As it turned out the [...]]]> My home is in the Haight district of the city and one afternoon I was getting a shower when I heard a loud bang.  The water pressure dropped and I knew something was wrong, something that would require quick thinking and an emergency call to some San Francisco plumbers.

As it turned out the main waterline into my home burst and was quickly flooding my basement.  I know some things about plumbing, so I quickly threw on some cloths and ran outside to turn my water main off.

In most cases it is fairly easy to turn off the water to a house.  Simply look in your yard and locate the water main.  Different places in the city have different locations for the main, but they are usually near the front of the property under a metal lid.  Take the lid off and look down in the hole.  To turn off the water at the main you will need an adjustable wrench.  Sometimes there is an arrow showing the on and off position.  Once I turned off the water, I checked the meter to make sure that the water was off.  On most meters there is some type of gauge that moves when water is not flowing through the line.  I knew the water was off because the gauge was not moving.

Now that I did not have to worry about my basement flooding it was time to call some San Francisco plumbers that could fix my water problem quickly.  This was an emergency situation, so I did not have time to shop around to get the best estimate I could find.

Thankfully I was able to get Magic Plumbing San Francisco plumbers to come over right away and like magic they had my water running again in only a few hours.  When needing to call San Francisco plumbers for an emergency try to find a company that will get there quickly, like Magic!.
