Do This Now
What to Do While You Wait
| Emergency | Do this right now |
|---|---|
| Burst pipe or major water leak | Turn off the main water shutoff. It's usually near the water meter — on the street side of the house or in the crawl space near the foundation. Then call us. |
| Sewage backup | Stop using all water. No flushing, showers, sinks or laundry. Using more water pushes more sewage up. Call us. |
| Gas smell | Don't turn any switches on or off. Leave the house. Call your gas company (NW Natural: 1-800-422-4012) from outside, then call us. Do not re-enter until cleared. |
| Water heater leaking | Turn off the cold water supply valve at the top of the unit. For gas, set the valve to "pilot." For electric, shut off the breaker. Call us. |
| Toilet overflowing | Lift the tank lid and push down the flapper. Turn the shutoff valve behind the toilet clockwise to stop the water. |
| No water at all | Check if neighbors have water. If they do, your main shutoff may be closed or there's a problem with your service line. Call us. |
Is It an Emergency?
Is This an Emergency or Can It Wait?
Water actively spraying or pouring. Sewage coming up into tubs, floor drains or the basement. Gas smell anywhere. Water heater flooding. No water at all in the house. These are emergencies.
No hot water. One toilet clogged. A slow drain. A leaky faucet. These need attention soon but are not flooding emergencies.
Planning a water heater upgrade. Adding an outdoor faucet. Replacing old supply lines. These can be scheduled at your convenience.
If you're not sure, call anyway. We'd rather you call and find out it can wait than have you wait and find out it can't.

Local Knowledge
Plumbing Emergencies in Tigard: What to Know
City vs your responsibility
The city of Tigard maintains the water main in the street and the sewer main. You're responsible for everything from your house to the point where your lines connect to the city's systems. If we find a problem in the city's section, we'll tell you and you can contact Tigard Public Works or Tigard Water.
Freezing pipes in Tigard winters
Tigard doesn't get extreme cold often, but an overnight freeze can freeze pipes that run through unheated crawl spaces, garages or exterior walls. Hose bibs and supply lines in crawl spaces are the most common freeze points. Insulating exposed pipes before winter is the best prevention.
Rainy season backups
Tigard's rainy season runs October through April. Heavy rain raises groundwater and can overwhelm older sewer systems, pushing water back toward homes. If you have an older sewer line, roots that were manageable in summer may cause a backup after a big rain event.
Older pipes in established neighborhoods
Many of Tigard's established neighborhoods have cast iron or galvanized supply lines that are 40 to 60 years old. These corrode from the inside over time and can fail suddenly. If you have old plumbing, knowing where your main shutoff is before an emergency happens can prevent serious damage.
Prevention
How to Prevent the Next Emergency
Find it now, not during a flood. It's usually near the water meter — sometimes in the crawl space, sometimes near the street. Make sure it turns easily.
A dripping faucet or a slow toilet leak seems minor but signals something wearing out. Fixing them early costs far less than an emergency later.
A tank that's 10+ years old is living on borrowed time. Replacing it on your schedule means you choose the unit and the timing. A tank that fails floods your garage and gives you no choice.
Roots grow in slowly. A camera inspection every few years catches them before they cause a backup.
