Emergency
An active leak, a burst pipe or a sewer backup doesn't wait for a convenient time. Call us and we'll walk you through what to do right now while we get a technician on the way.
Start with the symptom. We will handle the diagnosis.
Water actively running or pooling somewhere it shouldn't.
Sudden flow of water, often after a freeze.
Waste water backing up into a tub, drain or floor.
Tank leaking or pooling near the base.
No flow at any fixture in the house.
Leave the area and call your gas utility first.
A leak that's actively running — under a sink, behind a toilet, or from a visibly damaged pipe — should be addressed immediately. Water damage compounds quickly the longer it continues, affecting flooring, drywall and, in some cases, electrical systems below or near the leak.
A burst pipe, often following a hard freeze, can release a large volume of water quickly. Shutting off the main water supply is the priority; the source of the break can be repaired once the water is off and the area is safe to work in.
Water or waste backing up into a tub, shower drain or floor drain is a sign the main sewer line is blocked or has failed. Stop using water in the house until the line is cleared, since running more water can make the backup worse.
A water heater tank leaking at the base or from a fitting can escalate from a slow drip to a larger leak. Shutting off the water supply to the tank, and the gas or power to the unit if you can safely reach it, limits damage until a technician arrives.
A sudden loss of water throughout the house can point to a main line break, a failed pressure regulator, or in some cases a municipal supply issue. We can help determine which applies over the phone before a technician arrives.
For an active leak or burst pipe, shut off the water at the main valve if you're able to safely reach it. Move any belongings away from the affected area if it's safe to do so. Avoid attempting repairs on pressurized lines or gas connections yourself — that's what we're for.
Most homes have a main shutoff valve near where the water line enters the house, often in a basement, crawlspace or utility area. Turning the valve fully closed stops water to the entire home. If you don't know where yours is located, it's worth locating it now, before an emergency, so you're not searching for it under pressure.
Call (385) 855-2649 and our office will ask what's happening and how urgent it is, then get you scheduled as quickly as our team can respond. For situations that genuinely can't wait, we prioritize accordingly; for issues that are serious but stable, we'll give you an honest arrival window rather than an open-ended promise.
Know where your main water shutoff valve is before you need it. In an actual emergency, that knowledge saves the minutes that matter most.
Scenarios our licensed plumbers work through on a regular basis.
Common call
Following freezing overnight temperatures, an exposed supply line burst in an unheated space. The homeowner shut off the main water while waiting, which limited the damage before repair.
Diagnosis
A basement floor drain began backing up during normal household use. The main line was cleared and camera-inspected to confirm the cause.
Repair vs replace
A water heater began leaking steadily from the tank itself. The unit was shut down and replaced the same day.
