Question 2

What counts as a plumbing emergency?

Accepted Answer

A plumbing emergency includes burst or leaking pipes causing water damage, no heating or hot water in cold weather, a suspected gas leak, a blocked drain causing sewage backup, a failed boiler or heating system, and any situation where immediate action is needed to prevent injury or serious property damage.

Question 3

How quickly can an emergency plumber reach me in Somerset?

Accepted Answer

On Tap Plumbing and Gas aims to reach Taunton within one to two hours for most emergency calls. Response times to towns further within the 30-mile Somerset radius such as Bridgwater, Yeovil or Minehead may be two to four hours depending on current workload and traffic. Call 07522 094659 for an estimated arrival time.

Question 4

What should I do if I have a burst pipe before the plumber arrives?

Accepted Answer

If you have a burst pipe, locate your main stopcock (usually under the kitchen sink or where the water supply enters the property) and turn it clockwise to shut off the water supply. Turn on cold taps to drain remaining water from the system. Turn off your boiler and immersion heater. Then call On Tap Plumbing and Gas on 07522 094659.

Question 5

What should I do if I smell gas at home in Taunton?

Accepted Answer

If you smell gas, do not operate any switches or electrical devices. Open windows and doors to ventilate the property. Leave the building immediately. Do not use a mobile phone inside the property. Call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 from outside. Once the emergency service has attended, call On Tap Plumbing and Gas for any required Gas Safe repair work.
