What should you do when you find a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to turn off the power at the power box. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest isolating valve or at the mains valve outside. If you can’t locate the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the leak from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. They will be there promptly to solve the issue.
While you are waiting, remove any important items from the area, and wipe up any water or put a bucket to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.
You may know it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is generally positioned on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black cover.
