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 taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains shutoff tap to stop all water to your property.

Once you have stopped the problem from worsening, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. They will be there quickly to solve the problem.

While waiting for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant items, wipe up any water, and put a bucket to catch drips. You should also turn 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.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet bowl.

Urgent Plumber Standing By

Blocked Drains Fixed

Our Howick on call plumbers know that a blocked pipe can be a major health risk that needs attending to immediately. That is why we offer our urgent plumbing service.

A obstructed drain is a serious predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it using a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to see, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.

In the rare case that we can’t get the obstruction completely removed or more extensive repairs are required, our team will find a temporary solution to keep you going 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 ruin your day. Call us now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Problems

We usually take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Need to put mucky kids in the shower? Deperately want a good soak to defrost following a long cold day? Got a pile of of dishes to take care of? It’s a pain to have a good wash when the water is not hot.

When your hot water has fallen short, give our plumbers a call. Our plumbers will be there quickly to figure out the issue and resolve it. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can repair them and get your life back to normal.

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

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Howick urgent plumbers as soon as you can. 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 switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick a suitable option for your budget, needs and area. If your entire hot water system needs improvements, we can organise to do those repairs in a opportune manner as well.

Urgent Plumber Ready

Burst Pipes Resolved Quick

Large and small, buried in the ground or within the floor, wall or ceiling, the various pipes in your residence are a hidden but indispensible part of everyday life. They bring clean water to your house, and take unclean water and sewage away.

Most of the time we never even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly you’re looking at a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be fixed as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your residence, belongings and health.

The moment a leak is found, give us a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on the road quickly. We’re waiting to answer day or night. Before they arrive, it could be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise further damage.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older residence, they may simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework may have iced up and burst. In a new residence, there might be an issue with how they were installed. Subterranean seals may have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once our on call plumber arrives, they can isolate the issues and repair them in a rapid and professional manner.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Tapware Issues Resolved

Do you own a annoying faucet? A tap that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain busted?

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking tap can raise your bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot tap. Do not waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your house, call us now.

Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole new tap, our on call plumbers have got what you require. All our vehicles are fully equipped with parts and have a small choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if required.

As well as providing Howick with urgent plumbing of all types, our team are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too large or minor.

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

Find a length of string of some kind, and knot it around the faucet aerator so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and flow off quietly.
