1.)
I think my main sewer line is plugged. You may have a main line back up if: water is backing up in sinks, showers, and toilets. Water will, most likely, be coming up through your floor drain in the basement. Water may contain items from the drain.
Please do not call our emergency line if one of your drains is just slow or the toilet plugs once or twice over a long period. Call during regular business hours to report those types issues.
You should: Not us any more water. This will only make the problem worse. Any water that is used will back up in your house. Shutoffs under sinks and toilets may be turned off to prevent others from using any water until the plumber can arrive. Do not use Drano or any other clog remover.
2.)
A water line is broken. If you have a constant leak or water is pouring out of a pipe.
You should: Locate and turn off the MAIN water shutoff. In most houses the main shutoff is located in the basement or utility room. Some water will continue to come out at first. If you cannot locate the main, call our emergency phone line @ (517)290-4284 and we will assist you in finding it. In the mean time, turn off any water shutoffs you can locate. Clean up any water on surfaces to prevent further damage.
3.)
I smell gas. You may or may not have a gas leak. If you have a gas stove your pilot light may be out. H.R.I. will re-light the pilot as soon as possible. If you believe you have a gas leak or the gas odor continues to get worse.
You should: Call H.R.I. to report the problem. In the mean time; open windows and doors and/or go outside. If you are unable to reach H.R.I., contact Consumers Energy at 1(800)477-5050. They will check your furnace and gas lines for a leak.
