Frequently Asked Questions - Important

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 the water off at the nearest valve and then at the mains tap outside. If you can’t locate the main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Once that’s done, give our team a call, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be there promptly to resolve the problem.

While you wait, start wiping up any water, put a bucket to catch any drips, and remove important things from the affected area. If the house 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.

It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Issues

Our Howick on call plumbers understand that a obstructed pipe can be a major health risk that needs fixing right away. That is why we offer our urgent plumbing service.

Obestructed pipes can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unclog it yourself with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the drains cleared.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will arrive at your abode quickly to solve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the complication to minimise further damage and return with what is needed 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 blocked pipes ruin your day. Call our on call Howick emergency plumbers right away!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Problems

Had a hard day at work and badly want a hot shower? Time to put the kids in the tub? Have some dishes to finish off? It is seldom handy to turn on the hot tap and suddenly realise that the water is tepid.

When the hot water isn’t up to temperature, you need it sorted speedily. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around thiry percent of your home’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 is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Howick urgent plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. If there is 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 your existing hot water cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our friendly team can help in picking the best options for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, our plumbers can arrange an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Resolved Promptly

Big and little, buried subterranean or within the floor, wall or roof, the various pipes in your home are a hidden but integral part of your daily activities. They carry clean water to your house, and transfer dirty water and sewage out.

Normally you barely even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and suddenly you are looking at a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it repaired as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your house, furnishings and well-being.

The moment a leak is discovered, give us a call, and our urgent plumbers will be on their way quickly. Our team are waiting to answer 24/7. Before they arrive, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to reduce yet more flooding.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can break down for a variety of reasons. They might simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they could have frozen in very cold weather and ruptured. Tree roots could have forced open subterranean connections. Or there might be an issue with how they were installed in the first place.

Once the on call plumber arrives, they can identify the problems and repair them in a expeitious and professional manner.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tapware Leaks Solved

Do you have a problematic tap? A tap that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up broken?

We have been called to a range of faucet problems over the years, and we understand that even a little drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums in the wee hours when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a inconsequential aggravation, can suddenly become a drastic plumbing emergency.

It is not only annoying drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need in the vans to halt that leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you require a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

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

How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some rest?

Normally, a dripping faucet is caused by a dilapidated or defective washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of tap, we can usually replace dilapidated parts right then and there for a very acceptable cost.
