A: A plumbing emergency includes burst pipes, major water leaks, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, no hot water, gas leaks near water heaters, and any situation where water is actively damaging your home. In Clearwater, where sandy with high water table soil and concrete block foundations make water damage especially costly, we recommend calling immediately rather than waiting. The cost of emergency service is far less than the cost of water damage repair.

A: Shut off the main water valve immediately. This is usually located near your water meter or where the main line enters your home. Open a faucet to relieve pressure. Turn off the water heater to prevent damage. Clean up standing water if safe to do so. Then call us at (813) 343-2212. In Clearwater, where concrete block homes on sandy with high water table soil can suffer foundation damage from standing water, fast action is critical.

A: Shut off the main water valve if you have not already. Use towels or a wet vacuum to contain water and prevent it from spreading. Move valuables away from the affected area. Do not use chemical drain cleaners as they can damage cast iron and galvanized steel (older), PVC (newer) pipes and make the plumber’s job harder. If the issue involves a sewer backup, avoid flushing toilets or running water anywhere in the house. Take photos for insurance documentation.

In Clearwater, where moderate – banyan trees and tropical landscaping in mainland areas and cast iron and galvanized steel (older), PVC (newer) sewer lines from the 1950s to 1990s are common, root intrusion and pipe collapse cause most backups. We use video inspection to identify the cause and hydro-jetting or mechanical cleaning to clear the blockage. For collapsed lines, we offer trenchless pipe repair that minimizes damage to your yard.
