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.

If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest service valve or at the mains tap outside. If you can’t locate the main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the leak from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any time of the day or night. They’ll be there quickly to solve the issue.

While you are waiting, clear away any significant things close to the leak, and wipe up any water or place a bucket to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, 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.

It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Solved

Our Howick on call plumbers realise that a obstructed pipe can be a serious health hazard that needs attending to as soon as possible. That is why we offer our urgent plumbing service.

Clogged drains can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the clog yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need someone there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether it’s the kitchen sink that won’t empty, 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 identify the issue and clear it so that life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the issue to minimise further damage and return with what is needed as soon as possible.

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 obstructed drains ruin your day. Ring our on call Howick emergency plumbing team now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Not Working

We normally take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning properly. Need to put grubby kids in the bath? Want a good soak to defrost following a long cold day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to take care of? It’s difficult to have a good clean up when the water is lukewarm.

If the hot water isn’t up to temperature, you want it to be hot again fast. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can rapidly identify the problem and get it resolved.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around thiry percent of the average household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your pocket very rapidly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Howick urgent plumbers immediately. We’ll get the 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 the existing hot water cylinder is not repairable, our helpful team can help in identifying the best options for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, our team can organise an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

Large or little, buried in the garden or within the floor, walls or roof, the pipes in your residence are a hidden but integral part of daily life. They carry fresh water to your home, and transfer used water and sewage away.

Usually, people never even remember them unless something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s generally a major problem that needs to be resolved urgently before the building, your belongings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

As soon as you discover a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our urgent plumbers asap. We are waiting to help Howick residents right now. While you are waiting for our plumber to get there, it may help to turn off the water to the property.

Why did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for many reasons. If you own an older house, they might simply be old and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, they might have frozen and burst. In a recently built house, there might be an issue with how they were installed. Subterranean joins might have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our on call plumbers will identify and repair your broken pipes or leaks promptly and professionally.

All Tapware Handled

Tap Problems Solved

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

Over the years, we have found that even a dripping tap can be a major vexation. Something that can go unheard in the brouhaha of daily life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos at 2am, ruining your shuteye.

Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise your bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot tap. Do not waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your home, call our team now.

Whether you just need a washer, or an entire new tap, our on call plumbers have got what you need. All our vehicles are well stocked with parts and carry a small choice of new taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we don’t have the faucet you want, we can install an interim faucet until we locate the style you need.

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

How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a dilapidated or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of faucet, we can frequently replace worn out parts on the spot for a very modest outlay.
