In a plumbing emergency, it’s important to know exactly what to do to minimize the damage to your home. So first, stay calm and have a plan.

Always know where your main water shutoff valve is, as well as the shutoffs for all of your fixtures. If you are experiencing a leak or clog, turn off the water to stop the issue from getting worse. Then call us at Mattioni, where you will speak to a customer service representative right away.

We will get you on our schedule for the same day to get your emergency resolved as quickly as possible, and get your plumbing system running again. If it is safe, do your best to begin to move your belongings away from the leak and clean up any standing water that is leaked in your home while you wait for us to arrive.

This will help to prevent further damage or growth of mold or mildew. Also, it’s a good practice to take photos of any damage that occurs for insurance purposes.
