What To Do In Case Of A Burst Pipe
After calling us of course we don’t require you to do any of the following, but it is best practice and helps make our jobs a little bit easier. If you would rather wait until we arrive that’s fine too!
Call Our Emergency Hotline
Call us on 0207 386 8888 – we’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Turn Off The Main Stop Tap
If you can, turn off the main stop tap where the water enters your property – it’s often under the kitchen sink.
Turn Off The Stopcock
If you have a cold water tank, turn off its stopcock to stop more water feeding the burst.
Drain The System
Switch on the taps and flush the toilets to drain down the system. Turn on the hot taps too.
Switch Off The Electrics
In case of water reaching wiring or fittings, switch off the electrics to avoid electrocution.
