Before the Plumber Arrives

What to Do First in a Plumbing Emergency

A few simple steps can help limit water damage while you wait for a plumber.

Call and Explain the Fault

Tell us your Musselburgh address, which room is affected, what is leaking or blocked, and when it started.

Isolate Water Where Safe

If it is safe, turn off the affected appliance or your main water stopcock. Do not force a valve that will not move.

Protect the Immediate Area

Move valuables away, use towels or a container to catch water, and keep everyone away from wet electrics or a badly soaked ceiling.

Take Useful Photographs

Take a few clear photos of the leak, fitting or damaged area. They can help us understand the problem before we arrive.

Safety first: stay away from wet electrical fittings, badly soaked ceilings and anything that looks unsafe. Do not take apart hot or pressurised plumbing. If there is an immediate danger, contact the appropriate emergency service.
