What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?
Not every dripping tap requires an emergency call-out. But some situations demand immediate professional attention. If you are experiencing any of the following, do not wait — call MIK Plumbing right away.
- Burst Pipes — A burst pipe can release gallons of water per minute, causing severe structural damage, flooding, and mould. Turn off your water supply at the mains and call us immediately.
- Gas Leaks — If you smell gas or suspect a leak, evacuate the property and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Then call MIK Plumbing for emergency gas repairs and safety checks.
- Boiler Breakdown — Losing heating and hot water in the middle of winter is more than an inconvenience — it can be dangerous for vulnerable household members. Our boiler servicing and repair team responds rapidly.
- Severe Blocked Drains — Waste water backing up into your home is a health hazard. We clear blockages fast using professional equipment.
- Overflowing Toilets — A blocked or broken toilet that is overflowing needs urgent attention to prevent water damage and unsanitary conditions.
- Major Leaks — Water pouring from a ceiling, behind a wall, or under a sink that cannot be stopped with basic measures.
- No Heating or Hot Water — Complete loss of heating in winter is an emergency, especially for homes with elderly residents, young children, or vulnerable people.
- Radiator or Pipe Freeze — In freezing weather, pipes can ice up and burst. We can thaw and protect your system.
If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us anyway. We will talk you through it and advise the best course of action. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

What to Do While Waiting for the Emergency Plumber
When a plumbing emergency strikes, every second counts. While you wait for MIK Plumbing’s emergency plumber in West Yorkshire to arrive, follow these steps to minimise damage.
- Turn Off the Water Supply — Locate your stopcock (usually under the kitchen sink or where the mains pipe enters your home) and turn it clockwise to shut off the water.
- Turn Off the Heating — If you have a leak near your boiler or radiators, switch off your central heating system to prevent further pressure loss or damage.
- Switch Off Electricity — If water is near electrical sockets, switches, or appliances, turn off the power at the consumer unit (fuse box) immediately.
- Contain the Water — Use buckets, towels, and mops to contain and remove standing water. Place a bucket under active leaks.
- Open External Taps — In freezing weather, open external taps slightly to relieve pressure in frozen pipes.
- Do NOT Use Chemical Drain Cleaners — These can damage pipes and make the problem worse. Leave the job to our professional team.
