What to do right now
If you have a water heater emergency, take these steps before we arrive:
- Stop the water. Close the cold-water shut-off valve on top of the tank (turn clockwise). If you can’t, shut off your home’s main water valve.
- Cut the power or gas.
- Electric: turn off the water heater’s breaker.
- Gas: turn the gas control dial to “Off.”
- If you smell gas — stop. Leave the house immediately and call your gas utility (and 911 if needed) before doing anything else. Do not flip switches.
- Contain the water. Towels, a bucket, and move anything valuable away from the tank.
- Call us. (443) 247-4113 — describe what’s happening and we’ll dispatch the next available tech.
When is a water heater an emergency?
Call for emergency service if you have:
- A burst or heavily leaking tank flooding the area
- Water pooling fast around the base (see water heater leaking)
- A gas smell near the unit (leave first, then call your gas utility)
- Scalding-hot water or a screaming/whistling T&P valve (pressure issue)
- No hot water when you have a real need that can’t wait — newborn, medical, business
Not every problem is a true emergency, but no hot water is always urgent. Either way, we’ll get to you fast.

Emergency water heater FAQs
Is a leaking water heater an emergency?
A small drip from a valve may not be, but a leaking or burst tank is — water damage gets expensive fast. Shut off the water and power/gas and call us right away.
Can you fix a water heater the same day?
Yes. We carry common parts and stock replacement units, so most emergencies are repaired or replaced same-day in Westminster and Carroll County.
What should I do if my water heater is flooding?
Shut off the cold-water valve on top of the tank (or your main), cut the power or gas, contain the water, and call (443) 247-4113. If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas utility first.
Do you offer after-hours water heater repair?
Yes — we offer same-day and after-hours emergency service. Call and we’ll dispatch the next available technician.
Is no hot water considered an emergency?
It’s not usually dangerous, but it’s urgent. If it’s paired with a leak, gas smell, or sparking, treat it as an emergency and shut the unit off.
