Respond to the Customer
Thank you for reporting this issue to us. A Synco Water Inspector will attend as soon as possible to attempt to turn off the supply, this is usually within 2 hours. Our planning team will be in touch via your chosen method once the job has been scheduled. Somebody will need to be at the property to ensure the water has gone off. You will then need to engage a private plumber to fix any leak within the property. Once the leak has been fixed you can contact us again to request the water supply to be turned back on.
In some cases, the Inspector may be unable to isolate the supply, and we may need to raise follow on work for our service partners to undertake a repair to the external stoptap. Our Inspector will let you know if this is the case, and how long this is likely to take.
Pass CSMS number on to the customer for their records.
