What do you do when a plumbing disaster arises? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water don't play well together safely, so if needed turn the electricity off at the breaker box.
If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest location and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot locate the main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once that’s done, give our team a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you shortly to fix the leak.
While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant things from the area, and clean up any water or position a container to catch any drips. If you turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.
The primary isolating valve is generally on the border of your property close to the road. It is usually set in the ground underneath a blue or black cover.
It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to remove a clog yourself. We recommend a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can damage your drains.
