so that you can help minimize damage. Lets check
out a few tips that would help you solve plumbing
emergencies during this spring.

TIP 1
Find your Stopcock As most plumbing emergencies
will require shutting off the water supply, being
able to quickly turn off the stopcock in your
home can help avoid many complications. The
stopcock is usually located either near your
water meter or in the street just outside your
house, where the water pipes enter your property.

TIP 2

• Avoiding Overflow
• Clogged pipes can often lead to overflow,
  something that can be quickly alleviated by
  turning on the cold water elsewhere.
• If you have a tap stuck on or a toilet being slow
  to drain, turn on another tap to reduce water
  pressure and slow the flow in the problem area.

TIP 3

• Leaky pipes
• Always check exposed pipes under the toilet, sink
  and those running outside your home for potential
  leaks to reduce damage to your property.
• Make sure your plumbing pipes and vents are clear
  of bird nests, leaves, sticks etc.

TIP 4

• More than just the plumbing
• Electricity plays a big part in many plumbing
  systems and it's definitely something to bear in
  mind.
• Isolating your electricity whenever there's a
  plumbing emergency will help keep you safe until
  you can get the plumber round.
• If you're emptying a hot water system, make sure
  the heating elements in your hot water tank are
  turned off.
• If your washing machine suffers a leak it's time
  to trip your breaker.
