Tell us what the water is doing, whether it has stopped and whose home it is. A person reads every request and matches it to a licensed, insured plumber for the part that cannot wait. We cannot promise how soon a request sent at night is read, so close the main shutoff first.

Would you rather talk it through? Call (315) 640-3590.

Your details are used only to respond to this request and arrange the service.

Once you press send

A person reads it. It is not sold to lead buyers and it is not an auto-reply: someone looks at whether the water has stopped, what is near power or gas, and whose home it is.
Your request goes to a licensed, insured plumber who works your town, who contacts you on the number you give. If it sounds like the utility's pipe rather than yours, you are told that instead.
There is no phone number on this site yet. We would rather say so than print one we cannot vouch for, so the form is the way in. While you wait, keep the main shutoff closed and photograph everything before it is moved.

Five entries are mandatory: name, phone number, email, the property's street address and its ZIP code. The questions and the message box can be skipped. The ZIP code picks the plumber who covers that town, the street line tells them which house, and the address never appears in our logs.

Local Context

First steps at a Camillus water heater

The water heater is leaking or the hot water is gone. Turn the gas control to off or its breaker off if you can reach it dry, close the cold valve on top of the tank, and keep people away from the hot water. If you smell gas, leave the house first.

Deciding

Camillus tenants and the hot water rule

About half of Camillus village households rent, and outside the City of Syracuse the state maintenance code requires water heating that delivers at least 110 degrees. A failed heater in a rental is the owner's to replace, after a county permit.

Should I book the plumber or the landlord?
