What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Not every plumbing issue requires an immediate call out, but some problems should be dealt with as soon as possible.
An emergency could include:
- A burst water pipe
- A significant leak that cannot be contained
- A rapidly worsening water leak
- Loss of mains water caused by a plumbing fault
- A serious leak affecting ceilings, walls or flooring
- A failed component causing substantial water loss
- A plumbing problem affecting essential facilities in a commercial property
The important factor is not simply how inconvenient the fault is. Water can cause considerable damage to a property if it is allowed to continue escaping.
Why quick action matters
A leaking pipe does not necessarily remain a small plumbing problem.
Water can spread through floors, ceilings and walls, potentially affecting areas well beyond the original fault. The longer a substantial leak continues, the greater the potential for damage.
This is particularly important for businesses. A plumbing emergency in a hotel, restaurant, office, commercial premises or other workplace can affect staff, customers and normal operations.
Dealing with the underlying fault promptly can help limit disruption and prevent a manageable repair from becoming a much larger problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I have a burst pipe?
If it is safe to do so, turn off the property’s main water supply to reduce further water loss. Try to contain accessible water and move vulnerable belongings away from the affected area.
How do I know if I need an emergency plumber?
A substantial leak, burst pipe, rapidly worsening water loss or plumbing fault that is causing property damage may require urgent attention. If you are unsure whether a problem is an emergency, contacting a professional plumber (0118 230 1268) can help you establish the appropriate next step.
Can a leaking pipe cause serious damage?
Yes. Escaping water can damage flooring, walls, ceilings, fixtures and belongings. Water can also spread into areas away from the original leak. The potential damage depends on the location, volume of water and how long the leak continues.
Should I turn off my water if I have a leak?
If there is a significant leak and you can safely access the property’s main stopcock, turning off the water supply can help reduce further water loss. If you cannot safely reach it, do not put yourself at risk. Arrange professional assistance instead.
What is a stopcock?
A stopcock is a valve used to control the mains water supply entering a property. Turning it off can stop or significantly reduce the flow of mains water through the property’s plumbing system.
Do you deal with commercial plumbing emergencies?
Yes. Alliance CFM provides commercial plumbing services for businesses and other commercial properties.
