It’s 10:47 PM in College Park. The kitchen sink is overflowing. There’s water leaking from somewhere behind the wall. You don’t know who to call — and you’re just trying to stop the damage.
At Adams Plumbing & Drain Company, we’ve helped hundreds of Mobile homeowners in the exact same moment. If you’re facing a plumbing emergency right now, here’s what you need to do step-by-step to stay safe and limit damage — before we arrive.
🔧 Step 1: Shut Off the Water
If you can see water spilling out from any fixture, appliance, or pipe — the very first move is to turn off the water supply.
- For sinks or toilets: look for a valve directly beneath or behind the fixture.
- For whole-home issues: locate your main shutoff valve, usually in a crawlspace, garage, or where the water line enters the home.
Can’t find it? Call us — we’ll walk you through it over the phone until we get there.
🚽 Step 2: Avoid Using Any Other Fixtures
Don’t flush the toilet, run the washer, or turn on the faucet in another room.
Why? Because in many emergencies (like sewer line backups or burst pipes), additional usage can make things worse — flooding other areas or pushing water out of unexpected places.
🔦 Step 3: Look for Obvious Hazards
While you’re waiting on the emergency plumber, take note of:
- Ceiling sagging or bubbling — water may be pooling above
- Exposed electrical wires near leaks — do not touch anything
- Strong odors — could indicate sewer gas from a backup
If anything feels unsafe, exit that room and wait for our tech to arrive.
