Emergency plumbers: renters vs homeowners

If you're a homeowner:

You're usually responsible for all plumbing in your property, including emergencies. It's worth checking your home insurance too, in case the damage is covered.

If you're renting:

It's typically your landlord's job to sort emergency plumbing repairs. Contact them (or your letting agent) as soon as you notice an issue, especially if it affects your heating, hot water or sanitation.

If it's urgent and you can't reach them, take photos, call an emergency plumber, and let your landlord know what's happened.
