Common questions
Helpful answers
What should I do during a plumbing emergency?
If safe, stop the water at the nearest shutoff or the home's main valve, protect belongings from water and call a plumber.
Why is my water pressure suddenly low?
Low pressure may result from a fixture issue, a valve, buildup, a supply problem or a leak. Compare multiple fixtures and call if the change persists.
Why does my drain keep backing up?
A recurring backup usually means the underlying blockage or line problem has not been fully resolved. Professional assessment can identify the next step.
Is a leaking water heater an emergency?
A significant or active leak can damage the surrounding area. Shut off the water or unit only if you know how to do so safely, then call for service.
How can I help prevent frozen pipes?
Protect exposed plumbing, disconnect outdoor hoses, maintain indoor heat and allow vulnerable fixtures to drip during severe cold when appropriate.
