Help, I have a plumbing emergency!
What should you do when you find a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If there is water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the electricity at the power panel. Then, attempt to reduce any further leaking or flooding.
If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest access point and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. They’ll be there promptly to solve the issue.
While waiting, remove any important possessions from the area, and mop up any water or place a container to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
I do not know where the main water tap is!
The primary shutoff valve is located on the boundary near the road, under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning this off can protect your residence from more leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.
When your pipes are overflowing, you need help quickly. Our after hours Nelson plumbers understand how overwhelming and damaging clogged drains can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.
Blocked drains can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a professional there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Whether there is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.
With our well equipped vans, we have everything we need on hand to fix almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying problem that requires other equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are finished.
Can I unblock the drain myself?
We endorse trying to clear minor clogs with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it doesn't clear the clog, we don't recommend chemicals as they rarely get the job done well, and may cause more damage to your pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!
We usually take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Time to put muddy kids in the bath? Want a good soak to defrost following a freezing day? Got a few of dishes to finish off? It is difficult to have a proper clean up when the water is cold.
If the hot water is not up to temperature, you want it working again as soon as possible. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can quickly identify the problem and get it fixed.
Did you know around 30% of your household electricity bill powers the hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a lot of damage to your house and to things stored nearby. Don’t let hot water woes harm your pocket, get them repaired fast.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Nelson after hours plumbers right away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a large amount 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 isn’t fixable, our professional team can help in finding the best options for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also tired, we can organise an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.
From the little clean water pipes in your walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your residence are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even remember them until there is an issue.
Usually, we do not even remember them unless something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is usually a major problem that must be resolved urgently before your home, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.
Our after hours plumbers are prepared to be on the scene quickly, so contact us as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can minimise further leaks by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if needed.
Why did my pipe burst?
There are a variety reasons why pipes and taps might break down. If you reside in a very cold location, the pipes may have iced up and ruptured. They could just be old and worn out. They might not have been properly installed to begin with. Tree roots may invade subterranean seals.
Our same day plumbers will identify and repair the damaged pipes or leaks promptly and precisely.
Do you have a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply defective?
Many our clientelle over the years have mentioned how vexing it can be to live with a dripping or busted tap. You might not even be aware of the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it is echoing around your home like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it is a sigificant problem.
Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking tap can escalate the bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot tap. Don’t waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your house, call us now.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need on hand to remedy that leak. The team 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 required.
From after hours plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too extensive or little for our Nelson plumbers. Not only can we repair the leaking taps, the team also offer a wide selection of additional plumbing services.
The drips are keeping me awake, how can I stop them temporarily to get some sleep?
If the drip is not bad enough to need repairing right this moment, you can place a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to diminish the noise. Alternatively knot some string around the faucet spout long enough to rest on the base of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
