Immediate Steps to Take During a Plumbing Emergency

While our emergency service van is en route to your Gilbert home, take these immediate safety measures to minimize property damage:

  1. Shut Off Main Water Supply: Locate your primary water shutoff valve (usually situated near your front hose bib or in the ground meter box near the street) and rotate clockwise until tight.
  2. Turn Off Water Heater: Switch off the circuit breaker for electric units or turn the gas thermostat valve to "Pilot" or "Off".
  3. Open Outdoor Faucets: Relieve residual pipe pressure by opening outdoor hose spigots.
  4. Avoid Electrical Hazards: If standing water reaches electrical outlets or appliances, shut off power at the main electrical panel before stepping into standing water.
