Tips to fix common emergency plumbing issues
- For a leaky tap, try tightening the packing nut under the handle. Sometimes it just gets a bit loose.
- If your toilet's overflowing, first thing's first: turn off the water supply valve behind the toilet. That'll stop the flow and give you some breathing room.
- A blocked sink? Boiling water can sometimes do the trick for minor blockages. Pour it down and see if it clears.
- Got a burst pipe? Turn off the main water supply to your house immediately! Then call a plumber, it's a job for the pros.
- For a constantly running toilet, check the flapper chain inside the tank. If it's caught or too loose, it won't seal properly.
- If your drain is slow, a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, followed by hot water, can help break down gunk. Let it fizz for a bit before flushing. Hopefully this will clear the pipe and let the drain flow freely.
- Frozen pipes are a nightmare in winter. Keep your heating on low, even when you're out, to prevent them freezing and potentially bursting.
- A leaking toilet base could be a faulty wax ring seal. This is a bit fiddly to fix yourself, so you might want to call a plumber.
- For low water pressure, check your stop tap (usually located on a pipe under the kitchen sink). Make sure it's fully open.
- If you smell sewage, this is a serious problem. It could indicate a broken drain or sewer line. Call a professional plumber right away.
- If your boiler is not turning on to heat your central heating system and the radiator is cold then firstly check the power supply. Ensure the thermostat is set above room temperature and in manual mode.
- Smell gas? It could be a faulty appliance or worse please ring National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999 to carry out a leak detection.
- Radiator cold on the bottom half? There could be air in the pipework. Your radiators need bleeding.
