We’re a referral service with no local office; the independent plumber who takes your call decides whether they can reach you. This page is mostly for people running a shop, restaurant or office, with a short section for the homes nearby.
If it’s a business
Retail and restaurant spaces have more points of failure than most people realize: hand sinks, dishwashers, ice machines, coffee equipment, water heaters, floor drains and supply lines hidden above ceilings. When one of them lets go, the first steps are:
- Close the nearest shut-off. Look for a valve at the equipment, then one for the space, then the building main.
- Keep people clear of wet floors and of electrical equipment standing in water.
- Call the landlord or property manager. In a shopping center, they may control the building main and have a preferred contractor.
- Photograph the damage and inventory before anything is moved.
- Call us to be connected with an independent plumber, and say it’s a commercial space.
Our page on commercial burst pipe repair goes into who’s responsible and what the plumber needs to know.
Food businesses and the health department
If you serve food, a water outage or a flood can affect whether you can open. Water supply, hand washing and sewage are food-safety issues, and you should ask the relevant county authority what they require before reopening. We can’t advise on that, but we can say it’s worth asking early, not after you’ve reopened.
Tenant, landlord, or both?
A lease often splits plumbing responsibility: the landlord is normally responsible for the building’s shared supply and drains, and the tenant for equipment inside the space, though not always. It’s worth reading the lease before authorizing repairs, so you don’t pay for something that belongs to the landlord, and the other way around.
If it’s a home nearby
