Signs You May Need a Pipe Repair
Some pipework problems are obvious, but others can be harder to spot. If you notice any of the signs below, it is worth getting the issue checked before it becomes worse.
Visible water leaks
Water dripping or pooling around pipework, fittings or appliances should not be ignored.
Damp patches
Damp walls, ceilings, cupboards or flooring may suggest water is escaping from hidden pipework.
Low water pressure
A sudden drop in pressure can sometimes be linked to a leak, blockage or damaged pipe.
Noisy pipework
Banging, dripping or rushing sounds can point to movement, pressure changes or water escaping.
Mould or musty smells
Ongoing moisture from a pipe leak can create damp smells or mould growth.
Stained ceilings or walls
Water marks may appear below bathrooms, kitchens or areas where pipework runs.

What to do if a pipe is leaking
If water is actively escaping, quick action can help reduce damage.
1.
Turn Off the Water
If it is safe to do so, turn off your water supply at the stop tap. This is often found under the kitchen sink, under the stairs, in a cupboard or close to where the main pipe enters the property.
2.
Move Items Away
Move furniture, electrical items and valuables away from the leak where possible. Use towels, bowls or buckets to help contain the water.
3.
Avoid Wet Electrics
If water is close to sockets, lighting or electrical appliances, avoid touching the affected area. Turn off electrics only if it is safe to do so.
