What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?

A plumbing problem can become an emergency as the longer it’s left unattended, the greater the property damage it causes, the more danger it poses to health and safety and the less access there is to essential services in your home.

A burst pipe is the most obvious example. A break in a pipe can let out a lot of water very fast, especially if it is a pipe that is connected to your main water supply.

Very badly blocked drains can also be considered urgent if sewage comes into your home. Overflowing toilets, major water leaks and water near electricity should also be treated as urgent.

  • Our emergency plumbers operate 24/7 with same-day service to get to you in time.
  • We provide all services from blocked drains and gas fitting to hot water system repairs and installations, so no job is too big or too small.
  • With years of experience and a local reputation to back us up, we put customer satisfaction and transparency first.

Common Plumbing Emergencies

Burst Pipes

Cut your water supply by turning off your stop-tap, if possible, and then contact an emergency plumber. The sooner your water is stopped, the less your home will be flooded and damaged.

Blocked Drains

Wait for a slow drain, but not for sewage. If your toilet or sink is backing up, get help quickly.

Overflowing Toilets

Stop using an overflowing toilet and turn off the water by pressing down the float. Contaminated water on your floor can do a lot of damage in a short space of time.

Major Leaks

If you have a dripping tap or shower, there is a little rush. If you have a burst pipe somewhere in your home, get help immediately.

No Water

If you wake up in the morning and have no water, there may be a burst hydrant in your area or a repair at your local water station. If your neighbours have water, have a professional assess the issue.

What Should You Do?

If it’s a major break, burst pipe, or main line break that you can access, find and shut off your water main. If it’s water coming from an overflowing toilet in an upper-floor bathroom, find and shut off the shutoff valve for the toilet.

Get furniture and other items out of the water. If it’s near an electrical outlet, or if there is a chance the water level is near electrical appliances plugged in, or if it’s raining outside, don’t go into the basement, open the door leading to the basement, or only turn off power before entering the water yourself.

Now is not the time to try to teach yourself to be a plumber. Some well-meaning people add to the cost of repairs because they try to make their own plumbing repairs.

Why Choose Our 24/7 Emergency Plumbing Services

How Can You Prevent Plumbing Emergencies?

A little bit of watchfulness can lead to tap troubles being nipped in the bud so they don’t spiral out of control.

Don’t dismiss drips, tight operation, or minor leaks. These may all be signs a component is malfunctioning. You can also often help avoid buildup in tap aerators by making cleaning of these areas a part of your regular routine.

If a tap’s hard to turn on, don’t force it with too much pressure. Pressure being transferred to the handle from a stiff fitting may be enough to ruin the parts inside.

In addition, check under cabinetry from time to time. Leaks from fitting connections can happen and cause liquid to remain within a cabinet area until it bubbles over to cause damage.
