What to Do in a Plumbing Emergency

During a plumbing emergency, there are steps you can take while waiting for our licensed technicians to arrive, including:

• Locate the main water shut-off valve and turn it off to stop water flow and minimize flooding if major leaks or pipe bursts occur.
• Use towels, rags, or blankets to absorb leaking water and prevent it from spreading. Place pans under leaks.
• Remove any valuables or electronics from areas prone to water damage.
• Turn off affected sinks, toilets, washing machines, dishwashers, and other water appliances.
• Open taps and faucets to drain the pipes and release pressure.
• Keep people and pets away from any sites of leaking water. Rope the area off if needed.
• Clear a path and workspace so our emergency plumbing technicians can access the problem areas efficiently.
• Never try makeshift repairs during sewage back-ups, as this can worsen issues.
• Document any damages with photos for potential insurance claims.

Remember, safety is the most important consideration during any plumbing emergency. Do not attempt to fix major issues on your own, as this can lead to further damage or personal injury. At All County Plumbing & Leak, we're not just responding to calls but protecting homes, preserving routines, and providing peace of mind.
