Emergency plumbing services we handle
If you’re searching for a “plumber near me” during an emergency, dealing directly with the person doing the work can make a stressful situation much easier. Some of the most common plumbing emergencies we attend include:
Burst pipes and uncontrolled leaks
Sudden pipe failures that release large amounts of water and can quickly cause damage to floors, walls and fixtures.
Blocked drains causing overflow or flooding
Drain blockages that stop wastewater from flowing away, leading to backups, overflows or water pooling inside or outside the property.
Sudden water supply issues
Loss of water or inconsistent pressure that affects essential fixtures such as taps, toilets and showers.
Urgent hot water problems
Hot water systems that stop working or begin leaking, leaving the property without hot water when it is needed most.
Roof leaks during heavy rain
Active leaks caused by damaged roofing, flashing or guttering that allow water to enter the building during storms.
Gas-related plumbing concerns
Issues involving gas connections, appliances, or suspected leaks that require immediate safety assessment.
After-hours and weekend call-outs
Emergency plumbing assistance is available outside standard business hours when problems can't wait until the next day. If water or gas is escaping, drains are backing up, or fixtures are no longer usable, it is best to call and get advice as soon as possible.
Emergency plumbing FAQs
-
When something goes wrong, knowing what to expect can make the situation feel more manageable. Our emergency plumbing process is straightforward and focused on getting things under control as quickly as possible.
1. Identify the issue
You call and explain what's happening. Alex will ask a few questions to understand the problem and assess whether it needs immediate attention.
2. Clear advice before arrival
Once we understand the situation, you’ll be advised on the next steps and when attendance is likely. If the issue can be made safer in the meantime, this will be explained clearly.
3. On-site assessment
When Alex arrives, the first priority is to locate the source of the problem and stop further damage. This may involve isolating water or gas and checking connected fixtures or pipework.
4. Immediate repairs
Where possible, repairs are carried out on the spot to restore essential services. If further work is required, this will be discussed before proceeding.
5. Explanation and follow-up
Once the issue is resolved, Alex will explain what caused the problem, what was done to fix it, and whether any follow-up work is recommended to prevent it from happening again. The aim is always to leave you with a safe, working system and a clear understanding of what’s been done. Call now.
-
Always call first and explain what's happening so you can receive specific advice for your situation. As a general guide, you can follow these steps:
If there is a leak or burst pipe, turn off the water at the meter if it is safe to do so
If the leak is isolated to a fixture, turn off the isolation valve at that point
Avoid using fixtures connected to blocked drains
Keep clear of areas where water or gas may pose a safety risk
Every situation is different, so speaking directly with the plumber before taking action is always recommended.
