Emergency Plumbing Exeter

Plumbing emergencies rarely happen at a convenient time. Trident Plumbers Exeter provides emergency plumbing in Exeter around the clock, so there is someone to call when a pipe bursts late at night or a leak appears over a weekend.

Our first job is to stop the water and make the area safe. Then we find the cause, explain it in plain terms and carry out a proper repair.

With more than 36 years in plumbing and building work, we have dealt with most of the faults a home can throw up.

24-hour callouts for burst pipes, leaks and overflows


Burst and Frozen Pipes

Cold snaps, ageing joints and accidental damage can all split a pipe.

Water from a burst spreads through ceilings and floors quickly, so turn off the stopcock if you can and keep clear of anything electrical in the wet area.

We locate the damaged length, replace it with new pipework and test the run for leaks. In lofts and under floors we will also tell you if the pipe needs better protection from frost.

Emergency Plumbing Services

Our emergency plumbing service covers any fault that is letting water escape or stopping your plumbing from working. We carry common pipe and fittings, so many repairs can be finished there and then.

If a part has to be ordered, we make the system safe and watertight first and come back to complete the job.

Burst Pipes

A split pipe needs fast action to limit water damage.

We isolate the supply, cut out the damaged section and fit new pipework, then check the joints on either side.

Leaks Through Ceilings

Water coming through a ceiling usually points to a leak in the room or loft above.

We trace it back to the pipe, fitting or appliance at fault and repair it, so you can start drying out.

Taps That Will Not Turn Off

A tap that keeps running or a valve that has seized can waste a lot of water.

We isolate it, replace the worn washer, cartridge or the whole tap as needed, and restore the supply.

Appliance Leaks

Washing machines and dishwashers can leak from hoses, valves or waste connections.

We find where the water is coming from, repair or replace the connection and check the appliance runs without leaking.

Radiator Leaks

A weeping radiator valve or a corroded radiator can mark floors and the ceilings below.

We repair or replace valves and radiators so your heating can run without the drip.

Blocked Waste Pipes

Sinks, baths and showers that drain slowly or back up need clearing before they overflow.

We clear the blockage and check the pipework so water drains away freely again.

The cause explained clearly before any repair begins

Making Your Home Safe First

When water is escaping, the priority is to stop it.

Trident Plumbers Exeter shows you where your stopcock is, isolates the affected part of the system and points out anywhere water may have reached light fittings or sockets, so they can be checked.

Once the leak is contained, we explain what has happened and what the repair involves, so you can decide on the next steps with a clear picture.
