Before you pick up the phone

Why waiting is sometimes the smart move

A problem that can wait gives you time to take readings, look up a contractor's license and get the scope in writing. Rushed decisions are more likely to mean paying for parts that were not the cause. The key is making sure the problem is contained first: water off, people safe, fixtures not in use.

Common questions

Is low pressure ever an emergency?

Only if it comes with a burst pipe, flooding or no water at all. Otherwise it can usually be scheduled.

What if I cannot close the main shutoff?

Treat it as urgent. Close fixture stops where you can and call a licensed plumber. Check with the city before using a valve on the street side of the meter.
