What to Do in a Plumbing Emergency (Before We Arrive)

The moments after discovering a major leak or backup can be stressful. While our team is on the way, taking a few immediate actions can significantly minimize water damage to your Austin property. Your safety and the protection of your home are the top priorities.

Staying calm and following these simple steps will help you gain control of the situation until one of our professionals arrives at your door:

🔷 Turn Off the Main Water Valve: Your first and most important step is to stop the flow of water. The main shut-off valve is typically located in a basement, crawl space, garage, or on an exterior wall of your home.

🔷 Switch Off the Water Heater: To prevent the tank from overheating or sustaining damage, turn off your water heater. For an electric model, use the circuit breaker; for a gas model, turn the control switch to the "pilot" setting.

🔷 Contain Small Leaks: If the leak is manageable, place buckets and towels around the area to catch dripping water. This simple act can go a long way in preventing widespread floor and wall damage while you wait.

🔷 Avoid Using Harsh Chemicals: We strongly advise against pouring chemical drain cleaners down the drain. These substances can corrode your pipes and can make the professional repair process more complicated and hazardous for everyone involved.

Once you have taken these initial steps, you can feel more at ease knowing you've helped protect your home. Our expert plumbers will take it from there, arriving with the tools and experience needed to diagnose and resolve the issue efficiently.

Don't wait for the damage to get worse. Call (512) 710-1032 or fill out our online form for fast service.
