While you wait, here is what to do if it is urgent.
Burst pipe (water escaping from a pipe)
- Close the property's main shut-off valve, the stopcock. The City says it is about 1.5 m from your water meter. Turn it clockwise until it stops.
- Keep clear of plug points, appliances and the distribution board if they are wet or water is near them. Switch the power off at the board only if the board, your approach and the floor you stand on are completely dry. If not, stay clear and call for emergency help.
- Take photographs of the damage only if it is safe to do so, then request a quote. Keep clear of any sagging or bulging ceiling.
Smell of gas
- If you can reach it safely, close the gas supply valve. Do not let this delay you.
- Do not switch anything on or off, and keep flames away.
- If it is safe, open doors and windows. Get everyone outside and stay outside.
- From outside, phone your gas supplier. If the smell is strong, or there is fire, call the City's emergency number, 021 480 7700 (107 from a landline).
- Do not use the gas again until a registered gas installer has checked it.
Unexplained water use? Switch off appliances and irrigation, close every tap on the property, do not flush, and write down the meter reading. Wait 15 minutes without using water and read it again. If the number has gone up, water is going somewhere. This is the City's own meter check.
