Does Your Plumbing Problem Need Urgent Attention?
Some plumbing faults can be scheduled for a convenient appointment, while others need more immediate attention because of the risk of water damage, loss of essential facilities or unsafe conditions.
Seek urgent advice if:
- Water is escaping rapidly from a pipe or connection.
- A leak is affecting ceilings, walls or electrical areas.
- A toilet is overflowing and cannot be stopped.
- A leak cannot be isolated using the available valves.
- Water damage is spreading through the property.
A slow drip from a tap or a minor issue that can be safely contained may not require the same level of urgency, although it should still be addressed.
If water is entering an area containing electrical equipment, keep clear and seek appropriate assistance. Do not attempt repairs that could expose you to electrical hazards or pressurised water.
What to Do When You Have a Plumbing Emergency
When water is leaking or a plumbing fixture overflows, taking sensible precautions can help limit damage while you arrange assistance.
Plumbing Problems That May Need Urgent Attention
Burst Pipes
A burst pipe can release water quickly and damage flooring, walls, ceilings and belongings. If it is safe, isolate the water supply and explain the location and severity of the leak when seeking assistance.
Leaking Pipes and Connections
Leaks beneath sinks, behind appliances or around pipe joints may start small but can cause damage if they continue. The source needs to be identified before the appropriate repair can be determined.
Overflowing Toilets
An overflowing toilet can create an unhygienic environment and damage nearby flooring. If possible, stop further flushing and isolate the water supply using the appropriate valve if it is safe to do so.
Major Tap or Valve Leaks
A failed tap connection or leaking valve may allow water to escape continuously. If the leak cannot be stopped safely using the relevant isolation valve, seek professional assistance.
Leaking Showers and Bathroom Pipework
Leaks around showers, baths and bathroom pipework may affect adjoining rooms or ceilings below. The visible water may not identify the exact source, so investigation may be necessary.
No Water or a Sudden Loss of Water Supply
A loss of water can result from a local plumbing issue, an internal valve or a wider supply interruption. Check whether neighbouring properties are affected and whether your water supplier has reported an outage before assuming the problem is within your home.
How We Approach an Urgent Plumbing Enquiry
Urgent Plumbing Problems in Rental Properties
A plumbing leak or failed toilet can quickly become a concern for tenants and landlords, particularly when water is affecting the property's structure or essential facilities.
When a tenant reports a plumbing problem, ask them to explain the location of the fault, whether water is still escaping and whether the supply has been safely isolated. Photographs may also help establish the nature and extent of the issue.
Landlords should respond appropriately to reports of leaks and plumbing faults, considering the potential damage, tenant safety and the responsibilities that apply to their property.

Emergency Plumbing FAQs
What should I do if a pipe bursts in my house?
If safe, turn off the water at the stopcock and move belongings away from the affected area. Keep clear of wet electrical equipment and arrange appropriate plumbing assistance. Do not attempt a repair if it would put you at risk.
Can I use my toilet if it keeps overflowing?
Avoid flushing again if the toilet is overflowing. If safe, isolate its water supply using the relevant valve. Seek assistance if the overflow continues or the cause is unclear.
Should I turn off my water if I have a leak?
If water is escaping and you can safely reach the stopcock, turning off the supply may limit further damage. If the leak is near electrical equipment or the area is unsafe, keep clear and seek appropriate assistance.
What should I do if water is leaking through a ceiling?
Keep people away from the affected area, especially if the ceiling is bulging or sagging. Do not touch nearby electrical equipment or enter an unsafe area. If the leak is from your property and it is safe to do so, isolate the water supply and arrange assistance.
