What to Do While You Wait
While you’re waiting for Paul to arrive, there are a few simple things that can help limit the damage:
Turn off your water at the mains. The stopcock is usually near your water meter. This won’t fix the problem but it’ll stop water from making things worse.
Turn off your hot water system. If the emergency involves your hot water unit, switching it off at the power or gas supply can prevent further damage to the unit.
Move valuables out of the affected area. If water is spreading, move anything you can β furniture, electronics, documents β away from the wet area.
Take photos. If you’ll be making an insurance claim, photos before the repair are really useful.
What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?
Not every plumbing problem needs an urgent call-out β but some absolutely do. If you’re dealing with any of the following, don’t wait until business hours:
Burst or broken pipes β A burst pipe can dump hundreds of litres of water into your walls, floors, and ceiling in a very short time. Shut off your water at the mains and call straight away.
No hot water β Especially in winter, a hot water failure isn’t just uncomfortable β it can signal a larger problem with your system, like a faulty pressure relief valve or a gas leak.
Gas leaks β If you can smell gas near your hot water system or appliances, leave the building, don’t use any switches or flames, and call immediately. Paul is gas-licensed and can make your home safe.
Sewage or drain backups β Raw sewage coming up through drains or toilets is a health hazard and needs urgent attention.
Flooding from appliances β Washing machines, dishwashers, and hot water units can fail suddenly and cause serious water damage if not shut down quickly.
Overflowing toilets β If your toilet won’t stop running or is backing up, it can quickly become a much bigger mess.
When in doubt, call. Paul would rather you check in and find out it can wait than have you dealing with a flooded bathroom at midnight on your own.
