What Counts As An Emergency

A plumbing emergency in Oak Ridge is anything that is damaging the house or making it unsafe to stay in:

• A burst or actively leaking pipe that you cannot stop
• Sewage backing up into a tub, shower or floor drain
• A water heater leaking heavily or venting hot water
• No water at any tap
• A frozen pipe in a hard freeze
• A gas smell: leave the house and call the gas utility first

A dripping tap or one slow drain can wait for a normal visit. When you need an emergency plumber in Oak Ridge, our team is ready to help.

What To Do Right Now

Emergency plumbing in Oak Ridge starts with the homeowner. Close the main water shut-off, where the line enters the house or at the meter box near the street. Open a cold tap on the lowest floor to drain the pressure. If water is near outlets, wiring or the electrical panel, switch off the affected breakers without standing in water. For a leaking water heater, close its cold-water valve and turn off its power or gas. For a sewage backup, stop using all water. Then call (865) 272-4209. Our guide explains how to find your water shut-off. We will ensure that your emergency plumbing repair in Oak Ridge is handled by professionals.
