FAQ Emergency 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 water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest location or at the mains tap outside. If you cannot locate the water main isolation valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the leak from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. They’ll be there promptly to resolve the problem.

In the meantime, start wiping up any water, put a container to catch drips, and remove significant things from the area. If the mains 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.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

Blocked Drains Fixed

We realise a obstructed drain can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked drain is never a good thing. That’s why our team of emergency plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Obestructed pipes can be a major health risk, especially when sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unclog it yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there speedily to get the pipes unblocked.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink will not drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll arrive at your home rapidly 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 comprehensive repairs are needed, we will find an interim 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 ruin your day. Call us now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Not Working

Had a hard day at work and badly want a refreshing shower? Time to put the kids in the bath? Have a pile of dishes to finish off? It is rarely opportune to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden discover that the water is cold.

When the hot water has let you down, give us a call. We’ll be there quickly to figure out the issue and get it resolved. From heating elements to defective thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can repair them and get you back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause serious damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around thiry percent of the usual home’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your pocket very swiftly.

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

If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick the best solution for your budget, needs and area. If the whole hot water system needs upgrading, we can organise to do that in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

From the small fresh water pipes in the walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your house are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even think of them until there’s a problem.

Normally, we barely even think about them until something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s a major problem that must be sorted out immediately before your home, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

As soon as you identify a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our emergency plumbers without delay. We are waiting to help Howick residents right now. Whilst waiting for our plumber to arrive, it may be useful to turn off the water to the house.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can fail for various reasons. They might simply be old and dilapidated. Or they could have frozen in very cold weather and burst. Tree roots might have invaded underground seals. Or there could be an issue with how the pipes were set up in the first place.

Once they are at your home, our 24 hour plumber will diagnose the problem and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of your pipework if required to look for other problems.

All Taps Covered

Tapware Issues Sorted

Do you have a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply busted?

Over the years, we have found that even a dripping tap can be a serious aggravation. Something that might go unheard in the hubbub of every day life without warning sounds like someone practicing the drums at 2am, disturbing your sleep.

As well as keeping the household awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t let the bills increase higher, or possibly cause damage to your residence, ring our 24 hour plumber straight away.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need in the vans to halt your leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you need a new one, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From emergency plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too large or little for our Howick plumbers. Not only can we fix your leaking taps, we also provide a broad selection of additional plumbing services.

How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?

If it’s not aggravating enough to be worth repairing right now, you can put a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to dampen the sound. Or knot a length of string around the tap spout sufficient to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
