Help, I have a plumbing emergency!
What do you do when a plumbing calamity hits? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if needed turn the power off at the power box.
If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest location or at the mains valve outside. If you can’t locate the water main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, at any time of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to solve the problem.
While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any significant things, clean up any water, and place a bucket to catch drips. You also should turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
The main shutoff valve is located on the boundary near the road, normally under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the mains off can save your home from further flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.
We know a clogged pipe can be a serious problem. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged pipe is seldom a happy circumstance. That is why our team of urgent plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.
Clogged pipes can cause damage to your abode, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the issue yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need a plumber there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.
Whether it’s the ensuite sink that will not drain, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our after hours Nelson plumbers will quickly identify the issue and fix it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we require on hand to fix almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that needs other equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are completed.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you have a plunger you can try to clear the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please do not use chemicals as they rarely get the job done properly and the chemicals can ruin the pipes.
Do not let obstructed drains ruin your day. Ring our after hours Nelson emergency plumbers now!
Had a hard day at work and desperately need a toasty warm shower? Time to put the children into the tub? Have a sink-full of dishes to finish off? It is never convenient to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden discover that the water is lukewarm.
When the hot water isn’t up to standard, you want it working again asap. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it resolved.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause major damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about thiry percent of the usual household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your wallet very swiftly.
If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Nelson urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. If you find 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 the existing hot water cylinder is not fixable, our helpful team can assist in finding the best options for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also worn out, our plumbers can organise an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.
From the little fresh water pipes in your floor, walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your home are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. We never even think of them until there’s a problem.
Once there is a problem though, it is the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you need it repaired immediately to prevent damage to your house, your belongings and even your health.
Our urgent plumbers are ready to get to you quickly, so contact our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can reduce further flooding by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if required.
How did the pipe fail?
Pipes and taps can fail for a range of reasons. They may simply be old and worn out. Or they could have frozen in extremely frigid weather and cracked. Tree roots might have forced open underground joints. Or there could be an issue with how the pipes were set up to begin with.
Once the 24 hour plumber is present, they will locate the problems and fix them in a rapid and expert manner.
Do you have a troublesome faucet? A tap that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up defective?
A lot of customers over the years have told us how frustrating it is to have a dripping or broken tap. You might not even notice the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it’s resounding throughout the house like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it’s a major issue.
Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking tap can send your bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot tap. Do not waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your residence, call us now.
Whether you simply want a washer, or a whole replacement faucet, our on call plumbers have the parts that you require. All our vehicles are well stocked with parts and carry a modest choice of new taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we do not have the faucet you need, we can install an interim tap until we find what you desire.
From urgent plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too large or minor for our Nelson plumbers. Not only can we repair your leaking taps, the team can also offer a broad range of additional plumbing services.
How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?
If it’s not annoying enough to need repairing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to dampen the sound. Or tie a length of string around the faucet aerator sufficient to touch the base of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
We have been servicing the Nelson locale for many years, and our reputation for top quality work at an affordable price sees our past clients coming back to us whenever they have a plumbing issue. Our goal is to assist you with all your plumbing needs, regardless of what, where or when.

When you call our emergency line, you will talk directly to a plumber, not an answering service. We may even be able to help you deal with your problem over the phone. If not, we will be there quickly in our fully stocked van to get it resolved as fast as possible.
