Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

On Call 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.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main water valve for your property. If you’re unable to locate the tap to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the home to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

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

While you are waiting, clear away any significant things close to the leak, and mop up any water or position a bucket to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating 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.

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

Blocked Drains Solved

Our Howick after hours plumbers know that a blocked pipe can be a serious health risk that needs fixing asap. That’s why we have our on call plumbing service.

Obestructed drains can be a major health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can fix it yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there speedily to get the pipes unclogged.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll arrive at your home quickly to resolve the problem. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the complication to prevent further damage and get back with what is required 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.

Do not let obstructed drains ruin your day. Ring our after hours Howick emergency plumbers right away!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Issues

Had a hard day at work and desperately want a hot shower? Time to put the children into the bath? Got a pile of dishes to take care of? It is never opportune to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden discover that the water is tepid.

When your hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you need it working again fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it remedied as fast as possible so your life can get back to normal.

Hot water leaks can swiftly send your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hiding in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed fast, it can become more expensive by the hour.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Howick on call plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder isn’t repairable, our friendly team can help pick the best option for your household requirements, budget and area. If the whole system is old and worn out, we can organise repairs at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed In No Time

Big or little, hidden in the ground or in the floor, walls or roof, the pipes in your house are a concealed but key part of daily life. They bring clean water to your abode, and remove used water and sewage out.

Normally you barely even think of them. Not until there’s a problem, and suddenly you are looking at a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be repaired as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your residence, furnishings and health.

Our on call plumbers are prepared to get to you quickly, so contact us as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can reduce further flooding by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if needed.

How did my pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older home, they may simply be aged and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have frozen and ruptured. In a newer residence, there might be an issue with how they were installed. Subterranean connections may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they are at your home, our after hours plumber will identify the issue and promptly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of the pipes if advised to look for other issues.

All Taps Handled

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

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

We’ve been called to a range of faucet problems over the years, and know that even a small drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink in the wee hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a minor irritant, can all of a sudden be a dire plumbing emergency.

It is not only irritating drips though. Leaks can push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need in the vans to resolve your 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 required.

From big to small, our Howick on call plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we provide a wide range of urgent and general plumbing services.

How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

If it is not annoying enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to dampen the noise. Alternatively knot a length of string around the faucet aerator long enough to touch the base of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
