Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

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.

If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest service valve and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot locate the water main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the system and reduce 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 quickly to resolve the issue.

In the meantime, begin cleaning up any water, place a container to catch any drips, and clear away valuable things from the area. If the property 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 Fixed

When your drains are overflowing, you want assistance fast. Our urgent Howick plumbers know how frustrating and damaging blocked drains can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.

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

Whether it is the laundry sink that won’t empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across the garden, our emergency Howick plumbers will efficiently identify the issue and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the complication to minimise further damage and return 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 a obstructed pipe get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Not Working

We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Need to put muddy kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to warm up following a long cold day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to finish up? It’s difficult to have a good wash up when the water is lukewarm.

When your hot water has fallen short, give us a ring. Our plumbers will be there quickly to diagnose the problem and fix it. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can sort them out and get you back to normal life.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of the average household’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your wallet very swiftly.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Howick urgent plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water working again promptly. If you find a lot 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 is not able to be overhauled, our friendly plumbers can assist in picking the most suitable option for your household requirements, budget and area. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and deteriorating, we can schedule improvements at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

Big and small, hidden under the ground or within the floor, walls or roof, the various pipes in your house are a hidden but key part of your everyday life. They bring fresh water to your house, and take used water and sewage out.

Most of the time we never even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden we are looking at a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be fixed immediately, to minimise damage to your residence, belongings and well-being.

The moment a leak is identified, give us a call, and our urgent plumbers will be on the road rapidly. Our team are waiting to take your call 24/7. Before they arrive, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to reduce yet more flooding.

Why did my pipe burst?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps might break down. If you live in a cold climate, they may have frozen and ruptured. They could just be old and past their use-by. They might not have been properly installed when the home was built. Tree roots may force open subterranean junctions.

Once they arrive, our emergency plumber will identify the issue and quickly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipework if needed to look for other damage.

All Tapware Handled

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a irksome tap? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain defective?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping tap can be a major aggravation. Something that can go unnoticed in the brouhaha of daily life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer in the middle of the night, ruining your sleep.

It isn’t just annoying drips though. Leaks can push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s 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 putting a huge dent in your wallet.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need on hand to remedy your leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you require a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if required.

As well as serving Howick with urgent plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too great or too small.

Why is my faucet dripping?

Usually, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of tap, we can usually replace worn out parts on the spot for a very reasonable cost.
