What to Do While You Wait
A plumbing emergency can feel overwhelming, but a few quick steps can limit damage before we arrive.
Shut off your main water valve if you have active flooding or a leak you can't control. This is usually the single most effective thing you can do to stop damage from getting worse.
Stay away from standing water near outlets, cords, or appliances. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination — don't risk it.
Move valuables and furniture away from the affected area if it's safe.
Avoid using sinks, toilets, or drains if you're dealing with a sewage backup — running more water through the system can make the backup worse.
Call us at (312) 278-7900 so we can confirm availability and dispatch a plumber as quickly as possible.
