Drain Right Services


A Leaking or Broken Pipe Turn off the main shutoff valve to prevent water damage. Make temporary repairs to stop the leak. (A piece of bicycle inner tube or garden hose with a hose clamp around it should allow you to turn the water on temporarily, or until the plumber arrives. The pipe will have to be replaced as soon as it's convenient to do so. A Stopped-Up Sink Shut off any faucet or appliance (such as dishwasher) that's draining into the sink. Unclog the sink using a plunger or snake. DON'T use a chemical drain cleaner if the line is completely blocked.
