Emergency Burst Pipe Call-Out: Ceiling Opened Up to Reach the Leak

The problem

A burst pipe can release a lot of water in a short time. When water gathers above a ceiling, the plasterboard can become saturated and unsafe, so acting quickly protects both the property and the people in it.

What we did

• Attended as an emergency call-out
• Investigated the leak and traced it to the burst pipe
• Opened up the ceiling to expose the pipework and gain safe access
• Repaired the burst pipe and checked the system for leaks

The result

The burst pipe was repaired and the plumbing checked, with the ceiling opened up only as far as needed to reach the problem.

If you have a burst pipe or a leak right now, see our emergency plumbing service.
