What should I do if I smell gas?

The smell of gas is a serious safety hazard. If you detect a gas leak, immediately:
  1. Evacuate your home or building.
  2. Call your gas company's emergency line or 999.
  3. Do not light matches or use electrical appliances near the suspected leak.
  4. Do not attempt to fix the leak yourself.

How to turn off the water main?

Knowing how to turn off your main water supply is crucial during plumbing emergencies. The location of the main water shut-off valve varies; however, it's usually located near the water meter, inside your home's utility closet or basement, or outside near the property line. The valve is typically a wheel-type valve that turns off by rotating it. If you're unsure of the location, it's best to locate it during non-emergency times to avoid any difficulty when you need to use it.

What causes a sewer backup?

Sewer backups occur when wastewater backs up into your home's plumbing system. Common causes include blockages in the main sewer line caused by:
  • Tree roots intruding into the sewer line.
  • Accumulation of grease, debris, and other materials.
  • Blockages in the sewer pipes.
  • Heavy rainfall and flooding that overwhelms the city's sewer system.
  • Improper maintenance of the sewer system.
If you experience a sewer backup, contact an emergency plumber immediately to resolve the issue.

How to unclog a drain?

For minor clogs, try a plunger first. Baking soda and vinegar can also be effective. If these fail, a drain snake (or auger) may be required. For stubborn clogs, a professional plumber can use hydro jetting to clear blockages.
