What to do in the first hour of a water emergency
In the first hour of any home water emergency, the goal is to stop the water and keep it from spreading:
- Shut off the main water valve (or the fixture valve) to stop the source.
- Turn off electricity to wet areas if you can do so without standing in water.
- Take photos and video of the source and damage for insurance.
- Move furniture, rugs, and valuables out of the water.
- Call a plumber to fix the source and a restoration crew to start drying.

When Nashville-area homeowners need emergency water help
Homeowners usually need emergency help when water is actively leaking, sewage is backing up, a water heater or appliance has failed, or a basement or crawl space has flooded. Hard freezes, heavy spring rain, and aging pipes are the most common triggers in Middle Tennessee.
Why water emergencies happen in Middle Tennessee homes
Middle Tennessee water emergencies most often come from pipes that freeze in crawl spaces and exterior walls during cold snaps, aging galvanized and cast iron plumbing in older homes, worn appliance hoses and water heaters, tree roots in sewer lines, and flash flooding like the May 2010 and March 2021 floods.

Frequently asked questions
What affects the cost of a water emergency?
The main factors are where the water came from (clean supply line, gray water, or sewage), how many rooms and materials got wet, how long water sat, whether walls or floors must be opened, and after-hours timing. Independent companies set their own prices; ask for a written estimate.
How fast should I get help?
Stop the water immediately, then get drying started within the first 24 hours if you can. Wet drywall, wood, and carpet can start growing mold in 24-48 hours.
Do I need a plumber, a restoration company, or both?
If water is still coming from a pipe, fixture, or sewer line, you need a plumber to stop and fix the source. If anything got wet beyond a quick wipe-up, you also need drying. Many emergencies need both, in that order.
Should I repair or replace a leaking water heater or pipe?
Leaks at valves and fittings are usually repairable. A leaking tank, repeated pipe failures, or very old pipe usually point to replacement.
Will insurance cover it?
Sudden, accidental water damage is often covered; slow leaks, outside flooding, and sewer backup without an endorsement often are not. See our insurance claim help.
