Pipe Leaking? Emergency Plumber in Preston — What to Do Right Now
Leaking pipe? Do this first: find your stopcock (usually under the kitchen sink, or where the mains enters the house) and turn it clockwise to shut off the water. Then call us on 07949 075721 — we're a local plumber based in Bamber Bridge, covering all of Preston, and we'll get to you as quickly as we can.
While you wait
- Put a bucket or towels under the leak and move anything valuable out of the way.
- If water is near light fittings, sockets or the consumer unit, turn the electrics off at the fuse box.
- Open the cold taps to drain the pipes down and take pressure off the leak.
- If it's a pinhole leak, wrapping a cloth tightly around the pipe can slow it until we arrive.
