What to do first in a plumbing emergency
The first ten minutes decide how much damage a leak or backup causes. These steps apply to most emergencies in a Rosemount home.
- Stop the water.Close the fixture shutoff, or the main shutoff where the water line enters the house. Learn where that valve is before you need it.
- Cut power near water.If water is near outlets, appliances or the electrical panel, leave the area and shut power off only if the panel is dry and you can reach it safely.
- Smell gas? Leave.Leave the building, then call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Do not flip switches or relight anything.
- Call the dispatch line.Call (952) 866-9120, describe what you see, and follow the shutoff steps we give you while the visit is arranged.
Photos of the damage help later with insurance, so take a few before cleanup if it is safe to do so.
Plumbing in Rosemount: what the city handles and what you own
Water and sewer service in Rosemount is run by the city, with sewage treated by the Metropolitan Council. The city maintains the water mains and the sewer mains. You own the service line and the plumbing on your property, including the private sewer pipe from the house to the street main.
That boundary decides who to call. A problem on the public side, such as a main break, goes to the city, and after hours the city says to dial 911 so a dispatcher can alert Public Works. A problem on your side of the property line is a plumbing job, and that is where we come in.
All plumbing work we do follows the Minnesota Plumbing Code, which adopts the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) chapters listed in Rules chapter 4714. The state requires altered plumbing to be inspected and tested, and we explain how that applies to your job before work starts.
If you are not sure which side a leak or backup is on, call us and describe it. We will tell you what points to the city and what points to the house.
Which service fits your problem
Most calls fall into a handful of patterns. This table is a starting point, and the plumber confirms the cause on site.

| Several drains slow or gurgling | Main line cleaning or jetting | sewer line cleaning. |
| Water bill climbing, meter running | Leak detection | leak detection. |
| Wet basement floor after rain or thaw | Sump pump service | sump pump service. |
| Cold radiators or baseboards | Boiler repair | boiler repair. |
| Frozen or split pipe | Burst pipe repair | burst pipe repair. |
The plumber confirms the actual cause before any repair starts.
Hard water and what it does to fixtures
The city lists Rosemount water at 17 grains per gallon, which it describes as hard. Hard water leaves scale in aerators, cartridges and water heater tanks, so faucets drip sooner and tank heaters collect sediment.
A flush of the tank and a vinegar soak for aerators handle the early stages. If you are weighing a softener, our water softener page explains what the city says about the trade-offs and why testing your tap comes first.
