plumber in Denver, CO

It’s inevitable that you will have a plumbing emergency at some point or another. Fortunately, all it takes to have a plumber in Colorado Springs, CO, from BullsEye Plumbing, Heating & Air come to your home to make the necessary repairs is a simple phone call. While you wait for our industry experts, it’s important to know how to handle your plumbing emergency.

Turn Off the Water

The first step you should take is to turn off the water by accessing the main valve to your home. This can shut off the water if you have a big emergency. If you have a smaller situation that involves a single plumbing fixture, you can simply turn off the water at that source, whether under a sink or behind your toilet.

Turn Off Your Water Heater

Your water heater should also be shut off for safety purposes. If you have a gas unit, turn off the gas first and then turn off the heater itself. This can prevent potential damage to your unit. You can turn it back on once you’ve had plumbing services completed.

Open Drains and Spigots

It’s a good idea to open drains and spigots to eliminate excess water and direct it out of your home. Turn on your hose and squeeze out water a few times as well. You can open up your drains by using a plunger if you have a clog. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners when you have an emergency plumbing situation as they can cause more harm than good.

Clean Up Leaks

While you wait for our plumbing repairs, you can also clean up leaks. Sop up excess water by using a mop, towels, and rags and apply plumbers tape to affected areas. You can also use buckets to collect leaking water.
