What Counts as an Emergency?

Water is actively spreading
A pipe has burst
Sewage is entering the building
A fixture is overflowing and can’t be stopped safely
The property suddenly loses water
A sump pump fails while water is rising
A frozen pipe begins leaking as it thaws
A water heater is actively releasing water

A slow drip, running toilet, or single slow drain may be suitable for regular scheduling unless the condition changes.

Handling an Active Emergency

1
Stop Additional Water
Use a safe shutoff if you know it, stay clear of wet electrical equipment, and stop using affected fixtures.
2
Protect the Property
Move undamaged belongings only when safe. Keep people and pets away from sewage or spreading water.
3
Note the Details
Where water first appeared, when it started, and whether it’s still moving.
4
Call Now
Describe what’s happening — you don’t need to know the diagnosis before calling.

Handle These Situations Safely

Sewer Backup or Overflowing Fixture

✓Stop using toilets and drains

Sudden Loss of Water
