Should I turn off the water before the plumber arrives?

Yes — if water is actively flowing or flooding, shut off the main supply valve first. In Portland homes, the main shutoff is typically near the meter at the street or where the supply enters the foundation. We walk you through it on the phone if you can't locate it.

Do you handle sewage backup emergencies?

Yes. Sewage backup is one of the most urgent calls we receive — health and property damage risks are immediate. We arrive with the equipment to clear main-line blockages, camera the line to confirm the cause, and recommend sewer repair if the lateral is compromised.

What should I do while waiting for an emergency plumber?

Shut off the water supply to stop active flow. Move valuables off wet floors. Do not use any drains or toilets connected to a backed-up system. If you smell gas, leave immediately and call the gas company before calling us.

What counts as a plumbing emergency?

A plumbing emergency is any situation where water is actively causing damage or cannot be controlled: burst pipes, sewage backup into living areas, overflowing toilets that won't stop, gas smell combined with plumbing noise, or a water heater leaking onto floors. When in doubt, call — we can advise over the phone and dispatch if needed.
