Burst Pipes
Burst pipes and leaky plumbing fixtures can cause a lot of damage if your home becomes flooded or a leak isn’t noticed for some time. In this instance turn off the water supply at your stopcock or shut off valve. If you have a smaller isolation valve leading to the area you can use this so you can continue to use water in other areas of the house, but sometimes it is just easier to use the stopcock and turn off the household water completely. Give us a ring and our local emergency plumbers will get to you as soon as they can. Broken appliances Broken down gas appliances can cause a lot of worry or stress. Especially if it is a boiler and it is your only source of heat. This is made worse if you have elderly people, ill people or children in the house.
