What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?

A plumbing emergency is a situation that threatens your health, safety, or property with significant damage. Burst pipes, leaks, overflowing toilets, and ruptured water heater tanks can cause thousands of dollars in structural damage in just a few hours. 

If you’re dealing with active water intrusion, a strong gas smell, or a total loss of water pressure, don’t hesitate to call (405) 300-5724 for immediate support. Our team is available around the clock to step in and take over before the problem gets worse. 

How to Turn Off Your Home’s Main Water Shut-Off Valve

When a pipe bursts, stopping the water can help protect your floors and drywall while you wait for our emergency crew to arrive. Here are some basic steps you can take: 

1. Locate the valve. This is usually located near your water heater, on a wall in your garage, or inside a utility closet.
2. Identify the handle. Look for the main incoming pipe. You’ll usually see a straight lever or a wheel handle attached to it.
3. Turn off the flow. If you have a lever handle, give it a quarter turn so it sits perpendicular to the pipe. If it’s a wheel, turn it clockwise until it stops.
4. Drain the lines. Open a low-level faucet, such as a first-floor bathtub or an outside hose bib, to drain the remaining water and relieve pressure.
