A plumbing emergency could be a burst water pipe, or a heating system breakdown, but either way, you need to source an emergency plumber, and the sooner the better. A burst water pipe demands that you shut off the water supply, which should be the very first thing you do, and in the unlikely event you don’t know how to turn off the water supply, find out as soon as you have finished reading this article.

What Constitutes a Plumbing Emergency?

The following scenarios are considered to be a plumbing emergency:

  • Burst water pipe
  • Broken down heating system
  • Blocked drains

All of the above require the attention of plumbers in Colchester, and by storing their emergency number in your smartphone, should the worst occur, you can quickly summon a tradesman to carry out prompt repairs.

Don’t Panic

Of course, your first priority is to limit the damage, and if water is leaking, shut off the water supply at the mains, then call out your local emergency plumber, who should be there within minutes rather than hours. The emergency plumber has a fully stocked mobile unit, so he can handle any emergency situation, and once you’ve briefed him over the phone, he will be well-prepared when he arrives.

Clear the Affected Area

If it is a water leak, then clear everything from the affected area, which will save the plumber valuable time, and if it is a heating breakdown, focus on remaining warm until he arrives. The plumber would carry out a few tests to see what the problem is with the heating and this will enable him to carry out prompt repairs.

With the emergency number safely stored in your smartphone, should you ever experience a plumbing emergency, you know who to call.
