Frequently asked questions
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Anything that is actively causing water damage, leaves you without water or a working toilet, or sends sewage back into the house is an emergency. A burst pipe, a leaking water heater, or a backed-up main drain all qualify. If you are not sure, call or text and describe what you are seeing, and we will tell you honestly whether it can wait.
What should I do while I wait for a plumber to arrive?
Shut off the water to the fixture or the whole house to stop the flow. Move valuables away from the water, soak up what you can, and turn off power to any area where water is near outlets or appliances. If the water heater is leaking, turn off its gas or breaker as well.
How do I shut off the water to my whole house?
Look for the main shutoff valve where the water line comes into the house, usually in the basement, crawl space, or utility room near the front wall. Turn a round handle clockwise until it stops, or turn a lever handle a quarter turn so it sits across the pipe. If you cannot find it or it will not turn, call us and we can walk you through it.
Do you come out at night and on weekends?
Yes, LMK Plumbing is available 24/7 for plumbing emergencies. Call or text any time and we will let you know how quickly we can get there.
Can I text instead of calling?
Yes. You can text (513) 597-0717 any time, and photos of the problem are welcome. For a true emergency, a call is usually the fastest way to reach us.
