Your $100 credit is attached to this request. Mention this offer when you book. See terms.

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.

Why a DeWitt water heater leak goes on National Grid's list

An estimated 79.3 percent of DeWitt households heat with utility gas, among the highest shares in the metro, with a 1963 median build year. That makes the water heater emergency in DeWitt a gas question before it is a plumbing one. National Grid's own list of gas emergencies includes a continuous flow of water leaking from a gas water heater, along with an abnormal flame or appliances losing gas. If you smell gas, leave first, touch no switches on the way out, and report it from outside. If there is no smell, turn the heater's gas control to off and close the cold inlet valve, then keep people away from the drain valve, because a full tank is scalding. Know which side is whose: National Grid holds the customer responsible for the gas piping from the meter outlet onward, so the line to the heater is yours to have checked by a professional. Where OCWA supplies DeWitt's water, a burst elsewhere in the house is stopped at the valve inside the foundation wall. About 6.5 percent of DeWitt homes stand vacant, enough that an empty house next door is worth a look in a hard freeze.
