What to Do in a Plumbing Emergency

Plumbing emergencies can happen at any time. Do you know what to do if one happens in your home?

If you have a plumbing emergency, then you should:

1. Turn off the water: Serious leaks require you to shut off the main water line immediately. You should know where the water main intake is in your home and how to correctly shut it off. If you don’t know now, take a moment to find it, or schedule a plumbing service and we can show you where it is. Remember that some leaks aren’t visible but instead are noticeable due to pooling water, warm spots on the floor, water drops coming out of the wall or ceiling, or the sound of rushing water.
2. Clean the mess: You should not wait to start cleaning up any mess caused by the plumbing problem. Use a mop, bucket, towels, and other cleaning equipment to get rid of any standing water. Take wet furniture and items outside to dry faster if you can. If you let standing water remain for long, then the risk of mold growth will increase significantly.
3. Call our plumbers: Once the water is shut off and you have started to clean any mess, dial (775) 227-0980 to request emergency plumbing services from DeHart Plumbing, Heating & Air. We keep our phone line open 24/7.

Routine Maintenance Helps Prevent Plumbing Emergencies

Many plumbing emergencies that happen could have been avoided. With routine maintenance, you can reduce the risk of a big plumbing disaster in your home. Many types of maintenance you can do on your own, but some work is better handled by plumbing professionals like ours.

Plumbing tips that can help prevent plumbing emergencies include:

• Don’t pour oil, grease, or fats down the drain
• Don’t hang clothes or items from exposed pipework
• Don’t flush too much toilet paper at once
