Plumbing help for leaks, clogs and water heaters
From a running toilet to no hot water to a burst pipe: know what to do first, then get one licensed local plumber.
Before a pro arrives
- Close the fixture's shut-off valve, or the main valve for a burst pipe.
- Stop using a drain or toilet that's backing up.
- For a leaking water heater, turn off its cold-water inlet and its gas or power.
- Put a bucket and towels under drips.
Call for help now if: A pipe has burst, sewage is backing up, or you smell gas near the water heater. For gas, fire or injury, leave and call 911 first.

FAQ
Questions
Should I use chemical drain cleaner?
Many plumbers advise against it, since it can damage pipes and makes the job riskier for the plumber. Tell the pro if you've already used one.
Repair or replace my water heater?
Age and the type of failure decide it. A plumber can tell you after an inspection.
