Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ Emergency 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.

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

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

While you wait, begin wiping up any water, place a container to catch drips, and remove important items from the affected 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.

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.

Blocked Drains Hassles

We understand a blocked drain can be a major emergency. 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 crew of emergency plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can be a serious health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. Sometimes 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 pipes unclogged.

Whether it’s the ensuite sink that won’t clear, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our on call Howick plumbers will efficiently identify the issue and repair it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that our plumbers can’t get the clog completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are needed, our team will find a temporary solution to keep you going until we come back.

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.

Do not let obstructed drains ruin your day. Ring our on call Howick emergency plumbing team now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Problems

Had a hard day at work and badly require a refreshing shower? Time to put the kids into the bath? Have a sink-full of dishes to finish up? It’s never opportune to turn on the hot tap and suddenly realise that the water is tepid.

When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you want it sorted promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it working again as fast as possible so you can get back to normal life.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause major damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around thiry percent of your household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your pocket very rapidly.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Howick emergency plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water working again promptly. If there is 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 existing hot water cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our professional team can assist in identifying the best options for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also tired, we can arrange an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Resolved In No Time

Big and small, buried in the garden or within the floor, walls or roof, the pipes in your residence are a hidden but integral part of everyday life. They bring fresh water to your residence, and transfer unclean water and sewage away.

As soon as you find a problem though, it is the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you want it fixed as soon as possible to prevent damage to your residence, your furnishings and even your health.

As soon as a leak is found, give us a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We are ready to take your call 24/7. Before they get there, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise yet more damage.

How did my pipe burst?

There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps might burst. If you reside in a cold climate, they may have iced up and cracked. They might simply be old and past their use-by. They might not have been installed properly to begin with. Tree roots may invade underground connections.

When our on call plumber is present, they can locate the problems and repair them in a quick and professional manner.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

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

We have been called to an assortment of faucet issues over the years, and know that even a little drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums in the wee hours when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a minor irritant, can suddenly become a dire plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate your bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your residence, give us a ring.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need in the vans to resolve that leak. The team carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you need a new one, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

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

Why is my tap dripping?

If it is not bad enough to need fixing right now, you can put a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to diminish the sound. Or tie some string around the tap aerator long enough to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
