For help and advice on how to contain your situation here are some tips below. If you are able to contain the situation we can assist to provide details of our planned services and in most cases can get to you the next working day.
How to contain a leaking joint, pipe or fitting.
If it is possible to access and expose the effected damp area.
The next step is to prevent further damage to your property. Using towels, buckets and in some cases bin liners or, if you have rubble bags even better. Rubble bags are ideal as the lining is tough and flexible to fit in most tight spaces.
You can also you a dish cloth to create a bridge and direct escaping water into a container.
