Urgent Plumber - FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

Safety first! Electricity and water do not mix well, so turn the power off at the breaker box if needed first.

If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the main isolation valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Once that is done, give us a call, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be there shortly to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important things, clean up any water, and place a bucket to catch drips. You also should turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

You might know the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is found on the property perimeter close to the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps also.
