Burst pipe or leak in Birmingham?
Escaping water does damage fast. Isolate the supply if you can, then get an engineer booked to find the source and make it safe.
Sound familiar?
If any of these are happening, book a callout. The engineer will find the cause and explain the fix.
- Water dripping through a ceiling or light fitting
- A split or burst pipe, often after a cold snap
- Leaking joints, valves or pipework under sinks
- An overflow pipe that keeps running
- Damp patches, bubbling paint or a rising water bill
- Loss of water pressure alongside a visible leak
While you wait.
- Turn off the water at the stop tap. It is usually under the kitchen sink or where the supply enters the property.
- If water is near electrics or light fittings, switch off the electricity at the consumer unit if it is safe to reach.
- Open the cold taps to drain the system and ease the pressure.
- Move valuables out of the way and contain the water with towels and buckets.
- Take a short video of the leak. It helps the engineer understand the job before arriving.
What happens when we arrive.
Make it safe
Stop the water escaping and protect the property before anything else.
Diagnosis first
The first hour is spent finding the actual fault. If it can be fixed in that hour without costly materials, that is the full cost.
Repair or temporary fix
Where a full repair needs parts, a safe temporary fix can be discussed so you are not left without water.
No surprise costs
If the repair needs extra materials or more time, you are told what it involves and what it costs before any further work starts.

What Birmingham says about Supreme Plumbers.
Burst pipes & leaks questions.
Yes. A burst pipe can release a large amount of water quickly and damage ceilings, floors and electrics. Turn the water off at the stop tap and book an emergency callout.
Check under the kitchen sink, in a downstairs toilet, under the stairs or near the front door. In flats it may be in a utility cupboard. If you cannot find it, call 0121 816 0544 and explain the situation.
Damp patches, a running meter with everything switched off and a rising water bill all point to a hidden leak. Describe what you are seeing in the booking form so the engineer knows what to expect.
