Leaking Pipes and Drains in Glasgow

It can be quite daunting and frustrating when you discover a leaking pipe in your home. It might be a minor drip-drip leak causing a damp patch on the floor, or it could be a major leak where water is flowing steadily from a pipe, spreading water everywhere.

The initial step in addressing the leak is to shut off your water supply. By halting the flow of water, you immediately reduce the potential damage to your property. Locate your stopcock to turn off the water supply to your home.

Once you’ve stopped the water flow, the first question to address is the type of leak you’re dealing with. In homes across Glasgow, the plumbing and drainage systems can vary significantly depending on the age and style of the property. Older Glasgow homes, such as the sandstone properties in the West End of Glasgow often have a mix of old copper piping and newer plastic pipework. If a pipe is leaking due to metal fatigue (essentially, wear and tear), you may need to replace the entire length of pipe with an identical piece. There are numerous variables to consider, including accessibility. If you’re aware of a leak but can’t locate its source, the next challenge is determining where it’s originating from.

For broken shower repairs in Glasgow, it’s common to have to lift carpets and floorboards to access the leaking pipe.
