Fast Response Emergency Plumbing When You Need It Most
Plumbing emergencies rarely happen at a convenient time. A burst pipe, leaking water cylinder, damaged pipework, or sudden water leak can quickly cause significant damage to your property if not dealt with quickly.
At Jack The Plumber, we provide fast, professional emergency plumbing support for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, and small businesses across Solihull and South Birmingham.
With over 35 years of hands-on plumbing experience, we diagnose problems quickly, carry out effective repairs, and help minimise disruption to your home or property.
We also assist customers dealing with insurance-related water damage by providing clear documentation and repair information where required.
Whether you're facing a plumbing emergency or need urgent advice about a developing leak, we're here to help.
Our Leak Detection Services
Our leak detection service combines experience, practical investigation, and specialist diagnostic methods to locate hidden leaks efficiently while minimising disruption to your property.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging technology helps identify temperature differences within walls, floors, and heating systems that may indicate hidden water leaks.
Pressure Testing
Pressure testing allows us to determine whether your heating or plumbing system is losing water and helps narrow down the source of the issue.
Visual Inspections
A thorough inspection of accessible pipework, heating components, and plumbing systems to identify visible signs of leaks or faults.
Endoscopic Camera Inspection
Where appropriate, specialist inspection cameras allow us to investigate concealed spaces with minimal disruption.
Pinpoint Leak Location
Our goal is to locate the source of the leak accurately and avoid unnecessary exploratory damage to walls, floors, or ceilings.
Clear Recommendations
Once the issue has been identified, we explain the findings clearly and provide practical recommendations for repair or further action.

Corrosion inspections
Leak detection checks
We also inspect for water pressure loss, pipe wear, and unsupported sections that could fail over time.
Waste Pipes in Birmingham
Waste water pipes carry used water from baths, sinks, showers, and appliances — and when they block or leak, they can cause smells, flooding, and hygiene issues. Jack The Plumber clears and repairs waste pipes inside and outside the property.
Waste pipe services include:
Replacing damaged or sagging pipes
Fixing poor connections and backflow issues
Improving fall/gradient for correct drainage
Unblocking pipework with safe tools
Inspecting joints for leaks or disconnection
All repairs are completed to current waste water drainage standards.

Hot water pipe insulation for efficiency
Replacement of missing or poor-quality insulation

We can help with:
Mains pipe replacement
External stopcock repairs
Identifying and repairing underground leaks
Water pressure improvements
Domestic supply pipe upgrades (lead pipe replacements)
We work safely and to regulation, coordinating with your water supplier if necessary.
