Water where it shouldn’t be is never convenient. If you’re in Kenmare or the countryside around it, tell us what has happened and we’ll pass your details to a local plumber. Call Call 089 981 9010 or use the enquiry form.
Before a plumber arrives
- Find the stopcock and turn it off. It’s often under the kitchen sink, in a utility room or near where the pipe enters the house.
- Turn off the electrics at the fuse board if water is near sockets or lights.
- Run the cold taps to drain what’s left in the system.
- Protect the room: lift rugs and valuables and put a bucket under any drip.
Emergencies a plumber can deal with
- Burst or frozen pipes
- A leaking tank, cylinder or pump
- No water, or a private supply that has stopped
- Overflowing toilets and blocked waste
- A heating system that has failed in cold weather
Second homes and holiday lets around Kenmare
Kenmare and the villages around it have a lot of second homes and holiday lets that stand empty for weeks at a time. A small leak in an empty house can run for days. If you look after one, a quick plumber’s check before winter, and the heating left on a frost setting, can save a lot of damage.
What happens next
