Plumbing Problems That May Need Urgent Attention

Examples include:

  • Water accumulating in a basement
  • A suspected major water line problem
  • A sump pump failure during water intrusion

The urgency depends on the situation and the risk to people and property.

What to Do Before Help Arrives

If it is safe, shut off the affected water supply to reduce further leakage. Keep away from electrical equipment and outlets in wet areas. Avoid contact with sewage-contaminated water and keep children and pets away from affected areas.
If there is a serious immediate hazard, contact the appropriate emergency service or utility.

Emergency Drain and Sewer Problems

A drain backup can be caused by a localized blockage or a more extensive issue with the main drain. If several fixtures are affected or wastewater backs up through a low-level drain, the problem may need investigation beyond a single fixture.
Depending on the findings, cleaning, camera inspection, repair or replacement may be considered.

Water Leaks and Basement Water Intrusion

Active leaks and water entering a basement should be assessed according to the source and severity. Where electrical hazards are present, do not enter standing water or attempt repairs in unsafe conditions.
