Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

After Hours 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 water to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main valve for your property. If you are unable to locate the tap to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the residence to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once that is done, give our team a ring, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be with you promptly to fix the leak.

While waiting, clear away any significant possessions from the area, and mop up any water or put a container to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, 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.

It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Issues

We understand a blocked pipe can be a major emergency. Whether it is the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is never a happy circumstance. That’s why our team of after hours plumbers are ready to solve your plumbing emergency.

Blocked drains can be a serious health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unclog it yourself with a plunger and a little know-how. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive speedily to get the drains unblocked.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll arrive at your abode speedily to resolve the problem. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

In the rare instance that we can’t get the blockage completely removed or more extensive repairs are needed, our team will find a temporary solution to keep you going 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 a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Issues

It’s been a hard day at work and desperately need a toasty warm shower? Time to put the children into the tub? Have a sink-full of dishes to deal with? It’s rarely handy to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden discover that the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water has let you down, give our plumbers a ring. We will be there promptly to diagnose the problem and resolve it. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can repair them and get your life back to normal.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about thiry percent of your household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your pocket very quickly.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Howick after hours plumbers right away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the existing hot water cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our friendly team can assist in picking the best options for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, we can organise an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

After Hours Plumbers Standing By

Burst Pipes Resolved In No Time

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

Normally you don’t even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly we’re standing in a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be resolved asap, to prevent damage to your residence, furnishings and health.

The moment a leak is found, give us a call, and our after hours plumbers will be with you quickly. We are waiting to answer day or night. Before they get there, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to minimise yet more damage.

Why did the pipe start leaking?

There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps may break down. If you live in a very cold climate, they might have iced up and burst. They could just be old and worn out. They may not have been properly installed when the home was built. Tree roots can invade underground connections.

Once the on call plumber is present, they will locate the problems and repair them in a prompt and professional manner.

We Have You Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a problem faucet? One that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a fountain?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping faucet can be a major vexation. Something that may go unnoticed in the hurly burly of daily life without warning sounds like elephants tap dancing at 2am, disturbing your deams.

It is not only aggravating drips though. Leaks may drive 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 negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you just want a washer, or a whole new faucet, our on call plumbers have the parts that you need. All the vehicles are fully stocked with parts and carry a modest selection of new taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we don’t have what you require, we can install a temporary faucet until we track down the style you need.

From after hours plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too large or minor for our Howick plumbers. Not only can we sort out the leaking taps, we can also offer a wide range of other plumbing services.

Why is my faucet dripping?

Find a length of string of some kind, and knot it around the tap aerator so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and dribble off quietly.
