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 Detail

Why the power call in Solvay goes to the village

The Village of Solvay operates its own electric utility, listed by the New York Department of Public Service as Village of Solvay (Electric). It asks customers to report emergencies on 315-468-6229, which forwards automatically to an after hours number when no one is available, with 315-545-5115 as a backup emergency number.

ACS 2020 to 2024 estimates give the Village of Solvay 48.7 percent renter occupied units, 18.3 percent of units in two unit buildings, a median year built of 1947, and 41.4 percent of households heating with electricity, the highest electric share in this metro.

The CDC advises that if electrical circuits and electrical equipment have gotten wet or are in or near water, the power should be turned off at the main breaker or fuse on the service panel.

Water near the panel in a Solvay basement?

Stay out of the water unless the breaker is on dry ground, and report it to the village electric line. Then send us what you see and a licensed plumber takes the water side.

Planning

Solvay's village power company and a wet electric tank

Solvay has the highest share of electrically heated homes in this metro, an estimated 41.4 percent, and the power comes from Village of Solvay Electric, listed by the state Department of Public Service as the village's own utility. That makes a Solvay water emergency an electrical one more often than elsewhere. If water has reached outlets, the panel or an electric water heater, turn the power off at the main breaker only if you can reach it standing on dry ground; if you cannot, stay out of the water and report it to the village electric emergency line, 315-468-6229, which forwards to an after hours number when the office is closed, with 315-545-5115 as a backup. Once the power is safe, close the water heater's cold inlet and the main valve. The housing adds two people to most calls: Solvay homes are old, a 1947 median, nearly half are rented and about 18 percent sit in two unit buildings, so a leak in one flat often reaches the next and the owner needs to hear in writing the same night. Drinking water here is OCWA's, so the valve you may use is the one inside the foundation wall.
