Prevent Water Damage in Birmingham: Fix Leaky Pipes & Tanks Today
When your tank overflows or a pipe starts to leak behind the wall, the damage often goes far beyond what you can see. Water tanks and plumbing pipes play a vital role in keeping your home or workplace running properly — and when something goes wrong, it can lead to high water bills, poor pressure, damp patches, or full-scale water damage. If you’ve noticed a leak, loss of pressure, banging pipes or damp smells, it’s time to call in a professional.

We handle a full range of water tank and plumbing pipework jobs across domestic and light commercial properties. Here are the most common services we provide:
Hot & Cold Water Tanks
We install, maintain, and repair both hot and cold water tanks — whether in the loft, airing cupboard, or utility area. These tanks can suffer from corrosion, debris build-up, faulty valves, or even collapsed ball floats.
Common tank problems we fix:
- Noisy or overflowing tanks
- Low pressure from stored hot water
- Discoloured water due to rust or sediment
- Leaks from tank seams or pipe joints
- Ballcock and float valve failures
If your tank is outdated or unsafe, we can also recommend and install a more modern replacement.

We provide:

- Header tank repairs
- Cistern refits and reinforcements
- Overflow pipe corrections

We also test all tanks for structural integrity and fit protective lids and lagging to meet current plumbing guidance.
Leaking Tanks in Birmingham
Leaks from your water tank can go unnoticed until they cause damp ceilings, wet insulation, or stained walls. Jack the Plumber provides quick detection and safe, lasting repairs — whether it’s a pinhole leak, seal failure, or corroded fitting.
Signs of a leaking tank include:
- Wet patches on ceilings below
- Dripping sounds in the loft
- Continuous overflow
- Unexplained damp or mould
- Water on top of the tank or pipe connections
We can reseal, repair, or replace the affected components and recommend insulation or lagging to prevent future issues.

From copper and plastic piping to underfloor plumbing, we locate and repair water leaks quickly. Whether it’s a constant drip or an emergency burst, Jack the Plumber fixes pipe problems with care and precision.
We repair:
- Leaking copper joints
- Cracked plastic pipes
- Soldered and compression fittings
- Bursts caused by freezing or impact
- Hidden pipework behind walls and floors
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

All repairs are completed to current waste water drainage standards.
Tank & Pipe Lagging in Birmingham
Insulating your water tanks and pipework helps reduce heat loss, prevents freezing, and protects against condensation damage. Jack the Plumber provides proper lagging for loft tanks, hot pipes, and exposed water lines.
Lagging services include:
- Loft and attic tank insulation
- Pipe lagging for winter protection
- Hot water pipe insulation for efficiency
- Replacement of missing or poor-quality insulation
- Advice on pipe frost protection and maintenance
If your system is at risk from winter temperatures, we can advise on upgrades to avoid burst pipes or frozen tanks.
