Has your kitchen tap turned into a fountain? Has the bathroom started overflowing at an inappropriate time? No hot water, just as the mother-in-law is due to arrive? Do not let a leak, burst pipe, broken faucet or hot water heater destroy your plans.
Plumbing problems are not pre-booked or convenient. There are a lot of ways that a plumbing emergency can cause havoc, and that’s why we strive to be there as quickly as possible, even if it’s public holiday or after hours.
No matter what the time is, call us and our On Call plumbers will respond straight away. We will get there fast, and resolve your Howden after hours plumbing issues efficiently and speedily so that your life can return to normal.
We’ve been servicing Howden for years, and our specially trained plumbers have the knowledge, parts and equipment to resolve all sorts of plumbing jobs fast and efficiently. We’ll clean up any mess we make prior to leaving.
As well as after hours plumbing, we also do every-day plumbing. If you’ve got a non-urgent plumbing job, phone or email our office and we’ll make sure it gets sorted. Our friendly reliable team are ready and waiting to serve you.
What should you do when you find a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to turn off the electricity at the switchboard. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
If there is water still leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main shutoff valve for your property. If you’re unable to find the water valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the residence to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. They will be there rapidly to resolve the issue.
While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start mopping up any water, position a bucket to catch drips, and remove significant possessions from the area. If the mains water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
You might have been shown the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is found on the boundary near the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet bowl.
When your pipes are overflowing, you want assistance fast. Our after hours Howden plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.
A obstructed drain is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it with a plunger. But if you can not, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether it’s the ensuite sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our 24 hour Howden plumbers will quickly locate the obstruction and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the issue to minimise further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as we can.
We endorse trying to clear simple obstructions using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it doesn't clear the clog, we don't suggest chemicals as they rarely get the job done well, and may cause more damage to the drains.
Don’t let a clogged drain ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We normally take having hot water for granted, until it is not working correctly. Need to put grubby kids in the bath? Need a good soak to warm up following a freezing day? Got a sink-full of of dishes to finish up? It is difficult to have a good wash when the water is cold.
When your hot water has fallen short, give our team a ring. We will be there quickly to diagnose the issue and fix it. From heating elements to defective thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can repair them and get you back to normal life.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about thiry percent of the usual household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your pocket very rapidly.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Howden after hours plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water flowing 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 replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking a suitable option for your budget, requirements and location. If the whole hot water system needs improvements, our plumbers can organise to do that in a opportune manner as well.
The pipes in your house are a generally unseen but very important part of daily activities. Large or small, in the ground, within the walls or the roof, they carry clean water to your home and take the used stuff away.
Normally you don’t even think about them. Not until something goes wrong, and suddenly we are looking at a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be fixed asap, to prevent damage to your home, belongings and health.
Our after hours plumbers are ready to get to you quickly, so ring our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can cut back further damage by turning the water off at the mains tap if required.
Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a variety of reasons. They may simply be old and dilapidated. Or they may have frozen in extremely frigid weather and ruptured. Tree roots could have grown into subterranean connections. Or there could be an issue with how the pipes were installed in the first place.
Our same day plumbers can identify and fix your damaged pipes or leaks quickly and professionally.
Do you live with a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply broken?
Many our clientelle over the years have mentioned how frustrating it can be to have a dripping or defective tap. 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 sigificant issue.
Not only can it keep the whole house awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it is hot water. Don’t let the bills rise higher, or maybe even cause damage to your house, contact our emergency plumber now.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need in the vans to resolve that leak. Our plumbers carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you need a replacement, or can install a temporary one if needed.
From big to small, our Howden after hours plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a wide range of urgent and day to day plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
Find a length of twine of some kind, and knot it onto the faucet aerator so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the twine and flow off quietly.
