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.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main shutoff valve for your home. If you are unable to locate the tap to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your house to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Once that is sorted, give our team a call, no matter what the day or time is. We will be there shortly to fix the leak.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any important items, wipe up any water, and place a container to catch any drips. You should also 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.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Fixed

Our Houghton on call plumbers know that a clogged pipe can be a serious health hazard that needs fixing right away. That’s why we provide our emergency plumbing service.

Blocked pipes can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the clog yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether it is the ensuite sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across the garden, our on call Houghton plumbers will efficiently identify the issue and repair it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vans, we have everything we require available to fix almost all drain blockages right away. If there is an underlying issue that requires other equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are completed.

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 blocked pipe ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Issues

You usually don’t realise how frequently we rely on effortless quick hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished in the garden and really need a wash? Need to take care of some dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and find it’s barely warm.

When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you want it fixed fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or practically boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it sorted as fast as possible so you can get back to normal life.

Hot water leaks can rapidly put the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted as soon as possible, the cost will become more costly by the hour.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Houghton emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water working again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you need a new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick the best option for your budget, requirements and area. If the whole hot water system requires upgrading, we can organise to do that in a opportune manner as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Promptly

The pipes in your house are a largely unseen but important part of your daily activities. Large or little, in the garden, in the walls or the roof, they bring fresh water to your home and take the unclean stuff away.

Usually, people barely even recall them unless something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it is generally a serious problem that must be fixed immediately before the building, your possessions or even your health are damaged or ruined.

Our emergency plumbers are set to be there quickly, so ring us as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can cut back further damage by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if required.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes can deteriorate and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you reside in an older home, they may simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have frozen and split. In a new house, there could be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean seals could have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our on call plumbers will identify and fix your damaged pipes or leaks speedily and cleanly.

All Tapware Covered

Taps Not Working?

Do you own a broken tap? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?

A lot of our clientelle over the years have mentioned how frustrating it is to have a dripping or defective faucet. You may not even hear the drip during the daytime, but in the small hours when it is echoing around the house like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it is a sigificant issue.

Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise the bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot tap. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your home, call our team now.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need on hand to stop your leak. We carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you require a new one, or can install a temporary one if required.

From big to small, our Houghton emergency plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we provide a wide selection of urgent and day to day plumbing services.

How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?

If it’s not aggravating enough to warrant fixing right now, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to dampen the racket. Or tie a piece of twine around the tap spout long enough to rest on the base of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
