Burst and Frozen Pipes quote in DeWitt

Tell us what the water is doing, whether it has stopped and whose home it is. A person reads every request and matches it to a licensed, insured plumber for the part that cannot wait. We cannot promise how soon a request sent at night is read, so close the main shutoff first.

Five quick questions about what the water is doing and whether it has stopped, then your details. It takes about a minute, and the answers go to a person who reads them.

Question 1What is happening right now?
Question 2Has the water stopped?

If water under pressure is still running, closing the main shutoff inside the house, where the supply pipe comes through the wall, stops it. Leave the valve at the street alone: only the water utility's own staff may operate it.

Question 3Is anything near electricity or gas?

If you smell gas, leave the house first, then phone the gas utility or 911 from outside. Do not touch water that is near outlets or the electrical panel.

Question 4Whose home is it?

In a rental the landlord is usually responsible for the plumbing and for keeping hot water running, so it helps to know who needs to hear about this.

Question 5Are you thinking of making an insurance claim?

New York's insurance regulator advises keeping receipts for temporary fixes and holding off permanent repairs until the insurer has had the chance to inspect. Knowing this now shapes what gets done tonight and what waits.

Deciding

DeWitt: an empty house next door in a freeze

About 6.5 percent of DeWitt homes stand vacant. In a hard freeze, water running from a neighbor's empty house is worth reporting to the owner or OCWA, because nobody is inside to close the valve.

Section 4.4 of the OCWA Customer Rules states that the curb stop valve may not be used by the customer to turn the water on or off and is to be operated exclusively by an Authority employee. Section 4.5 requires the customer to install two shutoff valves, the first inside the building wall no further than 12 inches from that wall, and the second adjacent to the meter.

What burst and frozen pipes involves in DeWitt

Local Context

First steps at a DeWitt burst

A pipe has split in a DeWitt house. Close the valve inside the foundation wall or the one beside the meter; the valve at the road belongs to OCWA staff. With the water off, the plumber's job tonight is a temporary repair and a record, and the permanent repair follows the insurer's look.
