Don't Panic! What to Do Before Pro Plumbing Arrives for Emergency Service
Turn Off the Water Supply
The first step in managing a plumbing emergency is to turn off the water supply to prevent further damage. Locate the main water shut-off valve in your home, typically found near the water meter or in the basement. If the issue is localized to a specific fixture, such as a toilet or sink, you can often find a shut-off valve directly under or behind it.
Assess the Situation
While waiting for our technicians, take a moment to assess the situation and gather relevant information. Identify the source of the problem, such as a burst pipe, blocked drain, or malfunctioning water heater. Note any specific details, like unusual sounds, odors, or visible damage.
Mitigate Further Damage
To protect your home from additional damage, take proactive measures as best you can. If there’s standing water, use towels, mops, or a wet/dry vacuum to absorb as much water as possible. Move any furniture or valuables away from affected areas to prevent water damage.
Prepare for the Plumbers' Arrival
Before Pro Plumbing arrives, ensure the area is accessible for our technicians. Clear any obstacles around the plumbing issue so our team can work efficiently. Additionally, gather any necessary documents or information, such as warranty details or past maintenance records related to the affected system.
