Burst or cracked pipes
A burst pipe can be the result of lack of maintenance or due to cold temperatures if it freezes. If water in a pipe freezes, it will expand and put your pipes under a lot of pressure.
If a substantial amount of pressure is placed on the pipework, this can create cracks and tears at sensitive areas such as the joint of the pipe.
Our specialist team will minimise any damage that has been caused as a result of burst or cracked pipes by removing excess water and carrying out an efficient pipe repair service.
What are our customers saying?
Dripping taps
Dripping taps can be a costly nuisance to homeowners. Did you know that on average, dripping taps can waste up to three gallons of water per day? This can run up your water bill unnecessarily.
Our expert team can check your taps for damage and replace anything that needs replacing to make sure that your taps work efficiently and water will not be wasted.
Radiator leaks
A leaking radiator if left unchecked can cause damage to your home and become a hazard if it comes into contact with electrics.
Our specialist engineers have the skill and tools to fix radiator leaks quickly and efficiently.
Flooding
If your home has fallen victim to a burst pipe flood, this can be very distressing. If you notice a pipe has burst and is causing flooding, it is vital to call out an engineer as soon as possible to try to minimise the damage.
If you require an emergency service because of flooding, contact us and we will send a member of our team out to help as soon as possible.

Is a leaking overflow pipe dangerous?

Getting an overflow problem rectified quickly is important as many fittings attached to the overflow pipe have not been tested for leak issues which means that leaks can happen without you realising.
A leaking overflow pipe can lead to flooding which is extremely dangerous if it comes into contact with electrics. Make sure you seek expert help if you suspect a leaking overflow pipe.

What happens when a pipe bursts?
-
When a pipe bursts, it can lead to flooding and damage to the property.
-
How do you clean up after pipes burst?
-
The aftermath of a burst pipe can leave a strenuous clean up task in its wake. Make sure you do your best to remove excess water and remove personal items from the affected area.
A dehumidifier is useful for removing moisture from the area.
