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.

If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest service valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t locate the water main isolation valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

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

In the meantime, begin cleaning up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and remove significant possessions from the area. If the house 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 bowl.

Blocked Drains Hassles

We know a obstructed pipe can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked pipe is never a happy circumstance. That is why our team of urgent plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.

Blocked pipes can cause damage to your residence, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to clear the problem yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need someone there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether it’s the laundry sink that will not empty, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across the garden, our on call Howick plumbers will quickly locate the obstruction and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

All 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 resolve the issue to minimise further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as possible.

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 and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Problems

We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Need to put muddy kids in the shower? Need a good soak to warm up following a chilly day? Got a pile of of dishes to take care of? It’s difficult to have a good wash up when the water is not hot.

When the hot water isn’t up to standard, you want it fixed fast. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it resolved.

Did you know around 30% of your household power bill goes to hot water heating? A leak can suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a considerable amount of damage to your house and to items stored in the hot water cupboard. Do not let hot water catastrophies empty your wallet, get them repaired fast.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Howick urgent plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water working again quickly. If you find 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 your cylinder is not able to be fixed, our reliable team can help pick the most suitable option for your household requirements, budget and location. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and worn out, we can schedule improvements at a time that works for you as well.

Urgent Plumbers Standing By

Burst Pipes Solved In No Time

As soon as you find a problem though, it’s the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you need it resolved asap to prevent damage to your residence, your contents and even your well-being.

As soon as a leak is identified, give us a call, and our urgent plumbers will be with you quickly. Our team are ready to take your call 24/7. Before they get there, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to minimise further damage.

How did the pipe burst?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps can start to leak. If you reside in a cold climate, they might have frozen and split. They might simply be old and worn out. They may not have been adequately sealed in the first place. Tree roots may force open underground pipes.

Our on call plumbers can diagnose and repair your broken pipes or leaks rapidly and professionally.

All Tapware Handled

Tapware Issues Fixed

Do you live with a irksome faucet? A tap that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright busted?

We have seen all sorts of tap problems over the years, and know that even a little drip can sound like elephants tapdancing at 2am when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a insignificant annoyance, can suddenly become a serious plumbing emergency.

Not only can it keep the whole house awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it is hot water. Don’t let the bills increase even higher, or maybe even cause damage to your residence, contact our on call plumber now.

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

As well as providing Howick with urgent plumbing of all types, our team are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too large or small.

The drips are keeping me awake, how can I stop them temporarily to get some sleep?

If the drip is not bad enough to be worth repairing right now, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to diminish the racket. Or tie a piece of string around the tap aerator long enough to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
