Shut off the main water valve right away, then call. Every minute of running water adds to floor, wall, and ceiling damage.
This is a health risk. Stop using water in the house and keep people and pets away from the affected area.
Turn off the water supply to the heater and its power or gas. A leaking tank rarely fixes itself and can fail suddenly.
A leak above you is spreading. Turn off the main water valve and move belongings out from under the spot.
Pipes may be frozen and could split as they thaw. Open a faucet, turn off the main, and call before thawing with heat.
Turn the shut-off valve behind the toilet clockwise. If sewage rises in other drains too, the main line may be blocked.
Leave the house right away and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Do not switch lights or appliances on or off.

Georgia winters are mild most years, but hard freezes still happen. During the December 2022 freeze, burst pipes damaged homes and businesses across metro Atlanta. Pipes in exterior walls, attics, and crawl spaces in Peachtree City, Tyrone, and Newnan are the most exposed when temperatures drop.
Heavy rain can also turn a slow drain into a backup, especially where roots have found their way into older sewer lines. Holidays bring more cooking, guests, and laundry, which strains drains and water heaters. Whatever the day or hour, the price you see is not raised for nights, weekends, or holidays.
Cold snaps can split pipes in attics, crawl spaces, and exterior walls that rarely see freezing weather.
Roots entering older sewer pipes can cause sudden backups, often after heavy rain.
Extra guests, cooking, and laundry push disposals, drains, and water heaters harder than usual.

Turn off your main water shut-off valve right away. It is often near the water heater, in a crawl space, or where the line enters the house. Then turn off power to any wet area, move valuables, and call a plumber. Photos of the damage can help with insurance claims.
Some companies add after-hours or holiday fees. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing does not. The company states it doesn't charge after-hour fees, even during holidays and weekends. You still get a full menu of options and the total cost before any work begins, whatever time you call.
Call right away for active leaks, burst pipes, sewage backing up, a leaking water heater tank, or no water at all. If the problem can wait, such as a slow drip or one slow drain, you can book a scheduled visit. When in doubt, call and we will help you decide.
In many homes it is near the water heater, in a garage, in a crawl space, or where the water line enters the house. There is also a valve at the meter near the street. Find yours before an emergency, and make sure it turns freely.
No. We don't charge after-hour fees, even during holidays and weekends. The upfront price for your repair is based on the work, not the clock. Your technician shows you a full menu of options and total costs before any work begins.
Disconnect garden hoses, cover outdoor spigots, and let faucets on exterior walls drip slowly on the coldest nights. Open sink cabinet doors so warm air reaches the pipes. If you leave town, keep the heat on. Insulating pipes in attics and crawl spaces adds protection.
Stop using all water in the house, including toilets, sinks, and the washing machine. Keep people and pets away from the affected area. Then call a plumber. Repeated backups often point to a blocked or damaged main sewer line, which may need a camera inspection.
Never use an open flame. Gentle heat from a hair dryer can thaw an exposed pipe, but keep the faucet open and watch for leaks as it thaws. If you cannot reach the frozen section, or it may already be split, turn off the main and call us.
