Emergency Plumbing Advice for Homes in Cheshire

A burst pipe, serious leak or loss of water can quickly cause damage. This guide explains the first steps for homeowners in Cheshire before a professional plumber arrives.

Turn off the water supply

If it is safe to do so, close the internal stop tap. If you cannot find it, check under the kitchen sink, near the utility area or where the water supply enters the property.

Protect the property

Move furniture and belongings away from the affected area. Use towels or containers to control small amounts of water, but avoid electrical equipment and do not enter areas where water has reached electrical fittings.

Check for heating or electrical risks

If water is near electrical sockets, appliances or the boiler, keep clear and contact a qualified professional. Do not take risks trying to investigate hidden pipework.

Arrange urgent professional help

Explain what has happened, where the water is coming from and whether the stop tap has been closed. Clear information helps the plumber prepare for the visit.
