What to do if you have a Plumbing Emergency

Emergency Plumbers Wellington

Wellington Plumbers, Paramount Plumbing, are emergency plumbers in Wellington, PoriruaLower Hutt and Upper Hutt.

If you have a plumbing emergency in Wellington, here are five things you can do:

Turn off the Water

Quick Tip: Locate the “toby” on your property’s boundary. This valve shuts off the water supply and prevents further damage. 

Make sure you know where to turn the water off on your property. The “toby” is typically located near the front boundary of your property.

Identify the Source of the Problem

Why It Matters: Understanding the issue helps you explain it clearly to the plumber, expediting the repair process. Look for visible leaks, wet patches, or unusual sounds like hissing or gurgling. 

If you suspect the problem is related to gas, such as your gas hot water system, please tell us when you call. We have great success with Rinnai Infinity gas hot water systems,

Be Prepared to Pay

Why It’s Necessary: Emergency call-outs and repairs are often outside regular hours, requiring your plumber to leave their job or their warm, cosy bed! These incur additional costs. Be ready to compensate for the rapid response and expert service. At Paramount Plumbing & Gas, our pricing is transparent, and we’ll provide a quote before starting any work.

Exercise Patience

Why It’s Important: Plumbing emergencies can be frustrating, especially with travel times to areas like the Hutt Valley or Porirua. Trust your plumber to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We strive to keep you informed about the progress and estimated completion time.

Additional Considerations:

  • Availability of Parts: Sourcing specific parts may take time, depending on the repair. For example – if we have to replace your hot water cylinder, it might take 24-48 hours to source the right model for your home. Your patience is appreciated during this time. We aim to source high-quality parts quickly to ensure long-lasting repairs.
  • Peace of Mind: Professional repairs come with warranty coverage, ensuring the job is done right the first time. Our workmanship is guaranteed, giving you peace of mind.
  • Preventing Future Problems: After resolving the emergency, our plumbers can provide advice on how to avoid similar issues in the future. This may include regular maintenance tips or identifying potential problem areas in your plumbing system.
