Water shutoff basics
When to shut off water
Shut off water if a pipe is actively leaking and you can do so safely, or if a fixture supply line is spraying and the fixture shutoff is not working.
When to call a plumber
Call My Georgia Plumber when the leak is on your property side, you cannot locate the shutoff, or you need repair after the water is off.
Gas safety basics
If you smell gas
Leave the area, do not operate switches or flames, and call your gas utility emergency line or 911 from a safe location. Do not search for leaks yourself.
When not to touch gas
Do not attempt to repair gas piping, loosen fittings, or use tools near a suspected leak. Gas work requires a licensed professional.
When to call the utility vs a plumber
The utility handles certain emergency gas supply concerns. Property-side gas line repairs and appliance connections are handled by a licensed plumber.
