Frequently asked questions
Common questions before booking Dudley's for this type of plumbing work.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Anything causing active water damage or making your home unsafe or unusable — a burst pipe, a major leak, an overflowing drain, a geyser that is leaking, or losing hot water completely. If you are unsure, call or WhatsApp us and we will help you decide.
What should I do while I wait for a plumber?
If water is flowing and it is safe to reach, turn off your main water supply at the stopcock. For a leaking or sparking geyser, switch it off at the electrical board if you can do so safely. Then move valuables away from the water.
