What to Do While Waiting for a Plumber During an Emergency

In order to minimize damage to your home, you must respond swiftly and decisively in the event of a plumbing emergency. Before assistance comes, you may take the following actions to control the situation:

1. Shut Off the Main Water Supply: This critical first step stops further flooding and prevents additional damage to your property.
2. Turn Off Power in Affected Areas: Safeguard against electrical hazards by shutting off power in any areas where water is present.
3. Avoid Using Compromised Fixtures or Appliances: Do not use sinks, toilets, or any appliances connected to the affected plumbing system, as this could worsen the situation.
4. Contact a Local Emergency Plumbing Team: Reach out to our experienced emergency plumbers for immediate assistance and guidance on what to do next.
5. Notify Your Insurance Provider: After addressing the immediate concerns, contact your insurance company to understand your coverage and file a claim if necessary. Knowing your policy details can help you be proactive and prepared in case of water damage.

What causes plumbing emergencies in Phoenix homes?

Most emergency calls trace back to conditions that are specific to the Valley:

• Slab leaks. Many Phoenix homes are built on concrete slabs, and supply lines under the slab can leak for months before the damage shows.
• Hard water. Phoenix-area tap water is commonly 200 ppm or higher, according to City of Phoenix water quality reports. Minerals shorten the life of valves, fixture connectors, and water heater tanks.
• Failed supply lines. Braided flex connectors under sinks and behind toilets burst without warning, and older polybutylene or Kitec piping fails more often than copper or PEX.
• Monsoon storms. Heavy rain and debris can overload sewers and push backups into low drains.
• Summer heat. Water heaters in hot garages and attics work hard, and a failing tank or relief valve can start leaking fast.

How does an emergency plumbing call work?

1. Call and describe the problem. Tell us where the water or smell is coming from and whether you have shut off the main valve.
2. A technician comes to you. Their first job is to stop the damage, usually by isolating the water supply to the affected line.
3. We find the source. We use leak detection tools, pressure tests, or a sewer camera so the repair targets the real problem.
4. You approve the plan. We explain the repair and the price before any work begins.
5. We repair and test. Once the repair is done, we test the line and clean up. Take photos of any damage for your insurance claim.

Do emergency repairs need a permit?

Most emergency repairs, such as replacing a burst fixture line, do not. Water heater replacement, gas line work, sewer replacement, and repiping usually do, and the rules vary by city. We tell you what your city or town requires before the work starts.

When should I call an emergency plumber instead of waiting?

Call right away if any of these apply:

• Water is spreading and the main valve will not shut it off, or a pipe has burst. See our burst pipe repair service.
• You smell gas or hear hissing near a gas line. Leave first, then see our gas leak detection page.
• Sewage is backing up into more than one fixture. Our sewer line service covers camera inspection and repair.
• Your water meter keeps moving with every fixture turned off.
• Water is coming through a ceiling or up through the floor.

A dripping faucet or a slow drain at a single sink can usually wait for a scheduled visit. If you are not sure, call and we will help you decide.
