A burst pipe can happen without warning, and when it does, the damage can spread quickly. Acting fast in those first few minutes can make a real difference to your property. At Forte Heating Services, we provide a reliable emergency plumber in Farnham and across the surrounding area, available around the clock when you need us most.
What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?
Not every leak requires an urgent call-out, but some situations cannot wait. A burst pipe, a severe leak from a joint or fitting, a blocked drain that is causing flooding, or a sudden loss of water supply are all examples of plumbing emergencies that need immediate attention. If you are unsure, it is always worth calling us to talk through what you are dealing with.
The First Steps When a Pipe Bursts
The most important thing you can do when a pipe bursts is to turn off your mains water supply immediately. Your stopcock is usually located under the kitchen sink or near the front door. Turning it off stops water from continuing to flow through the damaged pipe.
Once the water is off, turn off your central heating and open the cold taps to drain any remaining water from the system. Move any furniture, electrics, or belongings away from the affected area to reduce the risk of damage. Then call our team so we can get to you as quickly as possible.
Why a Qualified Engineer Matters in an Emergency
Attempting to repair burst pipework yourself can make the situation worse, particularly if the pipe is connected to your central heating system or carries hot water. Our engineers are fully qualified and carry the tools needed to assess and repair burst pipes safely and efficiently. We work quickly to restore your water supply and minimise disruption to your home.
