Is Your Plumbing Problem an Emergency?
It can be stressful trying to determine if your plumbing issue requires immediate attention or if it can wait. Here are common signs that indicate you need emergency plumbing service:
- Burst Pipes: Water is actively spraying or pouring from a pipe. This can cause extensive water damage very quickly.
- Major Leaks: Significant, uncontrollable leaks from pipes, fixtures, or water heaters that cannot be stopped by turning off a local valve.
- Sewage Backup: Wastewater backing up into drains, toilets, or tubs. This is a serious health hazard and requires immediate cleanup and repair.
- No Water or Hot Water: A complete loss of water pressure or hot water throughout your home can indicate a major system failure or leak requiring urgent diagnosis.
- Severe Clogs: A blockage affecting multiple drains or causing toilets to overflow uncontrollably can lead to backups and water damage. We offer expert Drain Cleaning and Sewer Line Cleaning for urgent blockages.
- Sump Pump Failure: If your sump pump isn't working during heavy rain or flooding, your basement is at risk of significant water damage.
- Suspicious Gas Odor near Appliances: (While HVAC-related, gas leaks are plumbing emergencies if related to gas lines supplying appliances like water heaters or furnaces). If you suspect a gas leak, leave your property immediately, do not turn lights or appliances on or off, and call the gas company and then us from a safe location.
If you are experiencing any of these situations, it's crucial to act fast to prevent further damage and protect your property and health.

What to Do Before We Arrive
While waiting for our emergency plumbing team, taking a few immediate steps can help reduce damage and make the repair process smoother:
- Turn Off Your Main Water Supply: Locate your home's main water shut-off valve (usually in the basement, crawl space, garage, or near the water meter) and turn it off to stop water flow. Ensure everyone in your household knows the location.
- Turn Off the Gas (If Suspected Leak): If you smell gas, turn off the main gas supply valve immediately only if it is safe to do so and you know how. Leave the premises and call the gas company and emergency services from a safe location. Do not operate any electrical switches.
- Turn Off Electricity: If water is leaking near electrical outlets, fixtures, or your circuit breaker box, turn off the power to that area from your main electrical panel to avoid electrocution risks.
- Contain the Water: If possible, use buckets, towels, or wet/dry vacuums to collect or divert water and prevent it from spreading to unaffected areas.
- Clear the Area: Remove furniture, rugs, and other belongings from the affected area to protect them from damage and give the plumber clear access.
- Document the Damage: Take photos or videos of the plumbing issue and the resulting damage for your records (especially helpful for insurance claims).
Please note: Only attempt actions you feel safe and capable of performing. Your safety is the top priority.
