What Is Considered a Plumbing Emergency

A plumbing emergency is any situation where water is leaking, overflowing, or causing damage that needs immediate attention. Sometimes a burst pipe or a flooded bathroom, other times it can be something smaller that still needs quick action to prevent bigger problems later on.

Here are some common examples of plumbing emergencies we deal with across Cornwall:

• Burst or leaking pipes – Water spreading quickly through ceilings, walls, or floors.

• Blocked toilets or drains – Especially when there’s only one toilet in the house or waste is backing up.

• No running water – Total loss of water supply to your home.

• Leaking radiators or valves – Causing wet floors or loss of pressure in your heating system.

• Broken stopcock or mains tap – You can’t turn the water off, so the leak keeps running.

• Overflowing tanks or cisterns – Continuous running water from loft tanks or toilet systems.

If you’re unsure whether your situation counts as an emergency, it’s always best to call. We’ll listen, give friendly advice, and if it’s urgent, we’ll be on our way right away — anywhere in Cornwall, 24-hours a day.

What to Do in a Plumbing Emergency

When water starts leaking or flooding your home, the most important thing is to stay calm and take quick, safe steps to limit the damage. Here’s what to do before your plumber arrives:

1. Turn off the water supply
   Find your main stopcock, usually under the kitchen sink, in a utility room, or sometimes outside by the road and turn it clockwise to stop the flow of water.

2. Switch off your electrics if water is near sockets or lights
   If water has reached electrical fittings or appliances, switch off your electricity at the fuse box straight away. Safety always comes first.

3. Move valuables and furniture out of the way
   Protect carpets, belongings, and furniture from water damage by moving them or covering them.

4. Try to contain the leak
   Place buckets, bowls, or towels under any drips to prevent further damage until help arrives.

5. Call an emergency plumber
   Once things are under control, call Rob the Plumber for immediate help. We offer 24-hour call-outs across Cornwall and can usually get to you quickly, day or night.

We’ll talk you through what to do while we’re on our way and make sure everything is safe until we arrive.

Our goal is simple: to get your plumbing emergency under control fast, limit damage to your property.
