When a leak begins spouting, or a drain is blocked, or even the hot water simply is not, the last thing you want is to have to wait for a plumber to arrive. In an urgent plumbing scenario, frequently the longer you wait, the worse things get.
A plumbing emergency can be a major inconvenience, and they have a tendency to occur at the worst possible moment. We all know how annoying it can be, and that’s why we aim to answer your phone and get there as fast as we can, regardless of the time or day.
Our Te Kowai after hours plumbers are waiting for you to ring. We are ready to resolve your problems so that you can return to enjoying life again. Our 24 hour service ensures that you don’t need to wait, so just give us a phone for plumbing assistance, any day of the year.
We have been servicing Te Kowai for years, and our specially trained plumbers have the knowledge, parts and equipment to solve all sorts of plumbing problems fast and effectively. We’ll tidy up any mess we have made before we go.
As well as after hours plumbing, we also do every-day plumbing. If you’ve got a non-urgent plumbing job, call or email our office and we’ll make sure it gets sorted. Our friendly reliable team are ready and waiting to assist you.
What do you do when a plumbing emergency hits? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the power off at the breaker box.
If there is still water leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main water valve for your property. If you’re unable to find a water valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your home to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to solve the issue.
In the meantime, start mopping up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away valuable things from the affected area. If the mains water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
The water main shutoff valve is generally positioned on the boundary near the road, under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the water off can save your home from more leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
We realise a clogged drain can be a major problem. Whether it is the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a good thing. That’s why our crew of after hours plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.
Blocked drains can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the block yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need someone there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.
Whether it is the bathroom sink that won’t drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your garden, our same day Te Kowai plumbers will quickly locate the problem and clear it so that life can get back to normal.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the issue to prevent further damage and return with what is needed as soon as possible.
If you have a plunger you can try to break up the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please do not use chemicals as they rarely do the job properly and the chemicals can ruin your pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!
We generally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Need to put muddy kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to defrost after a wintery day? Got a sink-full of of dishes to take care of? It is difficult to have a proper wash up when the water is not hot.
When your hot water has let you down, give our team a call. Our team will be there quickly to figure out the problem and fix it. From heating elements to faulty 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 large amount, and can cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about thiry percent of the average home’s power bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your wallet very rapidly.
If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Te Kowai after hours plumbers as soon as you can. We will get the hot water working again quickly. 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 you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can help pick a suitable option for your budget, requirements and area. If the entire hot water system requires improvements, we can organise to do that in a opportune fashion as well.
Big or small, buried in the garden or in the floor, walls or ceiling, the pipes in your home are a concealed but important part of your daily life. They bring clean water to your residence, and take unclean water and sewage away.
Usually, we don’t even think about their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it is a major problem that needs to be resolved immediately before the building, your furnishings or even your health are damaged or ruined.
The moment a leak is discovered, give us a ring, and our after hours plumbers will be on their way quickly. Our team are waiting to answer night or day. Before they get there, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to minimise yet more damage.
There are many reasons why pipes and taps can fail. If you reside in a extremely cold region, the pipes might have iced up and cracked. They could simply be aged and dilapidated. They may not have been adequately sealed in the first place. Tree roots may force open subterranean connections.
Our on call plumbers will diagnose and repair the damaged pipes or leaks rapidly and cleanly.
Do you have a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply broken?
A lot of our clientelle over the years have mentioned how frustrating it can be to live with a dripping or broken faucet. You may not even hear the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it is reverberating around your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, suddenly it’s a major problem.
It is not only vexing drips though. Leaks can run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
Whether you just need a washer, or a whole new faucet, our on call plumbers have the parts that you need. All our vehicles are well stocked with parts and have a small selection of replacement taps and faucets to select from if required. If we do not have what you require, we can install a temporary tap until we find what you desire.
From large to small, our Te Kowai after hours plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we provide a broad selection of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.
The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I stop them temporarily to get some peace and quiet?
If the drip is not annoying enough to be worth fixing right now, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to dampen the sound. Or knot a length of string around the tap aerator sufficient to touch the bottom of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
