If you have a plumbing emergency, you have running water in your house, a split tap washer or burst water heater and  your water meter won’t turn off.

You may be in trouble!

If your meter tap has a tee-head on it, turn it off in a clockwise direction as firmly as you can. Firmly, don’t overdo it.

If your meter tap is missing the tee-head, get a large pair of grips and turn it off in a clockwise direction as firmly as you can. Firmly, don’t overdo it.

Open a garden tap to let out the pressure.

Then call an emergency plumber! 

Check out this video below showing what we do to upgrade your water meter control valve.

Great fun on a hot day!

Where and how to turn off your cold water supply is incredibly simple if you know where it is, before any plumbing emergency arises
