Leaking pipe
A pipe that's dripping, sweating, or has a visible split or joint failure.
Quick things to check first
- 1Locate and shut off the nearest isolation valve or the main stopcock.
- 2Place a container and towel to limit water damage.
- 3Photograph the fitting or split clearly, including any surrounding staining.
These are general pointers, not a full diagnosis. For guidance tailored to your exact problem, show us a photo and describe it.
When to call a professional instead
- The pipe is a soldered joint or main supply line
- You can't stop the leak by isolating the valve
