What to Do During a Plumbing Emergency at Night in Katy, TX
A burst pipe or overflowing toilet at 2 AM can cause thousands of dollars in water damage in under an hour. Follow these emergency steps immediately.
4 Immediate Steps to Take in a Plumbing Emergency
- Shut Off the Main Water Supply: Turn the shutoff valve near your water meter or main house valve clockwise until water stops flowing.
- Turn Off Your Water Heater: Shut off power to electric water heaters at the breaker box, or set gas water heaters to “Pilot” to prevent tank damage.
- Open Outdoor Spigots to Drain Pipes: Relieve line pressure by opening outside hose bibbs after turning off the main supply.
- Call a Licensed 24/7 Master Plumber: Call Mercy Plumbing at (832) 876-9498. You will speak directly to Master Plumber John Lohse, not an answering service.
