Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

After Hours 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.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have taps that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff valve to stop all the water to your property.

Once you have stopped the diaster from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. They’ll be there quickly to resolve the issue.

While waiting for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant items, clean up any water, and place a bucket to catch drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

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, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.

Blocked Drains Issues

When your pipes are overflowing, you need assistance quickly. Our after hours Howick plumbers know how disheartening and damaging clogged pipes can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.

Clogged drains can be a serious health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Occasionally you can fix it on your own 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 cleared.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink will not drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we’ll arrive at your abode speedily to resolve the issue. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the complication to minimise further damage and return 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.

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

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Problems

We usually take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Need to put grubby kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to defrost following a chilly day? Have a pile of of dishes to finish up? It’s hard to have a good clean when the water is not hot.

When the hot water is not up to temperature, you want it to be hot again as soon as possible. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen everything and can rapidly identify the problem and get it fixed.

Hot water leaks can quickly put the power bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted promptly, the cost will become more costly by the day.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Howick after hours plumbers right away. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. If there is 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 cylinder isn’t repairable, our helpful team can assist in picking the best solution for your household needs, budget and location. If the whole system is aged and worn out, our plumbers can arrange for upgrades at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Promptly

From the small fresh water pipes in your walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the ground, most of the pipes in your residence are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even think of them until there’s a problem.

As soon as you find an issue though, it is the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you need it resolved immediately to prevent damage to your house, your belongings and even your well-being.

When you find a leak or burst pipe, phone our after hours plumbers asap. Our team are waiting to assist Howick residents right away. Whilst waiting for our plumber to get there, it could be useful to turn off the water to the house.

Why did my pipe burst?

Pipes can deteriorate and start to leak for a variety of reasons. If you own an older house, they may simply be aged and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework may have frozen and cracked. In a newer residence, there could be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Underground seals could have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once the emergency plumber arrives, they will isolate the problems and repair them in a quick and expert manner.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tap Issues Resolved

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

A lot of clients over the years have told us how vexing it is to live with a dripping or busted faucet. You may not even be aware of the drip during the daytime, but in the wee hours when it is reverberating throughout your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it is a major issue.

It is not only annoying drips though. Leaks may drive 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 require a whole new faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional emergency plumbers will efficiently find the issue and remedy it. We even carry a small choice of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

From big to small, our Howick after hours plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we offer a wide selection of urgent and day to day plumbing services.

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

Find a piece of string of some type, and knot it onto the faucet aerator so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the twine and flow off quietly.
