Water escaping right now? Take these steps first.

Move electronics and valuables
Move electrical equipment, furniture and valuables away from the affected area where it is safe to do so.
Contain the water
Use buckets, bowls and towels to collect or absorb water and reduce how far it spreads.

Emergency Plumbing Kettering
When should you call an emergency plumber?
A plumbing problem becomes particularly urgent when water is actively escaping, flooding is occurring, the property has lost its water supply, or the fault could cause significant damage if left unattended. If you're unsure whether your problem needs emergency attention, call and explain what has happened.
Burst or damaged pipe
A burst supply or internal pipe can release a large volume of water quickly and needs prompt isolation and repair.
Active water leak
Leaks from pipework, sinks, toilets, baths, showers or other fittings can cause progressively worse water damage.
Overflowing toilet
A blocked or overflowing toilet can create an immediate hygiene and water-damage problem.
Sudden loss of water
A sudden loss of water or major pressure change may indicate a supply or plumbing fault that needs investigation.
Water near electrics
Water close to electrical equipment requires particular caution. Avoid contact with electrical equipment and seek appropriate professional help.
Serious heating or hot-water fault
For boiler or gas-related problems, the appropriate Gas Safe registered engineer should assess the fault and advise on the safest next step.

Local Plumbing Knowledge
Plumbing emergencies can look different across Kettering homes
Kettering has a mixture of established properties, older housing and newer residential developments. Plumbing systems, pipework layouts and access can therefore vary significantly from one property to another.
Whether the problem is an exposed leaking pipe, a concealed leak, a failed bathroom fitting or an overflowing toilet, the first priority is to identify the source and limit further damage.
Common emergency considerations
- Older pipework and connections
- Concealed pipework behind walls or floors
- Bathroom and kitchen plumbing failures
- Water leaks affecting ceilings or flooring
- Heating and hot-water faults
- Different plumbing layouts between properties
