Life safety comes first

Suspect a gas leak?

If you smell rotten eggs, hear escaping gas, see fire, or believe anyone is in immediate danger: stop what you are doing. Do not operate switches, create a flame, or use a phone inside. Get everyone outside and call from a safe location.

Before we arrive

Only if it is safe and you know which valve to use, shut off the affected water source. Keep people away from sewage, standing water near electrical equipment, and unstable ceilings or finishes.

What we ask

  • What is happening right now?
  • Which rooms or building areas are affected?
  • Is water still moving or rising?
  • Is the main shutoff safely accessible?

What happens next

We answer emergency calls 24/7, assess immediate risk, and dispatch based on the condition, location, and available technicians. Arrival times can vary. Stabilization may be followed by diagnostics, a defined repair scope, and documentation.
