Have a plumbing emergency? Need help now?

Your emergency is our emergency. If you are without water or unable to use your facilities, call Raymark. Whatever the emergency, the plumbers at Raymark are available 24/7 and will respond promptly.

Call Raymark Plumbing & Sewer at (206) 440-9077. One of our expert plumbers will assess the situation and give you options to fix the problem immediately. Below are some common emergency scenarios that our plumbers can help you resolve.

Do You Have a Water Leak?

Is this leak constant or intermittent? Can you control the leak?
Can you tell if the leak is freshwater or wastewater?
Is there an odor to the water?
If you have water stains or water damage, the leak may have been going on for a while.
If the leak is an immediate problem, don’t hesitate. Call Raymark Plumbing & Sewer at (206) 440-9077

Is Water Running and You Can’t Control It?

If a freshwater pipe bursts or water is leaking from a pipe or valve, find your home’s water shut-off valve and turn off the water to the house. This shut-off valve should be clearly marked and is usually located where the water service comes into the house, often close to the hot water tank.
If you are unable to locate your main shut-off, contact Raymark Plumbing & Sewer at (206) 440-9077, and we will manage the emergency.

Is Water Leaking Outside or an Elevated Water Bill?

If freshwater is still running after the house shut-off valve is closed, go outside and look at your city meter
Is it still moving? If so, you may have a break in the line
Raymark Plumbing & Sewer at (206) 440-9077. We have the tools needed to shut off your water at the meter.

Did a Faucet Break or Water Won’t Shut Off?

Most faucets have a water shut-off valve under their sink. Raymark Plumbing & Sewer recommends shutting the water off at that location to control the leak.
If there’s no shut-off at the faucet, try to find the home’s water shut-off valve and then try to turn off the water to the house.
Call Raymark Plumbing & Sewer at (206) 440-9077. We will take care of the problem.

Is Sewer Backing Up?

If your sewer is backing up, stop using your water and don’t flush the toilets. Consider going to a neighbor’s house to use the facilities.
Call Raymark Plumbing & Sewer at (206) 440-9077. We can get your sewer open and flowing as expected.

Is Sewer Backing Up in a Storm?

If there’s too much water for your side sewer to handle, try redirecting your downspouts away from the side sewer line. The intent is to redirect the water from the pipe going into the ground, and into trees or areas away from the house.
Call Raymark Plumbing & Sewer at (206) 440-9077 for help. We’ve been performing drain and sewer work for over 40 years and are the experts in this field.

Is a Toilet Clogged?

Try and plunge the toilet with a toilet plunger (not a flat bottomed sink plunger)
If the toilet won’t clear, call Raymark Plumbing & Sewer at (206) 440-9077. Our expert plumbers are happy to help.

Are Multiple Drains Plugged or Slow?

If drainage problems are located at the lowest level of your home, you may have a sewer problem. If only a section of drains is affected, it may be a clog in one of the drain lines
Call Raymark Plumbing & Sewer at (206) 440-9077. Our experienced plumbers know everything about drains and sewer lines and are happy to help you.

Keep Tools Handy

It pays to have the necessary tools on hand, such as a wrench, to turn off your water if needed. Keep these tools handy for emergencies, and place them as close to the shut-off location as possible, so you can shut off water or gas immediately.

Label each tool so it’s clear in an emergency what tool does what. Additionally, label your home’s main shut-off valve so that anyone in your home knows immediately what it is.

Having the right tool available can prevent costly water damage to floors, ceilings, furniture, and belongings.

Location of Water Shut-Off Valve

Usually, the main water shut-off valve is located in the parking strip or near the street. The meter and the shut-off valve are located inside an iron box with a lid.

Inside the house, your water shut-off valve could be in your basement, near where the water line enters the home. If it’s not there, try and trace the water lines to find the shut-off. It should be clearly marked. If not marked, create a large paper tag indicating WATER SHUT OFF and tie that tag to the valve or pipe.

If you don’t have a water shut-off valve inside your home, call Raymark Plumbing & Sewer, and one of our expert plumbers will install one. Seattle Public Utilities highly recommends that all homes have a water shut-off valve.

Tips

Keep a wrench by the door nearest to your water main for emergency shut-off. If you have a Top Shut Off (TSO) valve, it can be shut off with a crescent wrench. Turn the valve until the 2 holes align. Visit the Seattle Public Utilities website for more details. If you have an older water meter, call SPU for help in shutting off the outside water line.

Draw a map and post it on your home’s bulletin board or information center. Add fire extinguisher locations and emergency exits to the map as well. Discuss this map over dinner with your family.

Install earthquake automatic shut off valves for water and gas lines. Raymark Plumbing & Sewer Plumbers are happy to assist with this.

We can also install a shut off valve if your home doesn’t have one. Find the main water shut off valve outside. This is usually in the city water meter box in the front yard.
