What to Do Immediately in a Plumbing Emergency

Before our expert plumber arrives, taking a few key steps can significantly reduce water damage. Stay calm and follow this guide:

• Shut Off the Main Water Supply: The most critical first step is to stop the flow of water into your home. Locate your main water shut-off valve, which is often found in a basement, crawl space, garage, or on an exterior wall. Turn the valve clockwise until it is fully closed.
• Turn Off the Water Heater: To prevent overheating damage or pressure buildup, turn off your water heater. For an electric heater, switch off the corresponding breaker in your electrical panel. For a gas heater, turn the switch to the "PILOT" or "OFF" position.
• Address Minor Leaks if Possible: For smaller, manageable leaks, use buckets and towels to contain the water and prevent it from spreading to other areas of your home.
• Open Faucets: After shutting off the main water supply, open the faucets in your home, starting with the highest floor and working your way down. This helps drain the remaining water from the pipes and relieves pressure.
• Do Not Use Electrical Appliances: If there is standing water, avoid using any electrical devices in the affected area to prevent the risk of electric shock. Unplug any appliances that are near the water if it is safe to do so.
• Avoid Chemical Drain Cleaners: For severe clogs or backups, do not pour chemical drain cleaners down the drain. These caustic chemicals can damage your pipes and pose a safety hazard to our plumbers.

Common Plumbing Emergencies We Handle in Lakeside

Our highly trained plumbers are equipped with the tools and expertise to resolve any plumbing crisis. We are prepared to handle a wide range of emergencies, including:

1. Burst or Leaking Pipes: Whether from age, corrosion, or freezing temperatures, a burst pipe requires immediate attention to prevent catastrophic flooding and structural damage.
2. Severe Sewer and Drain Clogs: When a plunger won't solve the problem, you may have a major blockage deep within your plumbing system. We use advanced diagnostic and cleaning tools to clear stubborn clogs in sewer lines and drains.
3. Sewer System Backup: A backup of raw sewage into your home is a serious health hazard. We respond quickly to identify the cause, clear the blockage, and help you begin the cleanup process safely.
4. Water Heater Failure: We address all water heater emergencies, from major leaks that can cause flooding to a complete loss of hot water. We can diagnose and repair any make or model.
5. Overflowing Toilets: A toilet that continues to overflow after plunging is a sign of a deeper blockage or malfunction that needs professional intervention.
6. Slab Leak Detection and Repair: Leaks beneath your home's concrete foundation can go unnoticed for weeks, causing severe structural and water damage. We use non-invasive technology to locate and repair these hidden leaks.
7. Gas Line Leaks: If you smell gas, evacuate your home immediately and call your gas utility company first. Once the gas is turned off and the area is safe, our certified technicians can perform the necessary repairs to your gas lines.

Is Your Situation a True Plumbing Emergency?

It can be difficult to know whether your plumbing issue requires immediate attention or can wait for a scheduled appointment. While any plumbing problem is an inconvenience, a true emergency is one that threatens your health or property.

Call for emergency service if you experience:

1. Uncontrollable water flow or major flooding
2. A complete lack of water in your home
3. A sewage backup into your drains, tubs, or toilets
4. The smell of natural gas in or around your home
5. Multiple clogged drains at the same time, indicating a main sewer line issue
6. A leaking water heater tank

For issues like a dripping faucet, a single slow drain, or a running toilet that isn't overflowing, you can likely schedule a non-emergency appointment. However, if you are ever unsure, it is always best to err on the side of caution.
