We recognise that some services take on unexpected forms. Unlike work on bathrooms, central heating systems and boilers, a burst pipe isn’t something we can schedule into a diary. In the event of a plumbing emergency, local property owners can safely minimise damage by following certain steps until one of our contractors arrives.

Plumbing Emergencies | First Steps

The first thing our experts advise is to be more aware of the less obvious signs of a leak. A burst pipe might send torrents of water across the floor, but a leak in the pipework tends to drip water into areas it shouldn’t. If left unfixed, water can cause more damage from drips than from a short, sudden burst. This is particularly true of drips that fall close to electrical power points or appliances.

Be vigilant for dripping sounds and look for damp patches on the floor, walls, and ceilings. The presence of water in any of these areas always requires the attention of emergency plumbers.

If a leak or a burst pipe occurs at your Surrey property, our contractors recommend the following steps:

  • Isolate the Stopcock  

    Homeowners must know where the water stopcock for their property is and should check for its whereabouts if they don’t. Shutting off the water supply drastically reduces the level of damage caused in a plumbing emergency.
  • Open the Taps

    Opening all taps in the home clears the system of water, reduces the potential for damage and provides a safer environment for our team to work in once they arrive at your property to perform a repair.
  • Call D&R Plumbing & Heating Ltd

    Please contact us on 01342 843724 or 07710 008505. Our plumbers arrive at your Surrey property as quickly as possible to address issues promptly.
  • Avoid Electrical Appliances

    This includes avoiding light switches and plug sockets wherever possible. A leak in the pipework can cause water to seep into the electrical system. This presents a risk of electrical shock to those living in the property.
  • Remove Excess Water

    The sooner you mop your property to remove standing water, the less severe the damage to floors, furniture and personal belongings. After mopping, position buckets or bowls underneath any leak points.

After isolating the problem in your Reigate, Horley, or wider Surrey property, our plumbers perform a thorough inspection of the system to identify any further issues. With a clearer picture of the cause of the problem and the damage, we can provide a no-obligation quotation for the repair work and schedule a suitable time to carry it out.
