What Qualifies as a Plumbing Emergency?
Some problems can wait a day or two. Others can’t. If you’re not sure which category your situation falls into, it’s always worth calling to ask. We’ll give you a straight answer and, if needed, dispatch a tech as soon as our schedule allows.
Plumbing matters that we view as major emergencies include:
- Burst pipes – When pipes burst, they can flood your home in minutes, damaging floors, walls, and belongings. Prompt action is critical to prevent further destruction.
- Major leaks – Leaks can compromise your home’s structure, skyrocket your water bill, and create a breeding ground for mold. Getting it fixed quickly saves you from bigger headaches later.
- Sewer line backups – These can lead to nasty odors, slow drains, and even sewage spilling into your home. Not only is this a hygiene issue, but it can also be hazardous to your health, so don’t delay getting it fixed.
- Overflowing toilets – An overflowing toilet is unsanitary and can damage flooring and nearby fixtures. If the water keeps rising, it may signal a bigger issue in your plumbing system that needs immediate attention.
- Sudden loss of water pressure – This could mean a serious leak, a burst pipe, or a problem with your main water line. It’s not just inconvenient—it’s a warning sign of a bigger issue that could escalate quickly.
- Water heater failure – No one loves an icy shower. But beyond the discomfort, a failing water heater can leak or even burst, causing water damage and leaving your household without hot water for essential tasks.
- Blocked main drains – A blocked main drain can disrupt your entire plumbing system, leading to slow drainage, foul smells, or even backups into your home. It’s a situation that requires immediate attention to keep everything flowing smoothly.
Our job is to assess the problem fast, prevent further damage, and stabilize your system. If a full repair isn’t possible right away—like during a complex sewer issue—we’ll still get things under control and walk you through the next steps.
