Frequently Asked Questions

Burst or broken pipes with active water flow, water heater actively leaking, sump pump failure during flooding conditions, or any leak you cannot isolate with shutoff valves. If water is actively damaging your home, it's an emergency.

Genrich Plumbing's business hours are Monday–Friday, 7 AM–7 PM. While we don't offer 24/7 service, Bob responds personally and prioritizes emergency calls during business hours. For after-hours emergencies, shut off your main water valve to limit damage.

1) Shut off the main water supply valve. 2) Turn off electricity to any flooded areas at the breaker panel. 3) Move valuables and electronics away from flooding. 4) Call Genrich at (715) 675-2000 to report the situation.
