What do I do when a plumbing disaster strikes?
Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so switch the power off at the power box if needed first.
If there is still water leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main water valve for your home. If you’re unable to find the tap to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the problem from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. They’ll be there quickly to resolve the issue.
While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant items close to the leak, and wipe 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.
I don’t know where the main water tap is!
The primary shutoff valve is generally positioned on the boundary near the road, under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the water off can protect your property from increasing flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your drains are overflowing, you want assistance straight away. Our after hours Nelson plumbers know how frustrating and damaging blocked pipes can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.
A blocked drain is a major predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it yourself with a plunger. However if you can not, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to see, or smell!
Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink will not drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll arrive at your abode quickly to solve the problem. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.
In the rare case that we can’t get the clog completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are needed, our team will find a temporary solution to get you through until we return.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you have a plunger handy you can try to clear the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please don't use chemicals as they rarely do the job properly and the chemicals can damage your drain pipes.
Do not let obstructed pipes ruin your day. Ring our on call Nelson emergency plumbers right away!

How did the pipe burst?
Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you own an older house, they may simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have iced up and burst. In a new home, there might be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean junctions could have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
When the same day plumber arrives, they will isolate the problems and fix them in a rapid and professional manner.
Do you own a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether busted?
We’ve seen all sorts of faucet problems over the years, and know that even a minor drip can sound like a woodpecker in the small hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a inconsequential annoyance, can suddenly become a major plumbing emergency.
Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise your bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot tap. Do not waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your residence, call our team now.
Whether you want a whole replacement faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional 24 hour plumbers can efficiently diagnose the problem and resolve it.

From large to small, our Nelson after hours plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we offer a broad range of emergency and general plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
Find a length of twine of some kind, and knot it onto the tap aerator so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and dribble off quietly.
