Residential Emergency Call Out: Burst Pipe Case Study

We were recently contacted for an emergency call out of for a suspected burst pipe at a domestic property in Sheffield, after the tenant noticed a large amount of water leaking from beneath their wheelchair ramp. Our engineer, Mark, was on his way within an hour of receiving the call to investigate the issue in his fully equipped shiny green van!

When Mark arrived at the property, it was clear that the property had a burst pipe lurking underneath the wheelchair ramp. We knew this would unavoidably require an excavation, so we wanted to make sure we carried out the works quickly without causing any disruption to the tenant. The Metro Roid team will always try and locate the exact whereabouts of a burst pipe before digging!

Once we located the Burst Pipe, we isolated the water supply and began digging up the area, avoiding the pathway and wheelchair ramp. As soon as the water supply was reconnected, a big surge of water leaked from the pipe, which we fixed with a ‘Slide n Seal’. A couple of days later, an engineer returned to reinstate the flag stones back to the original condition, so everything was exactly how it was before the burst pipe.

This burst pipe could have caused a lot of damage but luckily, the client called us as soon as they noticed the leaking water, so we were able to prevent any damage to the property. Metro Rod South Yorkshire fix burst pipes every day across Doncaster, Rotherham, Barnsley & Sheffield. We always aim to provide a fast and reliable plumbing service to all our clients, both domestic and commercial.
