Frequently Asked Questions - Important

Urgent 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.

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

Once you have stopped the diaster from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a ring, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to solve the problem.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant items close to the leak, and mop up any water or put a bucket to catch any drips. If you have 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, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.

Blocked Drains Fixed

When your drains are overflowing, you need help quickly. Our urgent Howick plumbers know how frustrating and damaging blocked pipes can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.

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

Whether it is the laundry sink that won’t clear, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our on call Howick plumbers will efficiently locate the problem and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare case that our plumbers can’t get the obstruction completely cleared or more extensive repairs are required, our team will find an interim solution to get you through until our plumbers return.

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 System Issues

Had a hard day at work and desperately need a nice warm shower? Time to put the kids in the tub? Got a few dishes to deal with? It’s rarely handy to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly realise that the water is cold.

When the hot water isn’t up to standard, you need it remedied promptly. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen everything and can quickly diagnose the issue and get it resolved.

Hot water leaks can rapidly push your power bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired promptly, the cost will become more expensive by the day.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Howick urgent plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off 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 the best option for your budget, needs and location. If the entire hot water system requires improvements, our plumbers can organise to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Promptly

The pipes in your residence are a generally unseen but vital part of your daily activities. Big or small, under the ground, in the wall or the roof, they carry clean water to your home and take the unclean stuff away.

Often, you do not even think about their existence unless something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it is usually a serious issue that must be fixed immediately before the building, your furnishings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

Our urgent plumbers are prepared to be on the scene quickly, so contact us as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can minimise further leaks by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if required.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you reside in an older home, they may simply be old and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, they might have iced up and burst. In a recently built house, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground junctions could have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they arrive, our on call plumber will identify the problem and expeitiously repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipework if required to check for other issues.

We Have You Covered

Tapware Leaks Solved

Do you own a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply defective?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a major vexation. Something that may go unheard in the hubbub of daily life without warning sounds like elephants tap dancing at 2am, disturbing your deams.

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

Whether you simply need a washer, or an entire replacement faucet, our on call plumbers have the parts that you need. All the vans are fully equipped with parts and carry a modest selection of replacement taps and faucets to select from if required. If we do not have the tap you want, we can install a temporary faucet until we find the style you want.

As well as serving Howick with urgent plumbing of all types, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too large or minor.

Why is my faucet dripping?

If the drip is not bad enough to need fixing right now, you can place a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to dampen the noise. Alternatively tie a length of twine around the tap aerator long enough to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
