When Should You Call an Emergency Plumber?
Indoor sewage, an uncontrollable supply leak, water near electrical equipment, or an overflow affecting occupied space may require urgent attention. During major rain, avoid assuming every backup comes from the same source; report exactly where and how water appears.
What Should You Do Before Plumbing Help Arrives?
Stop using plumbing that worsens a backup, close a safe shutoff for escaping supply water, and keep people away from sewage and wet electrical areas. Businesses should isolate the affected restroom or work area when possible without creating another hazard.
