First moves
What to do in a plumbing emergency before the plumber arrives
The first few minutes decide how much damage a leak or backup causes. These steps are safe for most homeowners and they work whether you call us or anyone else.
- Find the main water valveMost homes have one where the water line enters the building, often in a garage, basement, crawlspace or at the meter box. Turn it clockwise until it stops.
- Stop using drains and toiletsIf water is backing up, every flush and sink drain adds to the problem. Wait until the line is cleared.
- Keep people away from wet electrical areasWater near outlets, panels and appliances is a shock risk. Leave that area alone and shut off power at the breaker only if you can reach it dry.
- Smell gas? Leave firstIf you smell gas, leave the building and call PSE or 911 from outside. Do not use switches or phones inside.
- Photograph the damage, then callTake pictures for your insurer before you move anything. Then call our line and tell the dispatcher what you see.
Lakewood housing
Why Lakewood plumbing calls look the way they do
The median Lakewood home was built in 1974, according to Census survey data for 2019 to 2023. Pipes, water heaters and sewer lines in houses that age are well into the range where leaks, clogs and failed tanks show up, so a call to a plumber here is often about wear rather than a freak accident.
About 60 percent of homes were built before 1980. For you that means older drain lines, older water heaters and shutoff valves that may not have been turned in years, so locating your main shutoff valve now is the cheapest plumbing insurance there is.
Roughly 55 percent of Lakewood households rent. Tenants should call their landlord for non-urgent repairs, and any renter facing rising water or a burst line can call our 24/7 emergency plumber line directly to stop the damage first.
Neighborhoods such as Tillicum, Springbrook, Oakbrook and Lake City each have their own mix of housing eras, and the Lakewood Water District supplies most of the city. If you want to know what is in your water, ask the district for its annual water quality report or test your tap.
