What Is Considered A Plumbing Emergency For Homeowners?

A plumbing emergency is any problem that risks water damage, health hazards, or loss of service and cannot wait. Common examples include active leaks or burst pipes, sewer backups, a clogged main drain, an overflowing toilet you can’t stop, no water to the home, a leaking water heater, or any gas-line leak or gas smell. Shut off the nearest water valve and avoid DIY gas work. We offer drain, sewer, leak, water heater, and gas-line services in Novato, San Rafael, Petaluma, and nearby.

• Turn off water at the fixture or main.
• Keep people away from sewage or gas.
