What to Do While You Wait for Us
Don’t panic. Follow these steps to protect your home in the 45–60 minutes before we arrive:
Find your main water shut-off valve (usually near the street or where the main line enters the house) and turn it clockwise.
If you’ve shut off the main water, turn off the power (at the breaker) or gas to your water heater to prevent it from burning out.
This helps drain the remaining water out of your pipes and away from the leak.
Move furniture, rugs, or electronics away from the water to prevent further damage.
Why Jacksonville Emergencies Are Different
Jacksonville’s unique environment often dictates the type of emergencies we see. Our high water table, especially in areas near the St. Johns River or Pumpkin Hill (32226), means that a small leak can quickly lead to major foundation issues or mold growth in Florida’s humidity.
Furthermore, our “extremely hard” water (15.3 grains per gallon) leads to sudden sediment “avalanches” inside older water heaters, causing them to burst without warning. Whether you’re in a historic 1920s bungalow in Riverside (32205) or a newer build in Bartram Park (32258), we arrive with the specific parts needed for Jax-specific plumbing systems.
