What counts as a plumbing emergency?
If you’re unsure whether it’s an emergency, here’s a simple rule: If water could cause damage, don’t wait.
I regularly attend emergency call-outs for:
💧 Burst or leaking pipes
🚿 Water leaking through ceilings
🚽 Overflowing or blocked toilets
❄️ No water or no hot water
🚰 Sudden loss of water pressure
If it feels urgent to you, it probably is.
What to Do While You’re Waiting
If it’s safe to do so:
Turn off the stop tap (usually under the sink or near where the water enters the house)
Switch off the boiler if there’s a leak nearby
Catch or divert water to limit damage
If you’re not sure — don’t worry. Call me and I’ll talk you through it.
