The Plumbing Life Saver, the leading plumber Newcastle-wide, has shared expert tips on what to do while waiting for an emergency plumber. The company recognises that plumbing emergencies can occur unexpectedly, causing inconvenience and disruption to daily activities. To help mitigate the damage, The Plumbing Life Saver recommends the following actions to take while waiting for an emergency plumber to arrive.

According to The Plumbing Life Saver, the crucial first step in a plumbing emergency is turning off the water supply to the affected area to prevent further damage. This could include turning off the main water supply valve to the entire house or shutting off the valve to the specific area of concern. The Plumbing Life Saver advises consulting the property's plumbing blueprint or contacting a professional plumber for assistance.

Clearing the area around the affected plumbing to allow for easy access for the emergency plumber is critical. The Plumbing Life Saver advises moving any furniture, rugs or other items that may impede the plumber's ability to work efficiently. If the issue is a blocked drain, avoid using any plumbing fixtures until the plumber arrives, as this could exacerbate the problem.

Documenting the issue and providing as much detail as possible to the emergency plumber when they arrive will help them diagnose and fix the issue as quickly as possible. Take note of any unusual sounds, smells or leaking water and provide this information to the plumber.

The Plumbing Life Saver advises homeowners against attempting to fix the issue, as this could lead to further damage and potentially increase repair costs. Instead, wait for the emergency plumber to arrive and let them handle the situation with their expertise and specialised tools.
