Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ: Urgent Plumber

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 service valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main valve for your home. If you’re unable to find the water valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the home to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, any hour of the day or night. We will be there promptly to solve the issue.

While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any important things close to the leak, and wipe up any water or put a container to catch the drips. If you 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 taps as well.

Blocked Drains Hassles

Our Howick 24 hour plumbers understand that a clogged drain can be a serious health risk that needs attending to asap. That is why we provide our urgent plumbing service.

A clogged drain is a serious predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will be at your abode quickly to resolve the issue. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the complication 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 a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Issues

You tend to do not realise how much you depend upon easy quick hot water until it is not available anymore. Just finished in the garden and really need a wash? Time to take care of a pile of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and find it’s tepid.

When the hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you want it working again quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it sorted as soon as possible so you can get back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of the average home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your pocket very quickly.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Howick urgent plumbers right away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. 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 the cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our friendly team can assist in picking the best solution for your household needs, budget and location. If your whole system is aged and deteriorating, our plumbers can arrange for upgrades at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

From the little clean water pipes in your walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your residence are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even remember them until there’s an issue.

Normally you do not even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and suddenly we are looking at a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be sorted out asap, to minimise damage to your house, belongings and health.

The moment a leak is identified, give our team a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on their way quickly. We’re waiting to take your call any time. Before they arrive, it could be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to minimise yet more leaking.

How did the pipe start leaking?

There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps can burst. If you live in a cold climate, the pipes may have frozen and split. They could simply be old and worn out. The pipes might not have been installed properly when the home was built. Tree roots can invade subterranean pipes.

Once the 24 hour plumber is present, they will isolate the problems and fix them in a speedy and expert manner.

We Have You Covered

Tap Leaks Sorted

Do you live with a annoying faucet? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up defective?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping tap can be a significant irritation. Something that can go unnoticed in the hubbub of daily life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer in the middle of the night, destroying your deams.

It is not just frustrating drips though. Leaks may run up the 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 negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you require a whole new tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional 24 hour plumbers will efficiently diagnose the trouble and solve it. Our plumbers even carry a small choice of taps and faucets in their van for you to pick from, or can install a temporary one if required.

From large to small, our Howick urgent plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a wide range of urgent and general plumbing services.

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

If it’s not annoying enough to warrant repairing right now, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to diminish the noise. Alternatively tie a length of string around the tap spout sufficient to touch the base of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
