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.

4.

What causes pipes to leak?

Pipes can leak because of age, corrosion, movement, frost damage, loose fittings, accidental damage or poor installation. The right repair will depend on where the leak is and how badly the pipework is affected.

Can a leaking pipe be repaired?

In many cases, yes. If the damage is limited to one section, the pipework or fitting may be repairable. If the pipe is badly damaged, corroded or repeatedly leaking, replacement may be recommended.

What should I do if a pipe bursts?

If safe, turn off the water supply at the stop tap and move belongings away from the affected area. If water is escaping quickly, contact a plumber as soon as possible.
