A small drip wastes litres of water a day, and a burst pipe can damage floors and walls fast. Here is what to do while you wait for a plumber.
Turn off the water
Find the valve under the sink or behind the toilet and turn it clockwise. For a bigger leak, close the main valve near the water tank or meter.
Protect the area
Put a bucket under the leak, move electrical items away and soak up standing water with old towels.
Take photos
Photograph where the water comes from: the tap base, a joint, under the sink or a wall patch. Photos help the plumber understand the job before arriving.
Do not over-tighten
Forcing a tap or joint can crack old fittings and make the leak worse. A temporary wrap of plumber's tape is fine; leave the rest to the professional.
Book the right service
On the Waayzy app, choose Plumbing and pick the closest match, such as Tap Repair, Leakage Repair or Burst Pipe Repair. Add your photos and notes, agree the price and confirm.
