Emergency Plumbing Colorado Springs, CO

We generally recommend calling for emergency plumbing service in Colorado Springs when:

• You have sewage flowing into your home and you can’t stop it. Sewage can carry bacteria and cause other diseases, so this is not a problem you want to leave for later. It also smells bad and may render your house unlivable until you fix the issue.
• You have water damage that you can’t stop. Water can also be a breeding ground for bacteria, as well as mold, mildew, and more. If you can’t stop the flow, get a plumber to help ASAP.
• You need to use part of your home and you can’t. If you can’t use the toilet, get water to drink out of your faucet, or take a shower, bring in an emergency plumber in Colorado Springs ASAP to get that functionality back

If you are experiencing water damage, try turning off the flow of water. You may still want to call an experienced plumber, but you can limit the amount of damage done if you can get the water to stop.

First, if it is a sink or a toilet that is leaking, try to find the turnoff valve for that particular part of your home. It may be under the sink or behind the toilet. Turn the knob or lever all the way to the right to stop the water.

If the flow is coming from somewhere else or that doesn’t work, turn off the main water valve for your home. It’s usually in the basement or the garage. Again, turn it all the way to the right and see if the water stops.

If you do this last one, don’t use any water in your home until we fix the problem!
