Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ - Emergency 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 a tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water isolating valve to stop all water to your home.

Once that’s sorted, give our plumber a call, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be with you rapidly to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important items, mop up any water, and put a bucket to catch drips. You also should 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.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps also.

Blocked Drains Issues

When your drains are overflowing, you want help quickly. Our emergency Howick plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging blocked pipes can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.

A obstructed drain is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unblock it yourself with a plunger. But if you can not, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Regardless of whether there is 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 things flowing once more.

With our well equipped vans, we have all we need on hand to repair almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that needs other equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are concluded.

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 clogged drains ruin your day. Ring our urgent Howick emergency plumbing team now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Not Working

We tend to 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 warm up following a chilly day? Got a sink-full of of dishes to finish off? It is awkward to have a good clean when the water is not hot.

When the hot water is not up to standard, you want it to be repaired as soon as possible. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen it all and can quickly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.

Did you know about 30% of your household electricity bill goes to hot water heating? A leak can suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a considerable amount of damage to your residence and to things stored nearby. Don’t let hot water woes damage your pocket, get them fixed asap.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Howick emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is 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 you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking the best option for your budget, requirements and area. If your whole hot water system requires upgrading, our plumbers can arrange to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Solved In No Time

The pipes in your house are a generally hidden but key part of your everyday activities. Big or little, under the ground, within the walls or the roof, they bring clean water to you and take the dirty stuff away.

Usually, people barely even remember them unless something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is generally a significant issue that needs to be resolved immediately before your home, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

As soon as a leak is found, give us a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way quickly. We’re ready to answer day or night. Before they arrive, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to reduce further leaking.

Why did the pipe burst?

There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps can fail. If you live in a extremely cold region, they might have frozen and burst. They may simply be aged and dilapidated. They may not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots can grow into subterranean pipes.

Once the urgent plumber arrives, they can locate the problems and fix them in a quick and professional manner.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tap Leaks Fixed

Do you have a busted faucet? A tap that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a geyser?

We’ve seen a range of tap issues over the years, and know that even a small drip can sound like a woodpecker at 2am when you’re trying to sleep. What was a insignificant niggle, can suddenly become a serious plumbing emergency.

It is not only frustrating drips though. Leaks may push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small 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 might need on hand to resolve your leak. We carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to choose from if you need a replacement, or can install a temporary one if required.

From big to small, our Howick emergency plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we provide a wide range of emergency and general plumbing services.

Why is my tap dripping?

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