A plumbing emergency can happen at any time. Knowing what to do in the first few minutes can save you thousands in water damage.
Know where your main water shut-off valve is located. In an emergency, turning off the water supply is always your first step to prevent further damage.
Keep a plumber's number saved in your phone. EZ-CO Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency service at (607) 373-6421 — save this number now.
For burst pipes, turn off the main water supply immediately, then open faucets to drain remaining water from the system.
If you have a water heater leak, turn off the power supply (gas or electric) and the cold water inlet valve before calling for help.
Never ignore small leaks. What starts as a drip can quickly become a flood. Early intervention is always less expensive than emergency repairs.
