Plumbing Emergencies CCS Handles in Boca Raton

Boca Raton splits into two very different emergency calls: coastal condos and older neighborhoods east of I-95, and large gated communities with bigger floor plans toward West Boca. Both produce the same urgent list — what differs is how fast the water finds something expensive:

• Burst or actively leaking pipes — in a condo east of I-95, a burst line threatens the unit below within minutes — building shutoff coordination is part of the call.
• Sewage backups — sewage rising in a tub or shower, or several fixtures backing up together, points to the building drain or main line rather than one clog. Recurring backups are covered on the drain cleaning page.
• No water in the home — a failed valve, a broken supply line, or a problem at the meter can cut water entirely; the visit starts by finding where the supply stops.
• Leaking water heaters — water in the drain pan, rust streaks, or a wet tank base. The leaking water heater guide explains which leaks can wait and which cannot.
• Suspected slab leaks — warm floor spots, a water meter that moves with every fixture off, or the sound of running water in the slab. See the slab leak warning signs guide.

What to Do Before We Arrive

1. Close the main water shutoff. East Boca condos usually have a unit shutoff under a sink or by the water heater — building staff control the riser if it does not stop the flow. In West Boca single-family homes, look where the supply enters the house or at the meter box near the street.
2. If the water heater is leaking, cut its power first: switch off the water heater breaker for an electric unit, or turn the gas control dial to OFF for a gas unit. Then close the cold-water valve on top of the tank — a tank that keeps heating while it empties can be damaged further.
3. After a burst pipe, open the lowest faucet in the home or an outdoor spigot to relieve the remaining pressure in the lines once the main is closed.
4. During a sewage backup, stop using sinks, toilets, showers, and laundry — water sent down any drain can resurface at the lowest fixture.
5. Keep people and pets away from wet outlets and appliances, and switch off breakers to flooded areas only if you can reach the electrical panel safely and with dry hands.
6. Once it is safe, take photos of the damage for your insurance records.
