We’re halfway through June 2025, and in Jacksonville and St. Augustine, summer’s in full swing—along with the looming threat of storms that can turn a quiet day into a plumbing panic. Whether it’s a burst pipe flooding your kitchen or a sewer line choking during a downpour, crises don’t wait for a convenient moment. But you’ve got this. With a solid game plan and Turner Plumbing’s 24/7 crew at 1903 Hendricks Ave., you can handle whatever Northeast Florida throws at you. Here’s your playbook to stay cool and in control when the water starts rising.
First things first: know where your water main is and how to shut it off. It’s your kill switch—find that valve (usually near the street or in a basement) and practice turning it now, before you’re ankle-deep in trouble. FEMA says 14% of homes deal with water damage every year, and in Jacksonville, with its hurricane history, or St. Augustine, with its coastal quirks, that number feels all too real. A busted pipe can dump gallons fast, so cutting the flow buys you time. Next, grab your phone and dial Turner Plumbing’s emergency line at (904) 396-7044—they’re on call around the clock, ready to roll out to Riverside or the historic district with the tools to stop the chaos.
Step two’s about keeping your head. If it’s a flood—like from a storm overwhelming your drains—move anything valuable up high and kill the power if water’s near outlets. Don’t wade in unless it’s safe; you’re no good to anyone electrocuted. For a burst pipe, throw down towels or buckets to slow the spread, but don’t mess with the pipe itself—leave that to the pros. Turner Plumbing’s seen it all, from San Marco homes taking on water after a big blow to St. Augustine rentals with pipes split by age and pressure. Their techs show up fast, assess the mess, and get it fixed, whether it’s a patch job or a full line swap.
Why this matters now? June’s when Jacksonville’s hurricane ghosts start whispering—think Hugo or Irma—and St. Augustine’s low-lying spots brace for the worst. A plumbing emergency isn’t just inconvenient; it’s a wallet-drainer and a stress bomb. Businesses—like a shop near Hendricks Ave.—can’t afford to close, and homeowners don’t want to lose heirlooms to a flood. Turner Plumbing’s your ace in the hole, with a track record of bailing out folks when the stakes are high. A quick call to their 24/7 line can turn a disaster into a hiccup, and a pre-storm check-up can spot weak points before they blow.
