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 leaking, turn the water off at the nearest access point and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the water main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. They will be there quickly to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important things, mop 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 behind the toilet.

Urgent Plumber Standing By

Blocked Drains Hassles

We realise a clogged drain can be a serious problem. Whether it is the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That is why our crew of urgent plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

A obstructed pipe is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger. However if you can not, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to see, or smell!

Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink will not empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will be at your home rapidly to solve the problem. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we require available to repair almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying problem that requires extra equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to keep you going 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.

Don’t let clogged drains ruin your day. Ring our on call Houghton emergency plumbers now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Problems

We generally take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to defrost following a chilly day? Have a few of dishes to take care of? It’s difficult to have a proper clean up when the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water has let you down, give our team a call. We will be there quickly to diagnose the problem and get it fixed. From heating elements to unreliable 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 serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of the average household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your pocket very rapidly.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Houghton urgent plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water working again promptly. If there is 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 you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking the best solution for your budget, needs and area. If the entire hot water system needs improvements, our plumbers can schedule to do that in a opportune fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Fast

From the little fresh water pipes in the walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the ground, most of the pipes in your home are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even remember them until there is a problem.

Often, people do not even recall them until something goes wrong. But when it does, it’s usually a serious issue that must be sorted out immediately before your home, your furnishings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

As soon as a leak is identified, give us a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on the road quickly. We are ready to answer day or night. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to prevent further damage.

How did the pipe burst?

There are a variety reasons why pipes and taps can start to leak. If you live in a very cold climate, they may have iced up and ruptured. They might simply be aged and dilapidated. They may not have been adequately sealed in the first place. Tree roots may invade underground seals.

When they are at your home, our on call plumber will identify the problem and promptly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipes if advised to check for other damage.

All Tapware Covered

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you own a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether broken?

We’ve been called to an assortment of tap issues over the years, and we understand that even a minor drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink at 2am when you’re trying to sleep. What was a minor irritant, can all of a sudden be a dire plumbing emergency.

As well as keeping the whole house awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t let the bills increase further, or possibly cause damage to your house, ring our on call plumber now.

Whether you want an entire replacement tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional on call plumbers will rapidly find the issue and remedy it. We even carry a small selection of taps and faucets in their van for you to select from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

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

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

Find a length of twine of some type, and tie it onto the tap spout so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and trickle off quietly.
