See every serviceEmergency plumber in Benson: what to do in the first minutes
Most plumbing emergencies get worse every minute the water or gas keeps moving. These steps take less than a minute each and make the visit shorter, whichever plumber from our network takes your call.
Water is running where it should not
Close the main shutoff valve where the line enters the house. Light freezes happen here in winter, so cover outdoor hose bibs before the first frost. If you cannot find the valve, say so on the call.
Sewage is backing up
Stop using sinks, tubs and toilets, keep people and pets out of the wet area, and call. Running more water only pushes more into the room.
The water heater is leaking
Close the cold-water valve above the tank. If it is safe to reach, switch off its power or gas control. Do not open the tank or work on the relief valve yourself.
Water near outlets, panels or appliances
Stay out of the wet area and do not touch switches or cords. If there is sparking, a burning smell or any shock risk, call 911 first, then the dispatch line for the water.

Who owns which pipe in Benson: the City, the utility or you
Knowing which side of the meter a problem is on saves a wasted visit. Before paying for locating a hidden leak, check whether the water is still moving at the meter with every fixture off. Water that keeps moving points to a leak somewhere past it.
The table shows how the City of Benson divides responsibility inside city limits. Outside city limits the water provider and the sewer arrangement change from address to address, so check your water bill first.
| What it is | Who is responsible | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| Water meter | City of Benson Public Works installs the meter | Call the City for meter problems |
| Line from the meter to the building | The property owner | A plumber, for yard line repair |
| Sewer main and the tap into it | City of Benson wastewater department | Call the City if the main is the problem |
| Sewer line from the main to the building | The property owner, through a licensed contractor | A plumber, for sewer line inspection before any repair |
| Gas service inside city limits | City of Benson Public Works gas utility | Smell gas: leave, call 911, then the utility |
| Digging for any buried line | Arizona law requires notice to Arizona 811 first | Call 811 at least two working days ahead |

Slow drains inside the house are a different question: they are usually the owner's to fix, and clogged main drains can be cleared without touching the City's main. A tank that has stopped heating is the same: a failing water heater is an in-house repair.

Call (520) 340-7175Questions about emergency and after-hours plumbing
Is a plumber available right now in Benson?
Yes. The dispatch line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. Call (520) 340-7175, describe what is happening and give the address. Our dispatch line routes your call to a plumber from our network who serves Benson, and the dispatcher explains what to expect for your location. If water is running or you smell gas, take the safety steps in the emergency section above while you wait.
I rent my home and there is a major leak. Who should I call?
Shut off the water if you can do it safely, then call your landlord or property manager, because the owner decides on repairs in a rental. If the owner asks you to arrange emergency service, or no one answers, call the dispatch line and say you are the tenant. Take photos of the leak and any damage and note the time of each call. A plumber can document the cause, which helps with the owner and with any insurance claim.
What should I do first in a plumbing emergency?
Stop the source and protect people. For a broken pipe, close the main shutoff valve where the line enters the house. For a sewer backup, stop using sinks, tubs and toilets. For a gas smell, leave the building first and call 911 from outside. Then call the dispatch line. If you cannot find or close a valve, say so when you call so the plumber knows what to expect.
Can I get a same-day emergency plumber in Benson?
Calls to the dispatch line are answered around the clock and routed to a plumber from our network the same way, day or night. Arrival time depends on demand and conditions, so the dispatcher confirms what is possible for your address when you call. Mention urgent problems such as a burst pipe, a sewer backup or no water at all at the start of the call. A slow drip can usually wait for a daytime visit.
Can I call about a plumbing problem at night or on a weekend?
Yes, and the first step often depends on where the problem sits. Inside Benson city limits, the City installs the water meter and makes the tap into the sewer main, and the property owner is responsible for the lines from there to the building. Call the dispatch line at any hour and say whether you think the problem is before or after the meter, or in the line that runs to the street.
