What it is
Plumbing emergency A plumbing emergency is any failure that is actively damaging the building, cutting off water to the whole house, or exposing people to sewage right now.
A Denver homeowner facing one of these situations should shut off the main water valve immediately and call, because damage and risk grow the longer water or sewage keeps moving.
