What should I do first if a pipe bursts in Duncan?
Close the main water shutoff valve, usually where the water line enters the house or near the meter, then open the lowest faucet to drain pressure from the lines. Switch off power to wet areas if the panel is safe to reach.
Who is responsible for the sewer line to my house?
In many cities the property owner is responsible for the sewer lateral from the house to the public main. Check with the City of Duncan or the local utility for the exact rule.
Who decides what the work will cost?
The independent provider sets the scope and the charges after looking at the problem. Confirm all details with the provider directly.
