What should I do whilst I wait for an emergency plumber?

While you wait for your emergency plumber to arrive, there are several steps you can take to reduce potential damage and ensure the safety of your home. For example, you can:

  1. Shut off your water supply: Locate your stop valve (usually under your kitchen sink or in an airing cupboard) and turn it off to prevent further water damage from a broken pipe or other major water leak
  2. Turn off your electricity: Leaks near electrical outlets and appliances can be electrical hazards
  3. Contain the water: Take towels, buckets, mixing bowls and any other containers you have and place them in the affected area to prevent water spreading and causing further damage
  4. Move furniture: Move valuable or delicate items away from the affected area to prevent them getting damaged
  5. Ventilate the room: If a clogged sink or sewage backup is creating a bad odour, open windows and switch on fans to improve ventilation

Make sure you communicate with your plumber if the situation escalates before they get there.

I was very impressed with Billy and his colleagues. They were professional, friendly, polite, helpful and reliable. Billy talked me through the problems he found with my roof and gave me several options and prices. We agreed the work and the dates to start and despite the terrible 'Best from the East' weather he managed to complete the job in a good time. I was impressed at the quality of work (very neat) and the tidying up afterwards. Thank you Billy & friends for an excellent job well done!
