What happens if the geyser bursts?

1 min read · Updated 12 October 2026

Tenant: switch off the geyser at the DB board and close the water at the stopcock (both are in your home guide), then report it as urgent with a photo. Owner: call your plumber and your building insurer. Geysers are usually the owner’s cost and covered by building insurance.
