Many of our clients have called us to rescue them in a plumbing emergency. Dangerous or harmless, we are happy to get you out of the emergency you’re in. If you ever encounter a plumbing emergency, it’s important to know the do’s and don’ts to keep you and your family safe!

DO’s

• Shut off the water.
  In an emergency, it’s important to turn off the closet water source ASAP. For toilets, you can turn the base valve or the valve behind your toilet. For bigger emergencies, turn off the main valve in your home. Most water valves require turning it clockwise for shut off.
• Check the water heater.
  In major plumbing emergencies, we recommend turning the water heater off to avoid further damage to your home. After the main valve is shut off, turn off the water heater to prevent heat from welling up inside of it, which can cause it bursting or overheating. If you have a gas water heater, turn off the gas first.
• Call a professional.
  Many homeowners fail to call a professional. Reduce as much damage as possible by calling ASAP. You’ll not only get help dispatched to your home, but the trained and certified plumbers who answer your call can let you know whether or not the situation is too dangerous for you to stay home. Be sure to listen if they tell you to stay home or not. It can potentially save your life.

DON’Ts

• Don’t try to fix the problem with unknown tools. This can not only make the emergency worse, but it can put you in danger. We urge you to call professionals if you have no idea what to do. It can not only save your pocket from further costs but also save you from the problem worsening.
• Don’t ignore the situation. If a plumbing problem looks bad, just call a professional. It’s better to be safe than sorry, right?

Being aware of a few basic plumbing maintenance tips can greatly help you reduce the chances of possible damage to your home. Here are a few tips to help you with your plumbing maintenance:

Be Aware of Water Leaks.
Small water leaks can lead to big problems if they go unnoticed. So it’s important to be aware of any leaky faucets, damp cabinets, rocking toilets, or dripping refrigerators because these are all symptoms that require fast action!

Repair Problems Early.
As soon as you notice a plumbing problem, it’s important to repair it as soon as possible. Think of your plumbing like your car. If you ignore any problems, it can become an even bigger problem and bill.

Responding to Overflows.
If you have water gushing out of your sink or toilet, find your home’s main valve and shut off the water supply. It’s important to have an overflow kit for a fast response so keep tools you’ll need and a flashlight handy. Nothing’s more frustrating than being unprepared during a situation like that!
