Is It a Plumbing Emergency? How to Know When to Call Now vs. Schedule
Not every plumbing problem is a middle-of-the-night emergency ā but some absolutely are. Calling BNC's emergency line when you're not sure is always the right move ā we'll help you assess the situation over the phone and tell you if you need us immediately or if it can wait for morning. Here's a quick guide:
šØ Call Emergency Line NOW ā 317-339-6265
- Active flooding or water you cannot stop
- Burst pipe with water spraying or running
- Sump pump failed during active rain or flooding
- Sewage backing up into your home
- Gas smell ā evacuate first, then call 911, then BNC
- Broken shutoff valve that won't close
- Frozen pipe ā do NOT try to thaw yourself
- Water heater leaking heavily onto the floor
- Complete loss of water to the entire home

Not sure which category your situation falls into? Call 317-339-6265 and BNC will help you assess it over the phone ā at no charge. We'd rather you call and find out it can wait than have your home flood while you wait for morning.
What to Do Right Now ā Before BNC Arrives
The steps you take in the first few minutes of a plumbing emergency make a significant difference in how much damage your home sustains. Here's exactly what to do while BNC is on the way:
Turn off the supply valve closest to the problem fixture, or shut off the main water supply to the whole home. In most Indianapolis homes the main shutoff is in the basement near the front wall where the line enters
If you've shut off the main supply, turn your water heater to "pilot" or off ā running a water heater with no incoming water can damage the heating element or tank
Move rugs, furniture, electronics, and valuables away from standing or spreading water ā every minute of water contact on wood floors and drywall adds to the damage
Do not flip switches, use outlets, or touch any electrical fixtures near standing water ā if water is near your electrical panel, call BNC before entering the area
If water is pooling in a basement with a floor drain, help it drain. Remove any items blocking drains ā but don't enter an area with electrical hazards
If you smell gas: do NOT flip any switches. Leave the home immediately, leave the door open, call 911 from outside, then call BNC at 317-339-6265 once you are safely away
š” Know where your main shutoff is BEFORE an emergency. If you don't know ā call BNC at 317-352-0780 and we'll help you locate it on your next scheduled visit.

What counts as a plumbing emergency in Indianapolis?
True plumbing emergencies include: active flooding or burst pipes, failed sump pump during heavy rain, broken main shutoff valve, gas line leaks (evacuate and call 911 first), complete loss of water supply, sewage backup into the home, and frozen pipes at risk of bursting. If water is actively damaging your home or a safety risk exists ā call BNC at 317-339-6265 immediately.
What should I do first during a plumbing emergency?
Shut off the water supply ā either at the affected fixture or at the main shutoff. Turn off the water heater if the main supply is off. Move valuables away from water. Do not use electrical switches near standing water. Then call BNC at 317-339-6265. For a gas leak, evacuate first, call 911, then BNC once you are safely outside.
What are the signs of a burst or frozen pipe in Indianapolis?
Signs of a burst pipe include sudden water on floors or ceilings, dramatic pressure drop, water meter spinning with all fixtures off, or the sound of running water with nothing on. Frozen pipe warning signs include no water at a fixture during a freeze, frost on an exposed pipe, or a bulging pipe section. Do not try to thaw a frozen pipe yourself ā it may have already cracked internally. Call BNC at 317-339-6265.
Does BNC charge extra for emergency or after-hours service?
BNC Plumbing provides written upfront pricing before any emergency work begins ā you know the cost before we touch anything. Call 317-339-6265 for emergency dispatch or 317-352-0780 for scheduling and pricing questions.
Where is my home's main water shutoff valve in Indianapolis?
In most Indianapolis homes the main shutoff is in the basement near the front wall where the main water line enters the house, or in a utility room near the water meter. In homes without basements, check the crawlspace or near the water heater. If you cannot find it, the municipal shutoff is at the water meter near the street. Call BNC at 317-352-0780 to locate yours before an emergency occurs.
