What You Can Do While Waiting for an Emergency Plumber

Following these steps can make a meaningful difference in limiting the extent of damage until our technician arrives to resolve the issue professionally.

Shut off the water supply. If a pipe or fixture is leaking, turn off its local shutoff valve or your home’s main water valve to stop the flow of water.

Note when the problem began. Tell your plumber when you first noticed it and whether you heard unusual sounds or noticed any unusual odors beforehand.

Keep clear of electrical hazards. If water is near outlets or electrical equipment, stay out of the wet area. Turn off the appropriate breaker only if you can reach the electrical panel safely without stepping through water.

Move belongings out of wet areas. If it’s safe to do so, relocate rugs, furniture, and other belongings to help prevent damage.

Stop using drains if you suspect a sewer backup. Avoid flushing toilets or running water until a plumber has assessed the problem.
