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.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have service 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 doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating valve to cut off all the water to your property.

Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to resolve the problem.

While you are waiting, clear away any important things from the area, and mop up any water or place a bucket to catch any 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, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.

Blocked Drains Solved

We realise a blocked drain can be a serious problem. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged pipe is never a good thing. That is why our crew of urgent plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.

A blocked pipe is a serious problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it with a plunger. But 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 wish to see, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Whether it is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.

All 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 problem 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 drain send your day down the tubes. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Problems

Had a hard day at work and badly want a hot shower? Time to put the children into the bath? Have a sink-full of dishes to finish up? It’s rarely convenient to turn on the hot tap and suddenly realise that the water is cold.

If the hot water isn’t hot enough, you need it hot again asap. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can quickly diagnose the problem and get it resolved.

Hot water leaks can swiftly put the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks undetected in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted quickly, the cost can become more costly by the hour.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Karaka urgent plumbers right away. We’ll get the hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a large amount 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 plumbers can help pick the best option for your budget, requirements and location. If the whole hot water system needs upgrading, our plumbers can arrange to do that in a opportune fashion as well.

Urgent Plumbers Ready

Burst Pipes Solved Fast

From the small fresh water pipes in your floor, walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, the majority of the pipes in your home are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even remember them until there is an issue.

Once there is an issue though, it’s the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you want it fixed asap to prevent damage to your home, your contents and even your health.

As soon as a leak is discovered, give us a call, and our urgent plumbers will be on their way quickly. Our team are ready to answer night or day. Before they get there, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce further flooding.

Why did the pipe burst?

Pipes can break down and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older house, they might simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have iced up and ruptured. In a newer home, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Underground pipes could have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When they are at your home, our on call plumber will identify the issue and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipes if needed to check for other damage.

We Have You Covered

Tapware Problems Sorted

Do you own a broken faucet? One that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a geyser impression?

A lot of customers over the years have told us how vexing it is to have a dripping or busted tap. You may not even notice the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it is resounding throughout your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, suddenly it is a sigificant problem.

Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking faucet can send your bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your residence, call us now.

Whether you need an entire replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our specialist on call plumbers will quickly find the cause and solve it. Our plumbers even carry a small selection of taps and faucets on hand to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

From large to small, our Karaka urgent plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we provide a broad range of urgent and general plumbing services.

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

If the drip is not annoying enough to warrant fixing right now, you can place a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to dampen the noise. Alternatively knot some string around the faucet aerator sufficient to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
