Quick Answer
For a plumbing emergency in Lake Charles, shut off the water first and then call. The main shutoff is usually at the meter near the street or where the supply line enters the house; for a water heater or a single fixture, the local stop valve is enough. Advantage Plumbing answers emergency calls 24 hours a day at (337) 496-6701, serving Lake Charles, Moss Bluff, Westlake, Sulphur, and the surrounding parishes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Anything actively causing damage or making the home unsafe: a burst or leaking supply line, sewage backing up into the house, a water heater leaking from the tank, no water at all, or any suspected gas odor. A dripping faucet or a single slow drain can usually wait for a scheduled visit.
What should I do first while waiting for an emergency plumber?
Shut off the water at the main or at the fixture stop. If the leak is near the water heater, turn the heater off as well so it does not run dry. Open a low faucet to drain pressure out of the lines, move belongings clear of the water, and start removing standing water. If you smell gas, leave the building first and call from outside.
Where is my main water shutoff valve?
In most Lake Charles homes it is at the meter box near the street, or on the exterior wall where the supply line enters. Meter-box valves usually need a meter key. It is worth locating and testing yours before you need it, because a valve that has not been turned in years can be stuck.
Do you charge more for after-hours plumbing calls?
Advantage Plumbing prices work at a flat rate quoted on site after the problem has been seen, rather than by the hour over the phone. You are told the price for the repair before the work begins.
How fast can a plumber get here?
Response time depends on where you are in the service area and what is already dispatched. Calling as early as possible, and shutting the water off in the meantime, does more to limit damage than anything else.
