What to Do in a Plumbing Emergency
Call us immediately, and we can provide advice over the phone to minimise potential damage before we arrive in Hutton.
When you have a leak or a burst pipe, the first thing to do is locate your mains stopcock and shut off your water supply. Keep turning the stopcock clockwise until it won’t turn any further. This will stop any more water from entering your plumbing system, though water already in the system may still leak out. If you have a radiator leak or burst central heating pipe, the water could continue flowing until the whole system is empty.
To minimise damage, place a bucket or towels around the area of the leak and change them as necessary.
If you have a standard boiler system with a cold water storage cistern (usually in the loft), water may continue leaking until the storage tank is empty. If you feel the storage cistern is still feeding, close the gate valve on the cold water pipe (usually located near the tank). If this doesn’t work, open all your hot taps to help empty the storage cistern.
What to Do in a Gas Emergency
If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, shut off your gas supply with the emergency control valve at the meter, only if it’s safe to do so. Do not smoke, light matches, or use cigarette lighters. Avoid switching electrical appliances on and off, and extinguish any naked flames.
Open all windows and doors and evacuate the property. Call us immediately or another qualified Gas Safe Engineer.
Please do not turn the gas supply back on until a Gas Safe Registered Engineer has inspected it and given it the all-clear.
What to Do in a Carbon Monoxide Emergency
If your carbon monoxide alarm starts beeping, do not ignore it.
If you or any family members experience confusion, dizziness, headache, nausea, or vomiting, phone the emergency services and inform them of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Go outside with everyone else in your home and do not re-enter until the emergency services have assessed the situation and given your property the all-clear.
