Emergency Plumber in Regina, SK

Close the main

In most Regina homes the main water valve is in the basement, on the wall where the service line comes in from the street, close to the water meter. Close it fully, then open a tap on the lowest floor so the pipes drain and the water stops feeding the leak.

Water near power

If water is spreading near the furnace, the hot water tank or the electrical panel, don't walk through it. Switch off power from a dry spot if you safely can. If the panel is in the wet area, keep out and contact the power utility for help.

Sewage at the floor drain

Sewage coming up through the basement floor drain or a basement toilet means the line is blocked or the city sewer is overloaded. Stop using water everywhere in the house. If you have a backwater valve, check that it has closed and isn't jammed open.

After a winter burst

A pipe that froze overnight may only start leaking once it thaws. If you hear water running inside a wall or ceiling as the house warms up, close the main straight away and look for wet spots below the area.

Record the damage

Take photos of where the water started and what it has reached before cleanup. They help the plumber plan and support any insurance claim.

What to send

Where the water is, whether the main is off, whether it's clean water or sewage, and how long it ran. Send a request and a plumber will get in touch.

If you rent

Tenants should shut off the water first, then contact the landlord or property manager straight away. Photos of the damage and the time it started help everyone sort out the next steps.
