Common Situations
Plumbing Problems That May Need Urgent Attention
The urgency of a plumbing problem depends on the severity, location and whether water or wastewater is actively escaping.
Burst or Leaking Pipe
Active pipe leaks can release water into walls, ceilings, cabinets or other areas of the property.
Sewer Backup
Wastewater backing up through drains or fixtures can prevent normal use and create a significant plumbing problem.
Overflowing Toilet
A toilet that continues overflowing or will not clear can create water damage and sanitation concerns.
Water Heater Leak
Water around a water heater can involve the tank, valves, fittings or connected plumbing.
Multiple Blocked Drains
Several slow or blocked fixtures at the same time can suggest a larger drainage or sewer-line issue.
Major Fixture Leak
A failed faucet, supply line, shutoff valve or plumbing connection can release water until the source is controlled.
First Steps
What to Do When a Plumbing Problem Happens
Actions depend on the situation, but these general steps can help you assess the problem while you consider professional service.
Identify the Source
Determine where the water, backup or plumbing failure appears to be coming from when it is safe and practical to do so.
Limit Additional Water
If you know how and it can be done safely, stopping the affected fixture or water supply can help limit additional water release.
Avoid Using Affected Fixtures
Continued use can worsen certain drain, sewer or fixture problems until the cause is identified.
