Fix a leak in Lincoln: the basics

What the job involves

A leak can be anything from a weeping joint under the sink to water coming through a ceiling. A plumber will find where the water is actually coming from (it often travels before it shows), isolate that pipe or fitting, and repair or replace the failed part. Ceiling stains usually mean a bathroom, tank or pipe above, so they will want to look upstairs first.

Safety and good to know

If water is pouring rather than dripping, turn off the stopcock (usually under the kitchen sink or where the mains enters the house) and open the cold taps to drain the pipes. Keep water away from electrics; if it is reaching lights or sockets, switch off the electricity at the consumer unit before anything else.

Where is my stopcock?

In most houses it is under the kitchen sink, in a downstairs toilet, in a cupboard near where the water main enters, or outside under a small cover near the boundary. Turn it clockwise to shut off the water. If it is stiff or won't turn, don't force it; tell the plumber.
