Emergency Plumber Bexley

What counts as a plumbing emergency

When water, gas or sewage ends up somewhere it should not be, treat it as an emergency. These are the calls we answer most often across Bexley:

• A burst or split pipe flooding a kitchen or ceiling cavity
• A blocked sewer overflowing through floor wastes or the outside gully
• A blocked toilet in a one-bathroom home
• The smell of gas anywhere on the property
• A hot water tank leaking from the base
• An overflow that pours water and will not stop

Many Bexley homes are Federation cottages and post-war full-brick houses that still run aged copper and galvanised pipework, and that older plumbing can fail without much warning. In the brick walk-up flats a single split pipe can flood two units below within minutes. If you are unsure whether your problem qualifies, call us anyway and we will help you decide.

Dial Up Plumbing sends an experienced crew in a fully stocked vehicle, so we finish most urgent repairs in a single visit.

What to do while you wait

A few minutes of sensible action can save you thousands in water damage:

• Burst pipe or major leak: turn the water off at the main. In most Bexley houses the stop valve sits at the front boundary near the water meter, and in flats it is usually in the laundry or bathroom
• Suspected gas leak: turn the gas off at the meter, open windows and doors, avoid light switches and flames, and wait outside
• Overflowing toilet: close the small isolation valve on the wall behind the cistern
• Leaking hot water unit: switch off its power at the breaker for electric units or turn off the gas tap, then close the cold water valve feeding the tank

Then leave the rest to us.
