What to Do in a Plumbing Emergency
1st
Turn Off the Water Supply
Locate your main water shut-off valve (usually near the meter) and turn it off to stop further water flow. This is essential for burst pipes, leaks, and overflows.
2nd
Switch Off Electrical Appliances Nearby
If water is pooling near electrical outlets or devices, switch off power to the affected area at the switchboard. Don’t touch anything if water is already in contact with electrical sources — wait for professionals.
3rd
Contain the Water If Possible
Use towels, buckets, or mops to limit the spread of water. If a drain is blocked, avoid using other plumbing fixtures, as water may back up elsewhere in the system.
4th
Call Squires Plumbing
We’ll talk you through immediate steps over the phone and dispatch the closest available emergency plumber to your location.
