Is It a Plumbing Emergency? Here’s How to Tell
Dani Goodwin Emergencies Not sure if your plumbing issue is urgent? Think about whether there’s a risk of flooding. If water is leaking fast or pooling up, shutting off the water and calling for help right away is the best move. Flooding can cause serious damage in no time. Sewer backups are another major problem. If sewage is coming up through your drains, it’s not just unpleasant—it’s a health hazard that needs immediate attention. A lack of running water or a burst pipe can also turn into a disaster quickly, so don’t wait to get it fixed. On the other hand, slow drains, minor leaks, appliance installations, and routine inspections usually don’t need to be handled right away. If the problem can wait, it’s not an emergency. But if it can’t, give us a call. If you ever need to turn off your home’s water supply, most houses have a main shut-off valve that stops all water flow. In warmer areas, it’s often outside, while in colder climates, it’s usually near the basement, crawl space, or water heater. Some homes have it under the kitchen sink. If you need to shut it off at the water meter, you may need a special tool. Learn more about your water shut off valve. Gas leaks are serious and require immediate action. If you ever suspect one, get everyone out of the house right away. Open doors and windows to let the gas escape, then call for help from a safe location.
