Check safety before requesting help

For gas odors, electrical hazards, severe flooding or sewage exposure, put safety before a plumbing inquiry. This website is not monitored emergency dispatch—do not wait for a form response during immediate danger.

What is happening right now?

Check every situation that applies. If more than one is present, address immediate danger before gathering details or arranging plumbing work.

Gas odor or hissing

Leave the building without operating switches, appliances or phones inside. From a safe location, contact emergency services or your gas utility’s emergency service; do not investigate the source or return until cleared.

Water near electrical equipment

Stay out of standing water and do not touch wet outlets, appliances or electrical panels. Keep others away and contact emergency services for immediate danger or your electric utility for utility-related hazards.

Active or rising flooding

Move people and pets away from the affected area without entering floodwater. For severe flooding or danger to occupants, seek direct emergency assistance; otherwise, contact a plumbing provider directly rather than waiting on this website.

Sewage entering the property

Avoid contact, keep people and pets away, and stop using fixtures that feed the backup. Contact a plumbing provider directly for assessment; if someone has been exposed, seek medical advice, with emergency assistance for severe symptoms.

Urgent does not always mean immediate danger

A dripping faucet, a running toilet without overflow, or one slow drain may allow time to prepare a repair request when there is no flooding, sewage exposure, gas odor or electrical hazard. These examples are not a safety clearance or a diagnosis.

An active leak causing damage or a continuing backup needs direct provider contact, even when no immediate threat to people is apparent. If conditions worsen or you cannot tell whether the area is safe, keep away and seek appropriate direct assistance.

Once immediate safety concerns are addressed, choose the topic that matches what you can observe—not the repair you suspect is needed.

After immediate safety concerns are addressed

Prepare a short, factual request

Use these notes when contacting a provider directly. Do not delay urgent assistance to complete a checklist or take photos.

01

Describe current conditions

Note whether water or sewage is still entering the area, has stopped, or is unknown. List affected rooms and fixtures, when the problem started, and any safety concern already reported.

02

State location and timing

Have the property ZIP code and property type ready, then state when you are seeking assessment. Requested timing is not confirmed availability; the provider must confirm coverage and any appointment.

03

Explain authorization and access

Say whether you are the owner, tenant or manager, who can authorize work, and who can provide access. Mention unsafe or inaccessible areas; include photos only if they can be taken without approaching a hazard.
