Find the shut-off fast

Many Savannah homes have the main shut-off at the meter box near the street; houses on raised foundations often have a second valve under the house where the line comes up. Learn where yours is before you need it.

Is it an emergency?

Yes if a pipe is spraying, a ceiling is bulging, sewage is coming up a tub or floor drain, the water heater tank itself is leaking, or there's no water at all. A dripping faucet or a running toilet can wait for a regular appointment.

Storm nights

Heavy summer storms and tropical systems are when lines back up. If water is rising in a shower or floor drain during a storm, stop using water in the house and say so in the request.

The rare freeze

Savannah sees only a handful of freezing nights most winters, so pipes in crawl spaces and on outside walls are rarely protected. The city has dropped to 3°F, in the January 1985 Arctic outbreak. When a hard freeze is forecast, plumbers get busy fast.

If you smell gas

Get everyone outside, then contact the gas company from a safe distance. Don't use switches, phones or anything that could spark inside the house.

Help the plumber help you

Tell them where the water is coming from, whether the main is closed, roughly how long it's been leaking and whether anything electrical got wet. Photos from a safe spot help.
