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.

Local Context

First steps at a North Syracuse water heater

The water heater is leaking or the hot water has gone. Turn the gas control to off or switch off its breaker if you can reach it dry, close the cold valve on top of the tank, and keep people away from the hot water. If you smell gas, leave the house first. The water heater page sets out the full order.

Deciding

North Syracuse rentals and the hot water rule

Outside the City of Syracuse the state property maintenance code requires water heating that delivers at least 110 degrees to every sink, tub and shower. For a North Syracuse tenant, that makes a dead heater the owner's repair; report it in writing that day.
