What To Do Before the Plumber Arrives

A few safe steps can limit water damage while you wait for Elite Plumbing in Rapid City. If water is spreading, call (605) 250-1555 first.

  1. Stay away from standing water near electrical outlets or appliances.

What to tell us on the phone

  • Whether water is still moving
  • Which fixture or room is involved
  • Whether more than one drain or faucet is affected
  • When the problem started

Slow drains and clogs

Avoid repeating harsh chemical drain openers if they have not worked. Recurring clogs often need drain cleaning and repair.

No hot water or no heat

Note whether the tank is leaking, making noise, or simply not heating. Then call for water heater service or furnace service.

Possible frozen pipes

If one faucet has no flow during a Rapid City cold snap, open that faucet, do not use an open flame on the pipe, and call if the line will not thaw or has already split. Full steps: frozen pipes.
