Emergency Plumbing in Cache Valley, UT

Do these first

Shut off the main water valve. It is usually where the line enters the house, in a basement, utility room, or outdoor meter box.
If water is near outlets, appliances, or the panel, turn off power to that area only if you can do it safely.
Open a faucet at the lowest point in the house to drain the lines.
Move valuables out of the water and take photos for insurance.
If you smell gas, leave the house and call 911 or your gas utility from outside. Do not call a plumber first.

Signs you may need this

A burst pipe or water coming through a ceiling or wall
A frozen pipe, or a faucet that suddenly stops running in winter
Sewage backing up into a tub, shower, or floor drain
No water at all in the house
A toilet that keeps overflowing

What to expect

Emergency availability depends on the plumber who takes your call, so call rather than use the form for anything urgent. Say that it is an emergency and give your town. A plumber will usually ask where the water is coming from and whether you have been able to shut it off.

Common questions

What if the pipe is frozen but has not burst?

Open the faucet, then warm the pipe slowly with a hair dryer or a heating pad. Never use an open flame. If you cannot find the frozen section, or water starts leaking, shut off the main valve and call a plumber.

Does homeowners insurance cover a burst pipe?

Many policies cover sudden water damage, but coverage varies. Stop the water, photograph the damage, and call your insurance company. A plumber's written report of what failed can help your claim.
