What counts as a plumbing emergency
Some problems can wait for a weekday appointment. Others cause damage every minute they continue. Treat these as urgent:
- Water you cannot stop: a burst pipe, a broken supply line under a sink, or a split hose bib spraying against the house
- Sewage coming up into a tub, shower or floor drain, or overflowing from a cleanout
- A leaking water heater, especially one in a garage or closet next to living space
- No water at all in the home with no utility notice
- Water near electrical outlets, panels or appliances
- A gas smell near a gas water heater or appliance
The first five minutes
- Stop the water. Every California home should have a main shut-off, usually near the water meter at the street or where the supply enters the house. For a single fixture, use the small valve behind the toilet or under the sink.
- Stay safe around electricity. Do not stand in water near outlets or appliances. Switch off power to the affected area at the panel if it is safe to reach.
- For a gas smell, leave first. Get everyone outside, do not operate switches, and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. A plumber is not the first call for a suspected gas leak.
- For sewage, stop using water anywhere in the home so more does not back up.
- Photograph the damage for your records and any insurance claim.
