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

Once you have stopped the diaster from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, at any time of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to resolve the issue.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start wiping up any water, position a container to catch any drips, and clear away important possessions from the area. If the house water is turned off, 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 Problems

When your pipes are overflowing, you need assistance asap. Our emergency Houghton plumbers understand how overwhelming and damaging blocked pipes can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.

A clogged drain is a serious problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it yourself using 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 see, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get things flowing once more.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the complication to minimise further damage and return with what is required as soon as possible.

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 urgent Houghton emergency plumbing team now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Not Working

We generally take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Need to put grubby kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to warm up following a long cold day? Got a sink-full of of dishes to take care of? It’s hard to have a good wash when the water is not hot.

When the hot water isn’t hot enough, you want it fixed as soon as possible. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.

Did you know around thiry percent of the average home electricity bill powers the hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a considerable amount of damage to your residence and to items stored nearby. Do not let hot water calamities harm your pocket, get them resolved asap.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Houghton emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the cylinder is not repairable, our friendly plumbers can assist in picking the best option for your household requirements, budget and area. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and deteriorating, we can arrange for upgrades at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Promptly

The pipes in your residence are a largely hidden but very important part of everyday life. Big or little, underground, in the walls or the roof, they bring fresh water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.

As soon as you find a problem though, it is the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you want it repaired as soon as possible to prevent damage to your home, your belongings and even your well-being.

The moment a leak is identified, give us a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We are ready to take your call day or night. Before they arrive, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to prevent yet more leaking.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes can break down and begin to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older residence, they might simply be aged and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, they might have frozen and burst. In a newer home, there may be an issue with how they were installed. Underground connections might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When they arrive, our urgent plumber will locate the issue and promptly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of the pipework if required to look for other issues.

All Tapware Covered

Tapware Leaks Sorted

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

We’ve seen all sorts of faucet problems over the years, and know that even a tiny drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink in the wee hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a inconsequential irritant, can suddenly become a serious plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound frustrating, but a dripping or leaking tap can escalate the bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your home, call us now.

Whether you need a whole new tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional urgent plumbers will quickly find the issue and solve it. Our plumbers even carry a small choice of taps and faucets in their van to select from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From emergency plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too big or little for our Houghton plumbers. Not only can we sort out leaking taps, the team can also provide a wide range of additional plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?

If it’s not annoying enough to be worth fixing right this moment, you can place a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to diminish the sound. Alternatively knot a piece of string around the faucet spout long enough to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
