it is a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the problem to prevent further damage and return with what is needed 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.

Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Problems

We usually take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Time to put grubby kids in the shower? Need a good soak to warm up following a long cold day? Have a pile of of dishes to finish up? It’s a pain to have a good wash when the water is cold.

When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it remedied fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it remedied as soon as possible so your life can get back to normal.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of your home’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your pocket very swiftly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Papatoetoe urgent plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a lot 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 is not able to be fixed, our reliable team can help in finding the best soutions for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also tired, we can schedule improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Solved Promptly

The pipes in your home are a normally unseen but significant part of daily activities. Big and little, in the garden, within the wall or the roof, they carry fresh water to you and take the used stuff away.

Usually, people never even think about their existence unless something goes wrong. But when it does, it is a serious problem that must be fixed urgently before the building, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

When you identify a leak or burst pipe, phone our urgent plumbers as soon as possible. Our team are waiting to help Papatoetoe residents right away. While you are waiting for our plumber to get there, it may help to turn off the water to the property.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older house, they might simply be old and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, they may have frozen and burst. In a newer residence, there might be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean pipes might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they arrive, our after hours plumber will locate the issue and expeitiously fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipes if needed to check for other damage.

All Tapware Covered

Tapware Issues Solved

Do you have a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply broken?

A lot of customers over the years have mentioned how vexing it is to have a dripping or broken faucet. You might not even notice the drip during the daytime, but at 3am when it’s resounding throughout your home like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it’s a sigificant problem.

Not only can it keep the household awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it is hot water. Don’t let the bills increase even further, or possibly cause damage to your house, ring our after hours plumber now.

Whether you want an entire new tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our specialist after hours plumbers will efficiently diagnose the cause and remedy it. We even carry a small choice of taps and faucets in their van to pick from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

As well as providing Papatoetoe with urgent plumbing of all types, we are available for general maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too extensive or too small.

How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

If the drip is not bad enough to warrant repairing right now, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the racket. Alternatively knot some twine around the tap aerator long enough to touch the base of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
