What do I do when a plumbing catastrophe strikes?
What should you do when you discover a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If you find water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the electricity at the power box. Then, attempt to reduce any further leaking or flooding.
If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest location and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t find the water main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the diaster from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there quickly to solve the issue.
While waiting for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant items, wipe up any water, and put a bucket to catch any drips. You also should turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
Help, I do not know where the main water valve is!
The primary shutoff valve is generally on the border of your property close to the road. It is usually set into the ground below a blue or black cover.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.
When your drains are overflowing, you want assistance straight away. Our urgent Houghton plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and we are ready to get them flowing again.
Blocked pipes can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unblock it on your own with a plunger and a little know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there quickly to get the pipes cleared.
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Whether there is a item blocking the toilet, 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.
In the rare case that we can’t get the obstruction completely cleared or more extensive repairs are needed, our team will find a temporary solution to keep you going until our plumbers return.
Can I unclog the drain myself?
If you have a plunger you can attempt to break up the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please do not use chemicals as they rarely do the job properly and the chemicals can ruin 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.
We tend to do not think about how frequently you depend on effortless fast hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished up in the garage and really want a wash? Need to finish up some dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and find it’s cold.
When the hot water has fallen short, give us a call. We’ll be there promptly to figure out the issue and resolve it. From heating elements to defective thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can sort them out and get your life back to normal.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of the usual household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your wallet very rapidly.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Houghton urgent plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our reliable team can help pick the best solution for your household needs, budget and location. If the whole system is tired and deteriorating, we can schedule upgrades at a time that works for you as well.
The pipes in your residence are a normally hidden but integral part of your daily life. Big and small, in the earth, within the wall or the ceiling, they bring fresh water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.
Often, you barely even think about their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s usually a serious issue that needs to be sorted urgently before your home, your furnishings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.
As soon as you identify a leak or burst pipe, phone our urgent plumbers immediately. Our team are waiting to help Houghton residents right now. While you are waiting for us to get there, it could be useful to turn off the water to the house.
How did my pipe burst?
There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps might burst. If you reside in a extremely cold location, they may have iced up and burst. They may simply be aged and worn out. They might not have been installed properly when the home was built. Tree roots can invade subterranean seals.
Our emergency plumbers will identify and fix the broken pipes or leaks expeitiously and professionally.
Do you own a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply defective?
Many customers over the years have told us how annoying it is to live with a dripping or broken faucet. You may not even hear the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it’s echoing throughout your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it is a serious problem.
Not only is the sound frustrating, but a dripping or leaking tap can escalate your bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your residence, call us now.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need in the vans to remedy your leak. The team carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you need a new one, or can install a temporary one if required.
As well as serving Houghton with urgent plumbing of all kinds, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too extensive or small.
Why is my tap dripping?
Find a piece of string of some kind, and knot it around the tap aerator so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and flow off quietly.
