After you have called Emergencyman
Plumbing, normally you will not have long to wait for the
plumber to arrive . It may help to turn off the water untill the plumber gets there.
Before the plumber arrives - The first thing to do in the event of a leak is to turn the cold water off and all heating controls. Usual places to find the stoptap are under the kitchen sink, in the cellar or in the downstairs W.C. Other places to try are behind the washing machine or units in the kitchen, in the garage or in the street under a small metal flap at the end of your drive. When you have found the stoptap turn it fully clockwise (remember, righty tighty, lefty loosey).
You
may need a plumber s spanner to
tighten it fully but be careful not to
break your plumbing. Some plumbing appliances such as cisterns may have a separate tap which turns off with a screwdriver a quarter of a turn. Once you have turned off the cold supply open all hot and cold taps and leave them running. If the leak is from your central heating plumbing do as above but also drain the central heating system. A small drain-off tap may be situated on a downstairs radiator, on the boiler or under the floor. If you are competent to do so attach
a hosepipe and drain making sure to turn the boiler and pump off first.
