Protect your London property and avoid unnecessary plumbing problems

There are many emergency plumbers in London who are called to properties where there is an issue with things like burst water pipes or blocked drains.

Calling an emergency drainage company or emergency plumbers can be costly and often is an unnecessary expense should you take some simple precautions to strengthen your water pipes in the home and keep them as clear as possible.

• A common issue for emergency plumbers in London is being called to a property where the water pipes have worn away and become damaged. If you check your water pipes every three months and ensure any eroding or corrosion is promptly dealt with then you will avoid serious plumbing problems at a later date

• Make sure your exposed water pipes in and out of the property are lagged. Should the lagging be wearing away it will need replacing immediately

• Never leave your home for more than three days at a time without setting the timer on your boiler to keep the house heated for short time periods. One of the most common reasons that households returning from a holiday have to call emergency plumbers is because a water pipe has burst. If you leave your home without heating (especially in cold weather) upon your return any sudden heat in the water pipes from turning the boiler on can cause a burst water pipe

If you do happen to experience a burst water pipe you must immediately turn off your water and call an emergency plumber. It is important that you also turn off your electricity at the mains to avoid an explosion when the hot water is draining from your boiler.
