Handling a Plumbing Emergency
In response to a plumbing emergency, minimize property damage by shutting off the leak(s), if possible. Then call a professional plumber.
For General Water Leaks
In response to general water leaks:
- First, identify the source.
- Then, turn off the water, either with the main water shut off or by turning off water to the problem area.
- Next, contain the leak.
- Resolve the problem, if possible, or call a plumber.
For Water Heater Leaks
To respond to water heater leaks specifically:
- Turn off the water heater’s power supply (either from the breaker or gas control valve).
- Shut off the water heater’s water supply.
- Identify the source of the leak (check the top, sides, and bottom of the water heater).
- Resolve the problem, if possible, or call a plumber.
After Issue Containment
Whether a plumbing emergency originates with a general leak or from a water heater specifically, check for and address water damage. Dry affected areas, check for and tighten pipe fittings, and monitor to verify the issue has stopped.
Taking steps to prevent future water damage (such as placing a drain pan for your water heater) is also worth considering.
Calling In a Professional
Call in a professional if a plumbing emergency is not simply resolved. Reasons for calling a plumber include not knowing where a leak is originating, a leaky water heater tank, and a leak that persists after the water supply has been turned off.

Reasons for Emergency Plumbing Services
Some plumbing emergencies are more easily detected than others, and there are multiple reasons emergency plumbing services may be required. Here are some reasons for emergency plumbing services:
- Water leaks
- Water heater leaks
- Toilets that are leaking or that won’t shut off
- Broken or leaky drains
- Broken fixtures
- Flooding due to frozen pipes
- Blockage of the main water line
- Malfunctioning garbage disposals
- Compromised supply lines
- Sewage backups
- Shower valves that are stuck on or off, or that don’t work
- Piping leaks
Plumbing issues can be both inconvenient and costly. Water damage can affect flooring, walls, furniture, and other items. Displaced water from plumbing issues can also affect electrical systems. For all these reasons, having plumbing issues quickly and completely resolved is important for home and business owners.
