How to Handle a Plumbing Emergency Before We Arrive
Taking immediate action while our emergency plumber is en route can minimize water damage to your property:
- Shut Off the Main Water Supply: Locate your main water valve (typically located near the water meter in your basement or utility room) and turn it clockwise to stop incoming flow.
- Turn Off Your Water Heater: If you must shut off the main water supply, turn off the power breaker or gas supply to your water heater to prevent tank overheating.
- Open Outdoor Faucets: Drain residual water pressure from your plumbing lines by opening lower-level faucets.
- Reference Local Municipal Guidelines: For street-side main shutoffs or municipal line issues, consult official municipal resources like the City of Chicago Department of Water Management.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Plumbing
How quickly can an emergency plumber arrive at my house?
We maintain active local dispatching across Cook, DuPage, and Lake Counties. On urgent emergency calls, we prioritize the nearest technician to reach your location as fast as traffic allows.
How do I prevent pipes from freezing during Chicago heatwaves or winter deep freezes?
Keep your thermostat set to at least 55°F during winter, open cabinet doors under sinks to let ambient heat circulate around pipes, and let cold water trickle slightly from exposed faucets during sub-zero nights.
Do you charge extra fees for nighttime or weekend emergency plumbing calls?
No. Comfort Gate Service provides flat-rate pricing so you know the full cost of the repair upfront, without hidden overtime surprises.
