Emergency Plumbing Tips While You Wait

You’ve made the call, and your emergency plumber is on the way. Now what? You can count on your Bill Howe plumber to arrive quickly, but there are steps you can take to minimize the damage until they arrive. Here are a few ways you can protect your home while you’re waiting:

Turn Off the Water Supply

For major plumbing leaks or other damage, locate the main shut-off valve for your home and turn it off. Main water shut-offs are typically located near the water meter, in a basement, or along the water line in your yard. If the plumbing issue is localized, i.e., a leaking faucet, running toilet, or damaged water supply line, you can turn off the water valve for that area.

Turn Off the Water Heater and Unplug Appliances

When a plumbing leak prevents water from reaching a water heater tank or you have turned off the main water supply, turn the water heater off. Without water, a water heater can overheat, build up excess pressure, or experience other damage. Unplugging appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers can help prevent additional damage and electrical hazards.

Contain the Damage

Mop up standing water and use buckets, towels, and other items to contain the water to prevent it from causing further damage. It’s critical to remove as much water as possible and prevent it from saturating carpets, walls, and other areas. If possible, remove furniture and other items that may become water-damaged and put them in a dry area of your home. In addition to minimizing the impact of flooding and other plumbing issues, you can also perform temporary repairs. Plumbing epoxy or tape can be effective for stopping small plumbing leaks, and a plunger can help stop water backup in a drain or toilet. It’s important to understand that you should only attempt these remedies if it’s safe to do so.

Ready to Solve Your Plumbing Emergency?

Plumbing emergencies typically only get worse if you wait. Sewage backup, flooding, and clogged pipes will continue to cause damage until they are repaired, making it essential to call in a 24-hour plumber ASAP. Thankfully, Bill Howe’s same-day plumbing service in San Diego provides quick response times and guaranteed solutions.
