Do This First
What to do if water is escaping
- Turn off the water supply if it is safe to do so. Your stopcock is commonly under the kitchen sink, in a utility room, bathroom or under the stairs, although some properties have an external stopcock.
- Move valuables and electrical equipment away from the affected area. Do not touch electrical equipment or enter unsafe areas where water has reached electrics.
- Contain the water where practical. Use towels, bowls or buckets to reduce further spread while you arrange professional help.
- Call Normz on 07947 659152. Explain what has happened, where you are in Northampton and whether the water is still escaping.
Is This Urgent?
What counts as a plumbing emergency in Northampton?
Some plumbing faults can wait for a planned appointment. Others can cause rapidly increasing water damage or create a safety concern. As a general guide, an issue deserves urgent attention when:
- A pipe has burst or split and water is escaping
- You have a major or rapidly worsening water leak
- Your toilet is overflowing or leaking heavily
- A leak is coming through a ceiling or near electrical equipment
- A tap or fitting will not shut off and is releasing significant water
- A radiator or heating pipe is leaking water
- You have suddenly lost your water supply and suspect a plumbing fault
- You are concerned about a serious leak that you cannot isolate safely
Not sure whether your problem is urgent? Call 07947 659152 and explain what you can see. We can discuss the situation and the appropriate next step.

Why It Matters
Why plumbing emergencies should be dealt with promptly
A plumbing emergency is not just an inconvenience. The longer active water escapes, the greater the potential for damage to flooring, walls, ceilings, furniture and other parts of the property.
Water damage
Leaks and burst pipes can allow water into floors, walls, ceilings and furnishings. Prompt isolation and repair can help limit the extent of damage.
Damp and mould risk
Persistent moisture can create damp conditions that may encourage mould growth if affected areas are not properly dried and repaired.
Water wastage
Running toilets, dripping fittings and ongoing leaks can waste water continuously. Fixing the underlying fault can prevent unnecessary ongoing usage.
After The Emergency
How to reduce the risk of another plumbing emergency
Once the immediate problem has been dealt with, a few practical checks can help reduce the chance of another plumbing emergency developing.
Regular plumbing inspections
Check visible pipework, valves, joints and fittings periodically, particularly in older properties or areas where previous leaks have occurred.
Keep an eye on water pressure
Unusually high pressure can put additional strain on plumbing components, while a sudden drop in pressure can indicate another issue that needs investigation.
Prepare exposed pipework for winter
Insulating vulnerable pipework can reduce the risk of freezing during cold weather, which can contribute to burst pipes.
Fix small leaks early
Drips, weeping joints, running toilets and leaking traps should not simply be ignored. Small faults can develop into more disruptive problems.
