What Is a Plumbing Emergency?
Not every plumbing issue requires an immediate dispatch, but some problems simply cannot wait. If you are experiencing any of the following, it is critical to contact an emergency plumber without delay to prevent extensive water damage, health hazards, or costly secondary repairs.
- Burst or Severely Leaking Pipes: Uncontrolled water flow from pipes in your walls, ceilings, or crawl spaces.
- Main Sewer Line Backups: When multiple drains in your home (toilets, sinks, showers) are backing up simultaneously, often with foul-smelling wastewater.
- Major Water Heater Leaks: Significant pooling of water around the base of your water heater.
- Overflowing Toilets: A toilet that continues to run and overflow, and cannot be stopped with a plunger.
- No Water in Your Home: A sudden and complete loss of water pressure throughout the house can indicate a major problem with your main water line.
- Gas Line Leaks: If you smell gas, especially near your water heater or other gas-powered appliances, this is a severe emergency.
What to Do Immediately While You Wait for Help
Taking quick action before our plumber arrives can significantly reduce property damage. If you are facing a water-related emergency, follow these steps safely:
- Shut Off the Main Water Valve: Your first and most important step is to stop the flow of water into your home. The main shut-off valve is typically located in your basement, crawl space, or an exterior utility box. Turn the valve clockwise until it is fully closed.
- Turn Off the Water Heater: To prevent overheating or damage to the unit, turn off your water heater. For an electric heater, switch it off at the circuit breaker. For a gas heater, turn the switch to the "PILOT" setting.
- Contain the Water: Use buckets, towels, and mops to contain any standing water and prevent it from spreading to other areas of your home.
- Avoid Using Electrical Appliances: In areas with standing water, do not touch or use any electrical appliances or outlets to avoid the risk of electric shock.
- Do Not Use Drains: If you suspect a sewer line clog, refrain from flushing toilets or using any sinks, as this will only worsen the backup.
