A burst pipe or backed-up sewer can flood your home and damage your foundation in hours. Call us right now. We answer the phone, send a plumber out in 45 minutes, and stop the water before it becomes a bigger problem.
Find the shutoff valve where the main line enters your home, usually near the meter or in the front yard. Turn it clockwise until it stops. This kills the flow and buys you time. If you can't find it or it's stuck, turn it as far as you can and call us right away.
Grab boxes, electronics, furniture, and anything else near the leak and move it to a dry area. Even 10 minutes of moving stuff can save thousands in damage. Wet drywall and wood rot fast, so speed matters here.
Once the main is off, open a low faucet to release pressure still in the pipes. This stops water from continuing to spray out of the break. Leave it open until we arrive.
Snap a quick picture of where the water is coming from and how much is pooling. It helps us understand what we're walking into and speeds up the fix.
Wet floors are slippery. Keep kids and pets clear. If water is near electrical outlets or panels, stay away entirely and let our plumber handle it.
A burst pipe, sewer backup, or water heater that's shut off for the day counts as an emergency. Our plumber shows up equipped to stop the leak at the source, pump out standing water, and get you answers about the repair before we start. We work around the clock because pipe problems don't wait for business hours.
Not every plumbing issue needs a middle-of-the-night call. A slow drain, a dripping faucet, or a toilet that runs can wait for a morning appointment. But if you see water pooling in your home, smell sewage coming from drains, hear hissing from the walls, or your water heater is stone cold in winter, call now. The longer water sits in your home, the more it costs you.
When we arrive, our plumber will assess where the water is coming from, locate the damage, and tell you exactly what needs to happen next. We'll give you an approval before we turn the first wrench. If it's a burst in the yard, a slab leak under the foundation, or a main line clog backing up into the house, we have the tools and experience to handle it. Some jobs we finish the same night. Others need planning, and we'll tell you that straight up.
