Frozen Pipes

If a pipe has burst

The first thing you must remember to do is to turn off the water at the main stop valve.

  • Begin thawing the pipe from the tap side of the frozen area, by warming it gently, and work back towards the header tank.
     
  • Switch off the central heating and any other water heating installations at the same time, to avoid further damage, or even an explosion.
     
  • Open all your taps to drain the system.
     
  • If water is coming through the ceiling, collect it in buckets. If the ceiling starts to bulge, pierce the plaster with a broom handle to let the water through.
     
  • If your wiring or any electrical appliances have been affected, do not touch them until they have been checked by a professional electrician. If in doubt, turn off your electricity at the mains.
     
  • Contact your insurance company's helpline, to advise you on contacting a professional plumber to make repairs, and provide you with advice on making a claim.
