FAQ: 24 Hour Plumber

I have a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency hits? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if needed turn the mains switch off on the breaker box.

If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest isolating valve or at the mains tap outside. If you cannot locate the water main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem 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 problem.

While you are waiting, clear away any important items close to the leak, and clean up any water or place a container to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

You may know the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is normally positioned on the property perimeter near the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Problems

When your drains are overflowing, you want assistance as soon as possible. Our 24 hour Queenstown plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.

A obstructed pipe is a serious problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to see, or smell!

Whether it’s the bathroom sink that will not clear, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our on call Queenstown plumbers will quickly identify the obstruction and repair it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vans, we have everything we need available to fix almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that needs extra equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are completed.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

We endorse trying to clear simple clogs using a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have a plunger, or it doesn't clear the obstruction, we do not suggest chemicals as they rarely do a good job, and can cause more damage to your drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Hot Water System Issues

We usually take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to defrost following a wintery day? Have a pile of of dishes to take care of? It’s hard to have a good clean up when the water is not hot.

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

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

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Queenstown 24 hour plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. If there is 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 the cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our friendly plumbers can help pick the most suitable option for your household requirements, budget and location. If the whole system is past it’s use by date and deteriorating, we can schedule improvements at a time that works for you as well.

Why did the pipe burst?

There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps can fail. If you live in a cold climate, the pipes might have iced up and ruptured. They may simply be old and worn out. They may not have been adequately sealed in the first place. Tree roots can invade underground pipes.

When they are at your home, our same day plumber will diagnose the problem and expeitiously fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of your pipes if required to check for other damage.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you own a annoying faucet? A tap that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just busted?

Over the years, we have found that even a dripping tap can be a major vexation. Something that might go unheard in the hubbub of every day life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer in the middle of the night, disturbing your shuteye.

Not only can it keep the whole house awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it is the hot water. Do not let the bills increase even higher, or maybe even cause damage to your house, call our same day plumber now.

Whether you want an entire new tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional on call plumbers will speedily find the problem and solve it. We even carry a modest choice of taps and faucets on hand for you to select from, or can install a temporary one if required.

As well as serving Queenstown with 24 hour plumbing of all types, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too big or little.

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

If it’s not bad enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to minimise the noise. Or tie a length of twine around the faucet spout long enough to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
