What to Do in a Plumbing Emergency

An overflowing toilet, active leak or backed-up drain can get messy fast. While you're arranging plumbing service in Kingston, a few simple steps can help prevent the problem from getting worse.

1

Stop Using the Affected Fixture

Don't keep flushing an overflowing toilet or running water into a sink or drain that's backing up. Adding more water can make the problem worse.

2

Shut Off the Water if Needed

If water is actively escaping from a fixture or supply line, use the appropriate shutoff valve if you can safely access it. A larger uncontrolled leak may require the home's main shutoff.

3

Keep Clear of Electrical Hazards

If water has reached electrical equipment, outlets or wiring, keep away from the affected area and don't touch electrical components.

4

Call and Explain What's Happening

Tell us what's leaking, overflowing or backing up and whether you've been able to stop the water. That helps us understand the situation before service begins.

Kingston FAQ

Emergency Plumbing Questions

A leak, backup or blocked drain can get stressful pretty quickly. Here are answers to some common questions about emergency plumbing and drain problems in Kingston.

Still not sure what to do?

Tell us what's happening and we can help determine the appropriate next step and confirm current service availability.

01 What is considered a plumbing emergency?

A plumbing problem may require urgent attention when water cannot be controlled, wastewater is backing up, a pipe is actively leaking, an essential fixture cannot be used or the problem could cause additional damage to the home. If you are unsure, call and explain what is happening.

02 What should I do if a drain starts backing up?

Stop using the affected fixture. If several drains are backing up, avoid running additional sinks, toilets, showers or appliances that discharge water into the drainage system. Adding more water can make the backup worse. Contact a plumber to assess the blockage and determine the appropriate drain cleaning method.

03 Is a completely clogged drain an emergency?

It can be. A single slow drain may be able to wait for regular service, but a completely blocked drain becomes more urgent when the fixture cannot be used, water is overflowing or wastewater is backing up. Multiple affected drains can also indicate a blockage farther along the drainage system.

04 What should I do if a pipe is leaking?

If you can do so safely, shut off the water supplying the affected plumbing and move belongings away from the water. For a significant leak where the source cannot be isolated, the home's main water shutoff may need to be used. Then contact a plumber to assess and repair the problem.

05 Why are several drains backing up at the same time?

When multiple fixtures begin draining poorly or backing up around the same time, the problem may be located in a shared drain or farther along the home's drainage system rather than at one individual fixture. A plumber can assess the drainage problem and determine where the blockage is located.

06 Should I keep flushing a toilet that is backing up?

No. If the water level is rising instead of going down, stop flushing the toilet. Another flush can cause the bowl to overflow. If the blockage cannot be safely cleared, plumbing or drain service may be needed.

07 Do you provide emergency plumbing service in Kingston and Queen's?
