Emergencies

Emergencies that require immediate attention- outside opening hours   

            

Please only call these numbers if the situation requires immediate attention, meaning waiting until the next working day could result in injury, serious property damage or a worsening emergency. Misusing emergency services will result in a fine. 

 

Important: Please do not attempt to repair electrical, plumbing, heating, or other building installations yourself.
 

Examples of emergencies that requires immediate attention:

Water & Flooding

  • Burst pipe or a pipe that is releasing a large amount of water.
  • Water cannot be stopped and is spreading through the apartment.
  • Major leak from a ceiling, wall, pipe, toilet, or radiator.
  • Water is coming into the apartment from another apartment or from outside.
  • Sewage/wastewater is backing up and overflowing into the apartment.
  • A blocked drain is causing flooding and the water cannot be contained.

Electricity & Fire Safety

  • Sparks, smoke, burning smell, or unusual heat coming from a socket, electrical appliance, fuse box, or other electrical installation.
  • Exposed or damaged electrical wires that could be touched.
  • Water has come into contact with electrical installations or sockets.
  • A fuse/breaker repeatedly trips and there is a burning smell, smoke, or another safety concern.

Heating

  • A radiator or heating system is leaking significant amounts of water.
  • A heating-related issue is creating an immediate safety risk, rather than simply causing the apartment to be cold.
