Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Urgent 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 can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff valve to stop all water to the residence.

Once that is sorted, give us a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you rapidly to fix the leak.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start mopping up any water, place a bucket to catch drips, and clear away significant items from the area. If the house water is turned off, 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 behind the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Fixed

When your drains are overflowing, you want help straight away. Our urgent Howick plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.

Obestructed pipes can be a major health risk, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unclog it yourself with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive speedily to get the pipes unblocked.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Whether there is a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get things flowing once more.

With our well equipped vans, we have everything we need on hand to fix almost all drain blockages right away. If there is an underlying problem that needs extra equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are finished.

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 Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Problems

Had a hard day at work and badly want a toasty warm shower? Time to put the children in the tub? Have a pile of dishes to take care of? It is rarely convenient to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden realise that the water is barely warm.

When the hot water has let you down, give our team a call. We’ll be there quickly to diagnose the problem and fix it. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can repair them and get you back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of the usual home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your pocket very quickly.

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

If you do need a new hot water cylinder, our team can help pick a suitable option for your budget, needs and location. If your entire hot water system requires improvements, our plumbers can organise to do that in a opportune fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

The pipes in your residence are a normally unseen but vital part of your daily activities. Large and small, subterranean, within the walls or the ceiling or under the floor, they carry fresh water to your home and take the used stuff away.

Ususally you do not even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden you are looking at a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be resolved as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your residence, possessions and well-being.

As soon as a leak is identified, give our team a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be with you rapidly. We are waiting to answer 24/7. Before they get there, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to reduce further leaking.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can fail for a range of reasons. They might simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they could have frozen in extremely frigid weather and split. Tree roots could have forced open subterranean seals. Or there may be a problem with how they were installed to begin with.

When they arrive, our emergency plumber will locate the problem and expeitiously repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of your pipework if advised to check for other problems.

All Taps Handled

Tapware Issues Resolved

Do you have a defective faucet? One that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a geyser?

A lot of customers over the years have told us how frustrating it can be to have a dripping or busted tap. You may not even notice the drip during the daytime, but at 3am when it’s resounding around your home like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it’s a major issue.

Not only is the sound frustrating, but a dripping or leaking tap can raise your bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot water. Do not waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your house, call our team now.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need on hand to resolve your leak. We carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to choose from if you need a new one, or can install a temporary one if required.

From urgent plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too extensive or minor for our Howick plumbers. Not only can we repair your leaking taps, we also provide a broad selection of other 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 fixing right this moment, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to dampen the racket. Alternatively knot some twine around the tap aerator sufficient to touch the base of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
