Emergency Plumbing in Kings Point: what to know
Many Kings Point owners spend part of the year elsewhere, and an emergency often happens in an empty unit. A neighbor or the association notices water in the hallway or a ceiling below. Leaving a key with a trusted neighbor and the association's emergency contact makes these calls much easier to handle.
If you are in the unit when a pipe bursts, close the valve to your unit, then tell building maintenance or the association office, since water may already be in the unit below.

Before the plumber arrives
- Close the shut-off valve for your unit and switch off the water heater breaker.
- Tell the association or building maintenance right away.
- Leave a key and your phone number with a neighbor or the association when you travel.

Can a plumber get into my Kings Point unit if I am away?
Only with access from someone you authorize, such as a neighbor with a key or the association. Arrange this before you travel.
Who handles water damage to the unit below?
It depends on where the leak started and on your association's documents and insurance. A plumber's report of the cause helps sort it out.
