Can Omaha Drain help me find and label my main shut-off valve?

Yes. As part of our emergency water shut-off and follow-up service, we locate your main shut-off, label it clearly, and can relocate or upgrade it so it is easier to reach in the future.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency water shut-off service?

Yes. Omaha Drain offers 24/7 emergency response for active leaks, burst pipes, and flooding concerns. We prioritize emergency shut-off calls and dispatch the first available technician to stop the water and protect your home.

How much does emergency water shut-off or main valve replacement cost?

Most emergency water shut-off visits involve a dispatch fee plus the cost to repair or replace the shut-off valve or damaged piping. Typical main shut-off valve projects range from a few hundred dollars and up depending on access and pipe condition. We provide clear, upfront options before any work is started, and you can use our $55 online coupon to save on qualifying services.

Can you install a smart automatic shut-off system?

Yes. For homeowners who want extra protection, Omaha Drain can install leak-detection and smart shut-off systems that monitor your water lines and automatically shut off the water if a major leak is detected.

Is a reverse osmosis system worth it in Omaha?

Yes. Reverse osmosis systems remove minerals, chlorine, and many contaminants from Omaha tap water, giving you cleaner, better-tasting water for drinking, ice, and cooking.

Where is the reverse osmosis system installed?

Most systems are installed under the kitchen sink with a dedicated faucet and a line to the fridge or ice maker. In some homes we can design whole-home RO setups depending on your plumbing and water usage.

How often do RO filters and membranes need to be changed?

Pre-filters and post-filters are typically changed every 6–12 months, while the RO membrane often lasts 2–3 years depending on water quality and usage. We can set you up with a maintenance plan so you never have to guess.

Will a reverse osmosis system reduce water pressure at my faucet?

A properly sized and installed RO system should deliver steady flow at its dedicated faucet. If you have low pressure now, we can evaluate your plumbing and recommend the right solution.

Q: What should I do first if a pipe bursts or water is pouring out?

If water is actively flowing, stay calm and shut off the main water valve if you know where it is. If you cannot find or operate it, call Omaha Drain immediately at 402-200-5059. Our dispatcher will help you locate and turn the valve while a technician is dispatched to your home.

When Water Is Everywhere, Every Second Counts.

A burst pipe, leaking supply line, or failed water heater can turn your home into a wading pool in minutes. Carpets soak, ceilings sag, and you’re left scrambling to find the main shut-off while water keeps pouring in. It’s stressful, messy, and expensive the longer it goes on.

In that moment, you shouldn’t have to guess which valve to turn or wait hours for a callback. You need someone who picks up, walks you through shutting off the water, and rushes a pro to your door.

Why an Emergency Water Shut-Off Plan Matters.

Knowing exactly how to shut off your water – and having a main valve that actually works – can be the difference between a quick mop-up and tens of thousands of dollars in damage.

Limit damage: Shut the water down fast and protect floors, drywall, and belongings.
Protect insurance claims: Many insurers expect you to act quickly to minimize damage.
Avoid unsafe wiring: Water and electricity don’t mix – stopping the flow buys you time to make things safe.
Prevent repeat emergencies: Upgraded valves and smart shut-off options help catch future leaks early.

What We Check During an Emergency Shut-Off Visit

Location and condition of your main shut-off valve
Age and material of your supply lines and key fixtures

Options for easier access, clear labeling, and smart shut-off upgrades

See How Your Home’s Water Shut-Off System Works.

Think of your plumbing like a tree: the main shut-off is the trunk and the supply lines are the branches. When there’s a leak, shutting off the trunk protects the whole tree. We help you understand and control it.

Emergency Shut-Off Flow

In an emergency, we guide you through three simple steps while dispatching help:

1 Find: Locate your main shut-off near the water meter, foundation wall, or basement.
2 Turn: Rotate the lever or wheel valve clockwise until it stops to shut off the flow.
3 Verify: Try a nearby faucet – if water slows to a trickle, the shut-off is working.

Emergency Water Shut-Off FAQs.

What should I do first if a pipe bursts or water is pouring out?

If it’s safe, try to find and turn off your main shut-off valve. It’s often near the water meter, where the main line enters your home, or in the basement. If you can’t find it, call us at (402) 200-5059 and we’ll help you locate and turn it off while a technician is on the way.

How fast can Omaha Drain get to my home?

We prioritize active leaks and flooding calls. In most cases, we can dispatch same-day, and for true emergencies we offer 24/7 response. When you schedule online, we’ll show you the soonest available time, or you can call for immediate assistance.

Can you help me find and label my main shut-off valve for the future?

Yes. During or after an emergency visit, we’ll locate your shut-off, test it, label it clearly, and discuss upgrades if it’s old, stuck, or hard to reach. We want every family member to know how to shut off water in a pinch.

What if my shut-off valve is old and won’t turn?

Older gate valves commonly seize and refuse to fully close. If yours won’t budge or doesn’t fully stop the water, we can install a modern ball valve that shuts off quickly and reliably – often during the same visit.

Do you work with insurance or water restoration companies?

We’re happy to provide documentation and photos that your insurance adjuster or restoration contractor may request. Our priority is stopping the water and repairing the plumbing so your restoration team can dry things out as quickly as possible.
