Limits and next step
These steps are general safety guidance, not a substitute for emergency services where there is immediate danger. Availability, dispatch and pricing are confirmed by the provider on the call; this site does not guarantee same-day service or a dispatch time. If you are unsure whether a situation is safe, treat it as unsafe and stay clear.
Before you call — have this ready
Your symptom in plain words, when it started, whether it grows with fixture use or with rain, your meter result if you did the test, and your exact physical service address. That list is what lets a provider confirm your ZIP and service type on the first call instead of calling back for basic facts. If water is spreading or near electrics, skip the list and call now.
Suspect a leak? Do not wait for the bill or the stain to grow.

Frequently asked questions
Should I call before or after shutting off water?
After, if shutoff is safe and quick. Stopping water first limits damage. If shutoff is not safe, call first and stay clear.
Is every stain an emergency?
No. A slow stain is usually an inspection job. An emergency is active spreading, a burst, water near electrics, or a bulging ceiling.
