Immediate Steps to Take During a Plumbing Emergency

As soon as you contact our team, an experienced plumber will be on the way. Still, water can quickly cause a significant amount of damage to your home. That’s why it’s important for you to know a few basic facts about your plumbing system. Take these steps to help minimize potential damage when a plumbing emergency occurs.

• Turn off water sources: If possible, immediately locate the shut-off valve for the damaged fixture or line. If you don’t know where an individual valve is located, use the shut-off valve for your entire home.
• Capture water: If a leak is located inside your home, remove furniture and other items from the area and capture water if possible to avoid additional damage and eliminate slip and fall dangers.
• Remove clogs: If you can see a clog, you may be able to remove it with a plunger. Unless it’s located in your garbage disposal, it’s safe to attempt to dislodge clogs you can see.
• Turn off the water heater: If your water is scalding hot or a leak is coming from the water heater, turn it off to avoid overheating or other damage.
• Open outdoor drains and spigots: This can help redirect the water flow to an area where it will cause less damage.

How to Locate Plumbing Shut-off Valves

The plumbing fixtures in your home each have a shut-off valve to stop water in one area. Your home also has a main shut-off valve that turns off water for your entire home. These tips will help you find the shut-off valves you need to use in the event of an emergency.

• Kitchen Sink: The shut-off valve to your kitchen sink is typically located in the cabinets beneath your sink. The valve will be located somewhere on the piping leading up to the sink.
• Bathroom Sink: Like the sink in the kitchen, the valve in your bathroom may likely be beneath the sink. If it’s not located there, it may be located in the ceiling above the sink.
• Toilet: The toilet shut-off is almost always located just below the tank.
• Tub/Shower: This shut-off may be located beneath the sink. If you have a basement, the tub shut-off valve may be located in the basement directly below the bathroom.
• Laundry Room: Search for a shut-off valve above or right behind the washer.
• Main Shut-Off Valve: The main shut-off valve to your home could be located in one of a variety of places.
  • In the basement- A large metal handle will be located on the foundation wall.
  • In the crawl space beneath your home
  • In the home- near your water heater, washer, or under the sink
  • Outdoors- attached to an exterior wall or in an underground box
