FAQ Urgent Plumber

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 isolating valve or at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the water main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on 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 call, at any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there quickly to solve the problem.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin cleaning up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away important possessions from the area. If the house water is turned off, then 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.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.

Blocked Drains Fixed

Our Houghton 24 hour plumbers know that a blocked drain can be a major health risk that needs fixing as soon as possible. That’s why we have our urgent plumbing service.

Blocked pipes can cause damage to your abode, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the problem yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need someone there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether it is the laundry sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our 24 hour Houghton plumbers will efficiently identify the problem 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 needs extra equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are concluded.

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 drains ruin your day. Call our 24 hour Houghton emergency plumbing team right away!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Issues

We usually do not think about how much you count on easy quick hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished in the garden and really need a shower? Want to deal with a pile of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and discover it’s cold.

When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it remedied promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it remedied asap so your life can get back to normal.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about thiry percent of the usual home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your wallet very rapidly.

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

If your old hot water cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our helpful plumbers can assist in identifying the best options for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also tired, our team can organise improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Solved Fast

Large or little, buried in the earth or within the floor, wall or ceiling, the various pipes in your home are a hidden but integral part of everyday life. They bring fresh water to your home, and take used water and sewage away.

As soon as you find a problem though, it’s the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be worrying stuff, and you want it repaired asap to prevent damage to your home, your belongings and even your health.

The moment a leak is discovered, give us a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on the road quickly. We are ready to answer 24/7. Before they arrive, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to minimise further damage.

Why did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes can fail and start to leak for a variety of reasons. If you reside in an older house, they might simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have iced up and split. In a new house, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean junctions could have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our 24 hour plumbers will diagnose and repair your damaged pipes or leaks expeitiously and professionally.

We Have You Covered

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you have a busted tap? A tap that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a geyser?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a significant annoyance. A little thing that can go unnoticed in the hubbub of daily life suddenly sounds like elephants tap dancing at 2am, disturbing your sleep.

It is not just vexing drips though. Leaks can push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need on hand to resolve that leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you require a new one, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From urgent plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too great or small for our Houghton plumbers. Not only can we repair leaking taps, we also offer a broad range of other plumbing services.

Why is my faucet dripping?

Usually, a dripping faucet is caused by a worn out or defective washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the type of tap, we can frequently replace worn out parts on the spot for a very modest expenditure.
