How do I cut off the water supply?
To cut off your water supply you will need to locate the shut-off valve, usually, located at the back of your toilet outside, if it is a bungalow building or sometimes inside the toilet as a standalone. For a storey building, always a standalone in the toilet. Turn the valve clockwise (direction of a clock) to cut off the water supply.
Is a small leak a big issue?
A small leak is a big issue. Aside from the potential cost, small leaks can also lead to other long-term damage such as damp, mould or even contaminated water. We recommend that however small you may think your plumbing issues are, you can call us to fix them for you.

Shut off the main water supply, if necessary, and contact a professional plumber right away to assess and address the emergency.
