Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ - Urgent Plumbers

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 can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains tap to cut off all water to your residence.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We will be at your place as soon as we can to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any significant items, wipe up any water, and place a container to catch drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

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

Our Howick 24 hour plumbers know that a blocked pipe can be a major health hazard that needs fixing right away. That is why we have our urgent plumbing service.

Blocked drains can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the issue yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need a professional there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether it is the bathroom sink that won’t clear, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our 24 hour Howick plumbers will quickly locate the obstruction and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare case that we can’t get the obstruction completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are needed, we will find an interim solution to tide you over until we come back.

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 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 Issues

We normally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Time to put grubby kids in the shower? Deperately want a good soak to defrost following a chilly day? Got a few of dishes to finish off? It is hard to have a good clean when the water is lukewarm.

When your hot water has fallen short, give our team a ring. Our plumbers will be there quickly to identify the issue and fix it. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can repair them and get you back to normal life.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause major damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of your household’s power bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your wallet very quickly.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Howick urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. If you find a lot 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 isn’t able to be overhauled, our helpful team can assist in picking the most suitable solution for your household needs, budget and area. If your whole system is aged and worn out, our plumbers can organise improvements at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Promptly

The pipes in your residence are a normally unseen but indispensible part of your everyday life. Large or small, in the earth, within the walls or the ceiling, they bring clean water to you and take the unclean stuff away.

As soon as you find a problem though, it is the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you need it fixed as soon as possible to prevent damage to your home, your belongings and even your health.

As soon as a leak is identified, give us a call, and our urgent plumbers will be with you quickly. We are ready to answer night or day. Before they get there, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce yet more leaking.

Why did my pipe burst?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you live in an older home, they might simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, they might have frozen and burst. In a new home, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground seals may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once our 24 hour plumber is present, they will isolate the issues and repair them in a quick and professional manner.

We Have You Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a busted faucet? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing a fountain impression?

Over the years, we have found that even a dripping faucet can be a significant vexation. Something that can go unheard in the hubbub of daily life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos in the middle of the night, disturbing your sleep.

Not only can it keep the everyone awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not let the bills increase more, or maybe even cause damage to your home, contact our 24 hour plumber straight away.

Whether you require a whole replacement faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional 24 hour plumbers can rapidly diagnose the problem and remedy it. We even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets on hand to select from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From big to small, our Howick urgent plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we provide a wide range of urgent and day to day plumbing services.

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

Normally, a dripping faucet is caused by a worn out or defective washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of faucet, we can often replace worn out parts on the spot for a very modest cost.
