What Qualifies as a Plumbing Emergency?

What Should You Do if Your Pipe Bursts?

Pipes can burst for various reasons, including freezing temperatures, corrosion, physical damage, and old age.

Follow these steps to handle the situation effectively:

  1. Locate the main water shut-off valve and turn it clockwise to stop the flow of water. This valve is typically located near your water meter or in the basement.
  2. Call our emergency plumber to assess the damage and to repair or install new pipes. It’s often too dangerous to try to fix the issue yourself.
  3. If the water is still actively flowing, place a bucket or container under the leak to catch the water and prevent it from spreading.
  4. Turn off the electricity to the affected area if the leak is near outlets or appliances.
  5. Remove any valuables or furniture from the immediate area to prevent damage.
  6. Once the water is turned off, open the faucets to relieve pressure and allow any remaining water to drain.
  7. Document the damage for insurance purposes.

How Can You Avoid Plumbing Emergencies?

While some plumbing emergencies happen despite preventative measures, there are several precautions you can take to lower the chances of encountering a major issue.

Some preventative steps include:

  • Scheduling regular plumbing inspections
  • Insulating exposed pipes
  • Regularly cleaning drains with a plunger or drain snake
  • Avoiding pouring grease or food waste down sinks
  • Monitoring water pressure for sudden changes
