Common Signs You Have a Plumbing Emergency
- Burst or ruptured water supply pipes causing active flooding
- Sewage backing up into toilets, sinks, or floor drains inside your property
- Visible water pouring from walls, ceilings, or floors with no ability to stop it
- Complete loss of water pressure affecting the entire property
- Water heater failure combined with water accumulation on the floor
- Gas line smell near water heater or plumbing fixtures (call 911 first, then your plumber)

What to Do During a Plumbing Emergency
Before the plumber arrives, there are immediate steps you can take to reduce damage. Locate your property's main water shut-off valve — typically found near the water meter or where the main supply line enters the building — and turn it off. This stops the flow of water to the entire property and can prevent further flooding.
Move furnishings, electronics, and valuables away from areas with standing water. Take photos of any damage for insurance documentation. Do not attempt to repair burst pipes, sewage issues, or water heater failures yourself unless you are a licensed plumber — improper repairs can make the situation worse and create additional hazards.
