What should I do if I smell gas in my house?

Leave the property right away. Don't turn any switches on or off, don't light anything, and don't use your phone until you're outside. Call 911 or your gas utility's emergency line from a safe distance. Once the utility confirms it's safe, or if the line itself needs repair, that's when a plumber gets involved.

Is a sewage backup an actual emergency?

Yes. Sewage backing up into a tub, shower, or floor drain is a health hazard, not something to leave until Monday. Avoid using drains and toilets connected to the affected line until a plumber looks at it, and keep kids and pets away from the area. Call (831) 300-2203 to get connected with a local plumber.

What causes a pipe to burst?

Most bursts come from freeze and thaw cycles that expand water inside a pipe until it cracks, aging or corroded pipe material giving out under normal pressure, or a sudden pressure spike in the system. Older galvanized or cast iron lines are more prone to failure than newer PEX or copper. Once a pipe bursts, the fix is usually a patch repair or, for a longer stretch of bad pipe, a full section replacement.

How do I prevent frozen pipes?

Keep cabinet doors open under sinks on exterior walls so warm air reaches the pipes, let a faucet drip slightly during a hard freeze, and insulate pipes in unheated spaces like a garage, attic, or crawlspace. Heat tape on exposed pipes helps in especially cold climates. None of this is foolproof during an extended deep freeze, which is when calls for frozen pipe thawing spike.

What are the signs of a slab leak?

An unexplained spike in the water bill, a warm spot on the floor if it's a hot water line, the sound of running water when nothing's turned on, or cracks in flooring or the foundation are the usual signs. A plumber can often narrow it down using acoustic listening equipment or a pressure test before deciding whether a spot repair or a trenchless re-route makes more sense.
