Questions about this plumbing request
Should I turn the water off for a leaking pipe?
If you can safely identify and operate the relevant isolation valve or stopcock, isolating the water can reduce damage. Do not take risks around wet electrics or inaccessible valves.
Why can the visible water be away from the actual leak?
Water can travel along pipes, joists, walls or ceilings before becoming visible. Tell providers when the leak appears, what fixtures are being used and where staining or dripping is visible.
