Frequently Asked Questions about Emergency tap shutoff in Newton Abbot
Can't you just turn it off?
Isolation valves seize up, stopcocks get stuck, or people don't know where they are. We find them, free them if stuck, and stop the water.
What if there's no isolation valve?
We turn off at the mains stopcock. Then we can add an isolation valve for next time while we're there.
Will the water damage be covered?
Usually by home insurance, yes. But limiting the damage by quick shutoff is essential. Take photos for your claim.
Can you fix the tap too?
Often yes - depends on the problem. We assess once the water is off. Sometimes a repair is quick, sometimes a new tap is needed.
