Taking immediate action while our mobile service truck is en route can prevent thousands of dollars in structural damage:
Shut Off Main Water
Locate your main water shutoff valve (by the street meter box, garage wall, or exterior hose bibb) and turn it fully clockwise.
Kill Electrical Power
If water is pooling near electrical outlets, appliances, or baseboards, shut off the relevant breaker switches on your main electrical panel.

Emergency Plumbing FAQ
What should I do immediately while waiting for an emergency plumber to arrive in Jacksonville?
First, immediately locate and turn off your home's main water shutoff valve (usually situated near your water meter box by the street curb, in your garage, or on the exterior wall near the hose bibb). Turn the valve clockwise or perpendicular to the pipe. Second, if water is leaking near electrical outlets, appliances, or panels, turn off the corresponding breaker on your electrical panel if it is safe to access without stepping in water. Third, open the lowest exterior hose faucet to relieve remaining pressure in the lines. Finally, call Jacksonville Plumber Expert at +1 (904) 617-0826 so our rapid response team can dispatch immediately.
