24 Hour Emergency Plumber In Birmingham – What To Do Before Help Arrives

When a plumbing emergency happens, acting quickly can help prevent serious damage to your home or business. Whether it’s a burst pipe, overflowing toilet, leaking boiler or no hot water, knowing what to do before an engineer arrives can save time, stress and money.

At ASAP 24/7, we provide emergency plumbing services across Birmingham and the West Midlands with fast response times and experienced local engineers available day and night.

Turn Off The Water Supply

If water is leaking heavily, the first thing to do is locate your stop tap and turn the water supply off. This helps reduce flooding and further damage while waiting for an emergency plumber to arrive.

The stop tap is usually found:

  • Under the kitchen sink
  • Near the water meter
  • In a downstairs cupboard
  • Under the stairs

If you are unsure where it is, our team can guide you over the phone.

Try To Contain The Leak

Use towels, buckets or containers to catch leaking water and move valuables away from the affected area where possible.

For burst pipes, turning on taps after shutting the mains off can help drain remaining water from the system.

Turn Off Electrical Appliances Nearby

If water is close to sockets, wiring or appliances, avoid touching anything electrical. In serious situations, switch the power off at the fuse board if it is safe to do so.

ASAP 24/7 also provides emergency electrician services across Birmingham and surrounding areas.
