FAQ - Urgent Plumber

I have a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so switch the electricity off at the power box if needed first.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main water valve for your property. If you are unable to locate a main valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time of the day or night. We’ll be at your place as soon as possible to resolve the problem.

While you are waiting, remove any significant possessions close to the leak, and mop up any water or put a bucket to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help, I do not know where the main water shutoff valve is!

You may have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is generally positioned on the property perimeter close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover.
