TL;DR

- Gas odor, smoke, or fire: leave and call 911 or the gas utility first

- Avoid standing water near electrical equipment
- Have the model, symptom, and steps already taken ready when you call
Safety before service
Gas odor, fire, smoke, active water, and loss of heat require different responses.
For gas odor, fire, smoke, or immediate danger, leave and call emergency services or the gas utility. For active water leaks, call Resolv after the area is safe.
- Active water release or flooding
- Gas odor near gas-fired equipment
- Smoke, sparking, or electrical burning odor
- Relief valve releasing very hot water
For gas odor, fire, or smoke, leave and contact emergency services or the gas utility from a safe location. A plumbing appointment is not the first response to an active life-safety hazard.

Frequently asked questions
Do I call a plumber first if I smell gas?+
No. Leave the building and contact emergency services or the gas utility from a safe location first.
Can I shut off water to the heater?+
Only if the valve is safely accessible and you can identify it confidently. Do not enter standing water near electrical equipment.
Does no hot water count as an emergency?+
That depends on household needs and conditions. Call to explain the situation and current availability can be confirmed without promising an unverified response time.
