Stopping the Leak
Isolating the water supply and stopping the active source of the problem.
Burst pipes, sudden leaks and urgent plumbing faults can cause real damage if left untreated. Tell us what's happening and where you're located, and we'll help you request assistance from a local plumbing professional who covers your area.

Share a few details and we'll help direct your request to a participating local professional. Submitting an enquiry is free and carries no obligation.
Not every emergency plumbing problem looks the same. These are the signs that suggest it's worth requesting professional help.
Sudden bursts or split pipework releasing water quickly into your home.
A leak you can't contain with a bucket or towel and that's getting worse.
A toilet overflowing or backing up and threatening to spill onto floors.
A complete loss of water supply at your taps with no obvious cause.
Water reaching electrics, ceilings, floors or belongings and causing damage.
Cold water or feed tanks overflowing and failing to shut off properly.

A symptom is rarely the whole story. Whether it's a visible fault or a problem hidden behind a wall, under a floor or inside a fitting, understanding the likely cause first helps ensure the right emergency plumbing work is carried out — and reduces the chance of it coming back.
The right approach depends on the problem. A professional can advise what's appropriate for your situation — not every professional offers every method below.

Isolating the water supply and stopping the active source of the problem.

Making a temporary or permanent repair to pipework, valves or fittings.

Checking that waste and drainage systems are flowing and not contributing to the fault.

Diagnosing the underlying cause to help prevent the same fault recurring.
