The free guide enables homeowners to distinguish between plumbing repairs that need attention right now and those that can wait.

New Port Richey, Florida, United States, November 13, 2026 -- Compass Plumbing is pleased to announce that it has recently released a storm season guide to plumbing emergencies. The guide, aimed at homeowners in New Port Richey and Pasco County, explains which problems require a plumber to assist immediately and which can wait until normal working hours.

The Atlantic hurricane season formally ends on November 30, but between now and then, there is ample opportunity for storm-induced plumbing damage. Compass Plumbing wants to help homeowners by providing them with a guide that distinguishes true emergencies that need an immediate response or put health at risk from those that don't.

According to Master Plumber James Carson, living in a home without proper sanitation or a water supply can be dangerous, especially when outside help is not available. Sewage backing up, leaking pipes, and the smell of gas are all significant risks that homeowners must deal with in the aftermath of a storm. Many clogs or having no water at all can affect the entire house.

Carson said the following:

“A dripping faucet or a toilet that's slow to drain isn't a major issue for most homeowners and certainly won't put their health at risk. What is serious is damage to their plumbing infrastructure or sanitary risks from backed-up sewage. The purpose of this new guide is for homeowners to know when dangerous thresholds have been passed and when they should call for help.”

The guide provides various tips for homeowners in the midst of a plumbing emergency before the plumber arrives. For example, it suggests turning off the water at the main shutoff and taking photos of any damage so that plumbers can arrive with the right tools and equipment to assist. It also recommends that if homeowners smell gas, they should get outside and call 911 for emergency assistance. Special care should be taken around pooling water near electrical components.

Pasco County storms often result in heavy rains and failed pumps that don't remove water. Sometimes, carbon monoxide poisoning can also be a risk if power generators are active nearby.
