What You Can Do Before We Arrive to Your Plumbing Emergency

While our team is on the way, there are a few simple steps you can take to minimize water damage and keep your family safe. Here’s how to buy yourself valuable time in an emergency.

 

  • Shut off your main water valve: Usually found outside near a hose bib or in your garage. Turning it off stops water flow to the whole house.

  • Turn off your water heater: If you suspect a major leak, shut it down to prevent pressure issues or damage.

  • Contain water: Use towels, buckets, or pans to collect drips and keep leaks from spreading.

  • Avoid electrical hazards: If water is near outlets or wiring, stay clear until we give the all-clear.

  • Don’t use affected fixtures: Toilets, sinks, or showers tied to the problem area could make things worse.

 

And remember — once you’ve done the basics, let us handle the rest. Our licensed team will take it from there, safely and efficiently.

Will Insurance Cover My Plumbing Emergency?

Every policy is different, but many homeowners insurance plans cover sudden, accidental water damage — like a burst pipe inside your walls. Coverage often doesn’t include the cost to repair the pipe itself, but it does typically help with damage cleanup and restoration. Multiple pipe bursts could signal aging plumbing. If that’s the case, we might recommend a whole house repipe to protect your home long term.

 

Although we ourselves cannot help you with your insurance claim, here is a small checklist for you to keep track of:

  • Review your policy or call your insurance agent to see what’s included.

  • Take photos of the damage before we make repairs — it can speed up your claim.

  • Save receipts and paperwork; most adjusters want detailed invoices.

 

We’ll provide clear documentation to support your claim and help make the process as smooth as possible.

Called three plumbers for a burst pipe — LGE was the only one to answer and actually come that same evening. They worked quickly and cleaned up like it never happened. Highly recommend.
