What To Do In an Emergency

Plumbing and heating

Plumbing and heating emergencies can occur at any time. It usually happens when least expected. It’s always advised to call a heating engineer for your central heating as they are qualified and Gas Safe registered.  However, there are always things you can do to minimise further damage while you wait for the professionals.

Turn off the water

Ensure that your water is turned off – for faulty pipe emergencies, the first thing to do would be to shut down the water. Depending upon the nature of the emergency situation. If it is a minor pipe issue, potentially in the toilet, it’s advised to turn off the water as toilets can get messy if water is left to continue to flow.

Examine the water heater

Most emergencies will require the water heater to be turned off. This is to protect against damages to the device. To avoid overheating or bursting a valve you can shut off the primary water valve. The gas must be shut off first if your heating system is operated by gas.

Control little leaks

Controlling small leaks is relatively easy. Once the small leak has been spotted you can wrap it with a towel, tape or cloth. Sometimes placing a container underneath the pipe can work well. This will suffice until the technician arrives.

Listen to the Technician

Many times when an emergency occurs people may try to solve the problem themselves. In some cases, this can make the problem worse. Regardless of how small or insignificant something may feel, always try to call a plumbing professional during an emergency situation. You will certainly get aid as well as suggestions.
