What Qualifies as a Plumbing Emergency?
Not sure if your situation is an emergency?
Here are the most critical plumbing failures that require immediate service.
Burst or Leaking Pipes
Water can spread quickly, causing flooding & structural damage. Shut off your main water valve and call us immediately.
Sewer Backups & Overflows
A sewage backup is a health hazard and requires immediate attention. If you notice gurgling drains, multiple clogs, or wastewater coming up in sinks or tubs, call now.
Gas Leaks or Water Leaks
Gas leaks are extremely dangerous—evacuate immediately, call 911, and then call us for repair. Water leaks left untreated can lead to serious structural damage and mold growth.
No Water or Low Water Pressure
A total loss of water could mean a major supply issue, burst main line, or frozen pipes. If only one fixture is affected, it may be a minor issue, but if your whole house has no water, call us ASAP.
No Hot Water
If your water heater fails, it could be a gas issue, electrical problem, or a failing unit. If you see leaks around the heater or hear strange noises, call us for emergency repair.
Overflowing or Clogged Fixtures
A toilet, sink, or bathtub that won’t drain or keeps overflowing can cause significant water damage and indicate a serious blockage in your plumbing system.

Taking quick action now can minimize damage while waiting for your emergency plumber to arrive.
Shut of your Main Water Supply
Your main water shutoff valve is usually near your water meter, in the basement, garage, or outside near the curb.
Turn Off the Water Heater
If your water heater is overheating or leaking, shut it down to prevent a major failure.
