What to do when water loss is active
Safety comes first. If water is uncontrolled and it is safe to do so, reduce water use or use the main shutoff. Avoid electrical hazards and do not enter unsafe areas simply to reach a valve.
2
Protect people first
Keep children, pets and occupants away from unsafe or wet areas where slips, electrical hazards or structural concerns are possible.
3
Document the conditions
Photograph visible moisture, flooring changes or damaged finishes and note when the symptom began.
4
Call for diagnosis
Describe the active symptom, the location, any meter or pressure change and whether the water is still flowing.
What not to do
Do not create a second problem while chasing the first
- Do not break concrete to “find” the leak.
- Do not assume a wet floor proves a slab leak.
- Do not promise insurance coverage before reading the policy.
- Do not ignore an active meter movement just because you see no puddle.
- Do not enter unsafe electrical or flooded areas.
- Do not approve a broad repipe before understanding the diagnosed issue.

Call nowUrgent repair decisions
Emergency does not automatically mean one repair method
An active leak can still lead to different repair scopes. The team may consider localized repair, direct access, tunneling, rerouting or broader line work after diagnosis. The urgency changes how quickly the situation needs attention; it does not eliminate the need for a suitable repair method.
1
Spot repair
Open only the area needed to reach a confirmed leak and repair the affected section.
2
Interior excavation
Create targeted interior access when the leak is located under finished space and another access route is not practical.
3
Exterior tunneling
Create access from outside the structure when site conditions make tunneling appropriate.
FAQ
Emergency slab leak questions
Is every slab leak an emergency?
An active uncontrolled leak or rapidly worsening water loss deserves prompt attention. A suspected intermittent problem still needs diagnosis, but the urgency depends on the circumstances.
Should I shut off the main water?
If there is uncontrolled flow and it is safe to do so, reducing supply can limit additional water discharge. Do not risk injury to access the valve.
Do I need to break the floor immediately?
No. The first goal is to understand the leak and minimize avoidable disruption.
Should I call my insurer before calling a plumber?
Policy requirements differ. Document the conditions and review your policy; also act reasonably to reduce ongoing damage when safe.
Is 24/7 emergency service available?
Only advertise 24/7 availability when the actual service operation has been verified.
