What should I do if I have a plumbing emergency?
- Shut off the main water supply to your home: This is the first and most important step to take in a plumbing emergency. The main water shut-off valve is usually located near your water meter.
- Don’t try to fix it yourself: Attempting to fix the problem yourself can make things worst and may even lead to your insurance company refusing to pay you out.
- Ensure electrical safety: Move any electrical items or wires out of the way and if necessary turn the power off using the master switch in your fuse box.
- Call a licensed plumber: Do this as soon as possible so the plumber can assess and potentially provide additional instructions over the phone.
- Contain what you can: While you wait for the plumber to arrive, attempt to contain the leak or block the water flow with towels or a bucket if possible.
What should I do if I have a gas emergency?
- Evacuate the premises: If you smell gas, evacuate the premises immediately. Open any windows or doors on your way out to help ventilate the area.
- Turn off the gas supply: If you know where your gas meter is located and can do so safely, turn off the gas supply to your home.
- Do not use any electrical devices or open flames: Do not use any electrical devices, light switches, or open flames, including cigarettes or lighters, as they can ignite the gas and cause an explosion.
- Call a licensed plumber: Do this as soon as possible so the plumber can assess and potentially provide additional instructions over the phone.
- Do not re-enter the home: Gas leaks can be very dangerous and require specialized equipment to detect and repair. A professional should inspect the home and make any necessary repairs before you return.
