What You Can Do to Help

Our plumbers arrive as promptly as possible in an emergency situation. However, there are steps you can take to minimize damage to your ceilings, walls and floors. if you know where the shutoff valve is, turn off the main water source to your home to prevent additional flooding. This will prevent leaking water from destroying your furniture and belongings. The next thing you can do is to make sure everyone in your home is in a safe place. Slippery floors can cause slip and falls and may present other dangers to your pets and children.

Generally, you won’t have a long wait. We do prioritize emergency plumbing issues to prevent additional damage to your plumbing system and home. Previous customers have shown their gratitude for our midnight service calls that solved messy plumbing situations on holidays and just before a big out of town trip. If you need someone to call on Thanksgiving Day when the kitchen sink pipes burst or on Christmas morning when a stubborn clog makes your bathroom unusable, contact bluefrog Plumbing + Drain for reliable service. We are here every day of the year.

Turn Off the Water

If you don’t know how to turn off the water at the main source, now is a good time to learn. Our technicians can also show you how to turn the water off during an emergency. After we arrive, the first thing will do is make sure the water is cleared from the pipes and show you where the main shutoff valve is.

If you know where the main shutoff valve is, turning it off to minimize the damage is always a good idea.

However, if you know which fixture is causing the leak, you can just turn off the water at the appliance causing the issue. For example, toilets and sinks have shutoff valves under the fixture near the wall. Main shutoff vows are sometimes located in the kitchen or laundry room or outside for older homes.

Power Off Heating Devices

If your regular or tankless hot water heater has a plumbing issue, turn it off to avoid flooding or scalding accidents. You can also kill the power at the main circuit breaker for your water heater.

How to Deal with Leaks

Most plumbing emergencies involve some kind of leak. Place waterproof containers to catch the drips or leaking water until our license plumber arrives to fix the leak. Mop up any water laying on the floor to avoid injury. If you suspect multiple leaks, let us know and turn off the main water source to avoid flooding your home.

We Remove Any Clogs

Slow or clogged drains often come from blockages caused by the accumulation of grease, oil, hair and other substances. If you notice a foul or odd odor coming from the drain, call us immediately and avoid the area until we arrive. We use a toilet auger for toilet stoppages and snakes to clear drains. If possible, we avoid chemical cleaners or use gentle chemical cleaners to dissolve tough clogs.
