Emergency Plumber in Abilene, TX

Request a plumberShut off the water first
Turn the main valve clockwise to stop a burst pipe. In many Abilene homes it's in a box near the street or where the line enters the house.
Water heater leaks
Turn off the cold supply at the top of the tank and the gas or power before calling.
Sewer backups
Stop running water and flushing until the line is cleared; see sewer and septic lines.

Leave the house and call the gas company from outside before anything else.
Electrical safety
Keep away from outlets and appliances if water is near them.

Move valuables, mop up and photograph everything for insurance.
