Don't Panic! A Guide to Emergency Plumbing Services in New Orleans

Rigo Rodriguez • March 22, 2024

Unexpected plumbing issues can catch anyone off guard. But, in New Orleans, where the vibrant life is as much a constant as the unpredictable weather, it's not unusual for residents to face sudden plumbing crises. Imagine this: a pipe bursts out of nowhere, a drain clogs and overflows, or a toilet decides to rebel at the least opportune moment. Such events can disrupt your day, cause stress, and result in significant damage to your property. But there's no need to panic! Plumb and Square, your trusted New Orleans plumber for both residential and commercial needs, is on standby to help you handle any plumbing emergency with ease and confidence.


What to Do When Disaster Strikes

First things first: stay calm and assess the situation. Determine where the problem is coming from and try to understand its severity. Is it a small leak that's under control, or are we talking about a fountain in what used to be your peaceful living room? Assessing the extent of the problem will guide you on how urgent the situation is.


  • Contain the Threat Immediately: Here are critical steps to minimize damage:
  • Shut off the Water: In New Orleans, the main water shut-off valve is typically located near the water meter. Find it and turn it clockwise to halt the water flow. If locating it proves challenging, don't hesitate to reach out to Plumb and Square for guidance and quick assistance.
  • Manage the Leak: Use towels, buckets, and any suitable containers to catch and divert water away from valuables and furnishings.
  • Call Plumb and Square: Once you've done what you can to control the situation, it's time to bring in the experts. Plumb and Square provides emergency plumbing services around the clock. We ensure that a licensed and insured professional plumber reaches your doorstep without delay.
  • Pro Tip: While waiting for our plumber to arrive, open all the faucets in your home to release any remaining pressure in the pipes, which can help prevent further damage.
