Common Emergency Plumbing Service Questions

Is an overflowing toilet an emergency?

It can be—especially if the water won’t stop, it’s backing up repeatedly, or there’s a risk of overflow damage to flooring and walls. If you can’t stop the flow by turning off the toilet’s shutoff valve, it’s best to call right away.

How do I shut off water to stop a leak?

If the leak is at a sink or toilet, look for a small shutoff valve near the fixture and turn it clockwise to stop water flow. If you can’t locate the source or the leak continues, shut off your home’s main water valve. If there’s standing water near outlets or appliances, avoid electrical contact and call for assistance.

Do you service Spokane and nearby areas?

Yes. Cougar provides service in Spokane, WA, Coeur d’ Alene, ID and surrounding communities. When you call, we’ll confirm coverage for your address and guide you on the fastest way to schedule.

What qualifies as a plumbing emergency?

Plumbing emergencies include burst pipes, sewage backups, major leaks, overflowing toilets that won’t stop, or any situation causing active water damage. If water is spreading, pressure is lost, or there’s a health or safety risk, it’s best to call immediately.

Can I prevent plumbing emergencies?

While not all issues are avoidable, routine maintenance can help reduce risk. Avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper, don’t pour grease down drains, address slow drains early, and schedule inspections for aging pipes or water heaters.

What should I do while waiting for a technician to arrive?

If possible, shut off the water source causing the issue and move valuables away from affected areas. Use towels or buckets to contain water and avoid using plumbing fixtures connected to the problem. Our team will provide additional guidance when you call.
