Frequently Asked Questions - Important

Emergency 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.

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

Once you have stopped the problem from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. They will be there rapidly to solve the issue.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start cleaning up any water, put a container to catch any drips, and clear away valuable 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.

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

Blocked Drains Problems

We understand a obstructed pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged pipe is never a good thing. That is why our crew of emergency plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.

A obstructed pipe is a major predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it with a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will be at your home quickly to solve the problem. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and tidy up 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’ll temporarily solve the problem to minimise further damage and return with what is needed as soon as we can.

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 blocked drains ruin your day. Call our on call Howick emergency plumbers now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Leaks

Had a hard day at work and badly need a nice warm shower? Time to put the kids into the tub? Have a few dishes to finish up? It’s never handy to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden realise that the water is lukewarm.

When your hot water has fallen short, give our plumbers a ring. We’ll be there quickly to diagnose the issue and resolve it. From heating elements to defective thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can sort them out and get you back to normal life.

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

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Howick emergency plumbers right away. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a large amount 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 option for your budget, requirements and area. If your entire hot water system requires improvements, our plumbers can organise to do those repairs in a timely manner as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

The pipes in your house are a largely concealed but key part of everyday activities. Large or little, subterranean, in the walls or the ceiling, they bring fresh water to your home and take the used stuff away.

Usually, we barely even remember them until something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s usually a significant problem that must be sorted out immediately before your home, your possessions or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

The moment a leak is discovered, give our team a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We are waiting to answer night or day. Before they arrive, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to prevent yet more flooding.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can break down for a variety of reasons. They may simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they could have frozen in extremely wintery weather and ruptured. Tree roots might have grown into subterranean pipes. Or there could be a problem with how they were set up in the first place.

Our on call plumbers can diagnose and fix your burst pipes or leaks quickly and precisely.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tapware Leaks Sorted

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

We’ve seen a range of tap problems over the years, and know that even a little drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink at 2am when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a insignificant annoyance, can suddenly become a drastic plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking tap can raise the bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot tap. Don’t waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your home, call our team now.

Whether you want an entire replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional on call plumbers will quickly diagnose the cause and fix it. We even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets on hand for you to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

As well as serving Howick with emergency plumbing of all types, our team are available for general maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too great or minor.

Why is my tap dripping?

Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of tap, we can usually replace dilapidated parts on the spot for a very modest expenditure.
