Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

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 valve outside. If you can’t locate the main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the household pipework and minimise 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 rapidly to resolve the problem.

While waiting, clear away any significant things from the area, and mop up any water or place a bucket to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water 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’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Fixed

We realise a obstructed pipe can be a serious problem. Whether it’s the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked pipe is never a good thing. That’s why our team of urgent plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can be a serious health risk, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it on your own with a plunger and a little know-how. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive speedily to get the pipes unclogged.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will be at your home quickly to resolve the issue. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

In the rare case that we can’t get the blockage completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, we will find an interim solution to get you through until we return.

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 a clogged pipe get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Not Working

We usually take our hot water for granted, until it is not working properly. Time to put grubby kids in the shower? Need a good soak to defrost after a freezing day? Got a pile of of dishes to finish off? It’s awkward to have a proper clean up when the water is not hot.

If the hot water isn’t hot enough, you want it hot again speedily. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it fixed.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of the usual household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your wallet very rapidly.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Houghton urgent plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water working again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the cylinder is not able to be fixed, our friendly plumbers can assist in picking the best option for your household requirements, budget and location. If the whole system is past it’s use by date and worn out, our plumbers can organise upgrades at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Promptly

Big and small, hidden in the ground or in the floor, wall or ceiling, the various pipes in your home are a unseen but vital part of everyday activities. They bring fresh water to your residence, and take unclean water and sewage out.

As soon as you find an issue though, it’s the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you need it resolved immediately to prevent damage to your home, your belongings and even your health.

Our urgent plumbers are set to get to you quickly, so ring us as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can minimise further flooding by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if needed.

Why did the pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for various reasons. The pipes may simply be old and dilapidated. Or they may have iced up in extremely frigid weather and ruptured. Tree roots could have grown into subterranean joints. Or there could be a problem with how they were set up in the first place.

Once they arrive, our on call plumber will locate the issue and promptly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipework if advised to check for other damage.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

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

Over the years, we have found that even a dripping faucet can be a major vexation. A little thing that can go unheard in the brouhaha of daily life without warning sounds like someone playing the bongos in the middle of the night, destroying your deams.

Not only can it keep the household awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t let the bills rise higher, or maybe even cause damage to your residence, contact our on call plumber now.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need in the vans to resolve your leak. Our plumbers carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you need a replacement, or can install a temporary one if required.

From urgent plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too large or minor for our Houghton plumbers. Not only can we sort out the leaking taps, we also offer a wide selection of other plumbing services.

Why is my tap dripping?

If the drip is not aggravating enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to diminish the racket. Alternatively knot some twine around the tap spout long enough to touch the bottom of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
