Protect Your Brooklyn Home with Emergency Valve Tagging

In the event of a plumbing emergency, will our Brooklyn neighbors know what to do to ensure the safety of their homes?

When Minutes Count

A plumbing emergency requires immediate action. If a pipe bursts, you need to shut off the water immediately. A few minutes can make the difference between a mess and an expensive catastrophe. Shutting off the water is easy, right? Just use your home’s main shut-off valve. When the clock is ticking, though, can you find the right valve quickly?

Petri Plumbing & Heating, Brooklyn’s family plumber, can help. We take protecting our neighbors seriously, so we offer a free emergency valve tagging service. By labeling each valve in your home, we make it easy to find the right one quickly. Once the immediate threat of water damage is averted, you can call us 24/7 for emergency repairs.

While you’re waiting for our quick response, remember a few extra steps to minimize water damage to your home:

• Clear up standing water with a wet-dry vacuum or a sump pump/ejector pump.
• Remove any wet or damaged items from the affected areas.
• Use fans and a dehumidifier to help speed up drying.

Natural gas

Although we’d like to say valve tagging can make responding to all emergencies easier, there are times when the best response is to leave everything to the professionals. Leaking natural gas lines are a threat to both home and life. If you smell the odor of rotten eggs, it pays to be careful. Immediately leave your house or apartment. Once you’re safe, call 911 and your gas company to report the leak.  After you’ve done all that, give Petri Plumbing a call for professional gas line repair services.
