Help, I’ve got a plumbing emergency!
What should you do when you discover a plumbing calamity? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the electricity at the power panel. Then, try to reduce any more leaking or flooding.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating valve to stop all water to your residence.
Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any time of the day or night. They will be there rapidly to resolve the problem.
While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important things from the area, and mop up any water or position a bucket to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
The primary shutoff valve is usually found on the property perimeter near the road, under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the mains off can save your home from increasing leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your drains are overflowing, you want help quickly. Our after hours Nelson plumbers know how frustrating and damaging obstructed drains can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.
Clogged pipes can cause damage to your abode, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need someone there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.
Whether it’s the kitchen sink that will not empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our same day Nelson plumbers will efficiently identify the issue and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.
In the rare case that we can’t get the blockage completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, our team will find an interim solution to keep you going until we return.
Can I unblock the drain myself?
We suggest trying to clear simple obstructions with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it does not clear the blockage, we do not suggest chemicals as they seldom get the job done well, and can even cause more damage to the drains.
Don’t let a clogged pipe get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We normally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Time to put grubby kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to defrost after a long cold day? Got a pile of of dishes to finish off? It’s difficult to have a proper clean when the water is lukewarm.
If the hot water isn’t hot enough, you want it repaired fast. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can quickly diagnose the problem and get it fixed.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause major damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of your home’s power bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your wallet very rapidly.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Nelson after hours plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can help pick a suitable option for your budget, needs and location. If the whole hot water system needs improvements, our plumbers can arrange to do that in a timely manner as well.
Large and small, buried in the earth or in the floor, wall or roof, the various pipes in your house are a hidden but vital part of everyday life. They bring fresh water to your residence, and take unclean water and sewage out.
Once there is an issue though, it’s the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be worrying stuff, and you want it resolved immediately to prevent damage to your house, your contents and even your well-being.
As soon as you find a leak or burst pipe, phone our after hours plumbers without delay. Our team are waiting to assist Nelson residents right away. While you are waiting for our plumber to get there, it may be useful to turn off the water to the house.
How did the pipe fail?
Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you reside in an older house, they may simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework may have iced up and burst. In a recently built residence, there could be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean pipes might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once they arrive, our 24 hour plumber will diagnose the issue and promptly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of your pipework if required to check for other issues.
Do you live with a problematic faucet? A tap that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just broken?
We’ve seen all sorts of tap problems over the years, and know that even a small drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums at 2am when you’re trying to sleep. What was a minor aggravation, can suddenly become a drastic plumbing emergency.
It’s not only frustrating drips though. Leaks may drive up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need in the vans to halt that leak. Our plumbers carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you need a new one, or can install a temporary one if needed.
As well as providing Nelson with after hours plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too large or little.
The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I temporarily stop them to get some peace and quiet?
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 right then and there for a very acceptable expenditure.
