What Is a Plumbing Emergency?
A plumbing emergency is any situation that:
- Puts your property at immediate risk of damage
- Creates health hazards for you and your family
- Makes essential home systems unusable
Not every plumbing problem needs an emergency call out plumber. A dripping tap can wait until morning. But some problems can’t wait.
Here are the most common situations that need urgent attention:
Burst Pipes
A burst pipe can pump hundreds of gallons of water into your home every hour. This water can:
- Destroy floors, walls, and ceilings
- Ruin furniture and belongings
- Create perfect conditions for dangerous mould growth
- Cause structural damage to your property
The damage gets worse every minute you wait.
Gas Leaks
If you smell gas, this is extremely dangerous. Gas leaks can cause:
- Explosions
- Fires
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
Leave your home immediately. Don’t use any electrical switches. Call the gas emergency line first, then call us for repairs by our Gas Safe registered engineers.
Severe Blockages and Sewage Problems
Blocked drains that cause sewage to overflow create serious health risks. Raw sewage contains:
- Harmful bacteria
- Disease-causing viruses
- Toxic chemicals
This contamination can make you and your family very sick.

Complete Water Loss
While not always dangerous, losing your water supply completely is an emergency for most families. You need water for:
- Drinking and cooking
- Basic hygiene
- Toilet flushing
- Cleaning

What to Do in a Plumbing Emergency: Your Step-by-Step Guide
While you wait for our team to arrive, follow these steps to minimize damage:
Find your main water stop tap. It’s usually:
- Under the kitchen sink
- In a cupboard near the front door
- Outside near your water meter
- In the basement or cellar
Turn it clockwise (right) until it stops. This cuts off water to your entire home.
Source: WaterSafe guidance on emergency water shut-offs. https://www.watersafe.org.uk/check_fix_leaks/
If you have a combi boiler, turn it off at the unit. If you have a separate hot water cylinder, turn off:
- The immersion heater switch
- The central heating system
- Any boiler controls
This prevents your heating system from being damaged by lack of water.
If water is near any electrical outlets, switches, or appliances:
- Go to your fuse box immediately
- Turn off the main electrical supply
- Don’t touch any wet electrical items
Water and electricity can kill. Your safety comes first.

Don't Wait - Every Second Counts
A small leak becomes a flood. A minor blockage becomes a sewage disaster. What seems like a manageable problem can quickly become a catastrophe costing thousands of pounds.
Research shows that water damage spreads rapidly through building materials. Within 24 hours, mould can begin growing in damp areas. Within 48 hours, structural damage may begin.
Source: Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification research on water damage progression. https://iicrc.org/standards/iicrc-s500/
The cost of emergency repairs is always less than the cost of major water damage, structural repairs, and mould remediation.
Don’t gamble with your home and family’s safety. Don’t hope the problem will fix itself or wait until morning.
We’re standing by right now, ready to help. Your emergency is our priority.
