When a plumbing problem cannot wait until morning
A dripping faucet can wait. Water running down a wall cannot. The line between the two is whether damage is growing while you decide. Most emergencies fall into a short list: pipe bursts, sewage coming up a floor drain, a water heater leaking from the tank body, or a toilet that overflows no matter what you do.
If you can stop the water at a valve, do that first and the rest becomes a daytime repair. If you cannot find a shutoff, or the water is already near electrical outlets, call right away. The burst pipe repair page explains how to find and close the main valve in a typical Solon basement.
Backups are different. When sewage rises in a basement floor drain, the stoppage is usually in the lateral or the main line, and running more water only pushes more into your house. Stop using sinks, showers and toilets and call for sewer line cleaning before the next load of laundry makes it worse.
First move for the problems we hear about most
| What you see | Do this first | Who to call |
|---|---|---|
| Water spraying or pooling from a pipe | Close the main water valve | Plumber, now |
| Sewage or gray water in a floor drain | Stop all water use in the house | Plumber, now |
| Water heater leaking from the tank | Shut the cold supply valve and power or gas to the unit | Plumber, same day |
| Smell of gas near the water heater or boiler | Leave the building and call the gas utility or 911 | Gas utility, then us |
| Slow drain in one sink | Skip chemical cleaners and plunge gently | Plumber, next available |
A gas smell always comes first. Leave the house, call 911 or the gas company from outside, and only then call a plumber about the appliance.
Not sure if it is an emergency?
Describe it to a plumber on the phone. If it can safely wait for a daytime visit, we will say so.
A dispatch office on Aurora Road, not a call center
Solon 24/7 Plumbing works out of 29100 Aurora Road in Solon, so a call about a basement in the 44139 area goes to people who know the roads, the older split-levels and the newer subdivisions in the same city. We are licensed and insured, and we tell you the price before the work starts.
We also cover Twinsburg, Aurora, Bedford Heights and Chagrin Falls, because a storm or a hard freeze rarely stops at a city line.
Who owns what when water or sewer fails in Solon
Solon buys its water from Cleveland Water, which draws from Lake Erie and reports hardness around 7 grains per gallon. Moderately hard water leaves scale in water heaters and on fixtures, which is why a heater that has never been flushed tends to fail early. Ask us to check the tank when we are already on site.
For sewers, the City of Solon says the homeowner is responsible for the lateral from the house to the clean out. If sewage backs into your basement, the city asks you to call its Service Department, which checks the main first. If the main is clear, the next call is a licensed plumber, which is where we come in.
