In a plumbing emergency, such as a burst pipe or major leak, the first step is to turn off the main water supply to prevent further damage. Once the water is off, contact a plumber as soon as possible for emergency repair services. It’s also a good idea to shut off electricity if the leak is near any electrical outlets or appliances to prevent accidents. While waiting for the plumber, try to clean up any excess water to minimise damage to floors and furniture.

Backflow prevention devices are installed to stop contaminated water from flowing back into clean water supplies. These devices are especially important in commercial properties where water contamination risks are higher due to more complex plumbing systems. Backflow can occur when water pressure changes, causing water from potentially harmful sources, like industrial chemicals or waste, to reverse into the potable water supply. Most commercial properties are legally required to have backflow prevention devices installed and maintained to comply with health and safety standards.

Cleaning gutters regularly helps prevent blockages, leaks and water damage. When gutters are clogged with debris like leaves, twigs or dirt, water can overflow and seep into the roof or walls of your home, leading to structural damage and mould growth. Additionally, standing water in gutters can attract pests like mosquitoes or rodents. Regular gutter cleaning, especially in autumn when leaves fall, ensures water can flow freely and protects your home’s foundation and roof.
