When plumbing fails, your first decisions determine the damage. In Point Breeze, Graduate Hospital, Grays Ferry, and Southwest Philly, emergency calls often involve overflowing toilets, burst pipes, sudden leaks under sinks, or water line issues.
Here’s a simple emergency checklist:
- Shut off water (local valve first; main shutoff if needed)
- Protect floors (towels + buckets immediately)
- Turn off electrical in affected area if water is near outlets
- Avoid chemical drain cleaners during major clogs (can worsen problems)
- Call a licensed emergency plumber for proper diagnosis and repair
Emergency plumbing isn’t just “stop the leak.” It also requires checking what caused it—failed supply lines, corroded fittings, venting issues, or cracked components. A good repair should address the root cause, not only the visible symptoms.
