What is classed as a plumbing emergency?+
A plumbing emergency is a fault that risks immediate water damage, health or safety, or leaves you without essential facilities. Examples include a burst pipe, uncontrolled leak, sewage backing up indoors or a blocked toilet when it is your only one. Loss of heating can also be urgent in cold weather, especially for vulnerable occupants. Isolate leaking water if safe. If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 first.

Why are emergency plumbers so expensive?+
Emergency plumbing costs reflect the need for rapid attendance, urgent fault diagnosis and the skills and equipment needed to stop damage safely.

How urgent is a burst pipe?+
A burst pipe needs immediate attention because escaping water can quickly damage ceilings, floors and electrical installations. Turn off the internal stopcock if safe, then open a cold tap to help drain the pipework. Avoid wet switches, sockets and sagging ceilings. An engineer will locate the break, repair or replace the damaged section and check for further leaks. For urgent help in Wandsworth, call Emergency Plumber London on 07307 202652.
Why would a pipe suddenly burst?+
A pipe can suddenly burst because of freezing, corrosion, excessive water pressure, a weakened joint or accidental damage. What looks sudden may follow years of hidden deterioration. Repeated banging, known as water hammer, can also strain joints. If water is escaping, isolate the supply if safe and avoid nearby electrics. An engineer can repair the break and investigate the underlying cause, including checking pressure and the condition of surrounding pipework.
What is the 135 rule in plumbing?+
There is no universally recognised plumbing rule called the “135 rule”. You may be referring to a 135-degree waste-pipe bend, which changes the direction of flow by 45 degrees. Gentler changes of direction can help drainage flow and access for clearing blockages. The correct fitting depends on the pipe layout and applicable installation requirements.
