Totally fair. Phone anxiety is a real thing. But Thames Water caught on. They have an app and a web chat now. However, for serious stuff—like raw sewage in your garden? Pick up the phone.
Text-based support is slow. A phone call gets you a human faster. And when you’re staring at a growing puddle, speed is everything.

Plus, you can whisper “help me” in a very dramatic voice when they answer. They won’t laugh, but you will. It’s the little things.
One More Thing—Don’t Be a Hero
You might think, “Oh, I can fix this myself.” Then you try to tighten a pipe and suddenly you’re wearing the water. We’ve all been there.
Calling 0800 316 9800 is the grown-up move. It’s admitting you need backup. And Thames Water has teams of people whose job it is to deal with your mess.
Let them deal with it. You just stand there, holding your phone, looking relieved. That’s your job.
