What We Do
What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency
If water is actively damaging your property or creating a health hazard, it's an emergency. Call us. Common situations:
Active water leak or burst pipe
Frozen or old pipes can rupture suddenly, flooding your property. We'll shut off the water, assess the damage, and make immediate repairs.
Sewage backing up into the home
Sewage coming up through drains or toilets is a serious health hazard. We'll locate the blockage, clear the line, and ensure everything is flowing properly.
Gas smell
Call the gas company first, then call us. Gas leaks are extremely dangerous and require immediate attention.
No water anywhere in the house
A complete loss of water pressure can indicate a major break in your main line or a municipal issue. We'll diagnose the cause.
A toilet that won't stop overflowing
A clogged or malfunctioning toilet can quickly lead to water damage or even raw sewage backup. We respond quickly to prevent a bad situation from getting worse.
Water heater leaking or making loud noises
If your water heater is leaking or making loud popping/banging noises, we can repair or replace it to restore hot water to your home safely.
Frozen pipes that haven't burst yet
Don't wait for the thaw. We can safely thaw frozen pipes before they split and cause catastrophic water damage.
What to Do
What to Do While You Wait for Us
The sooner you take action, the less damage your home will suffer. Follow these steps while we are en route to your location.
Shut off your main water valve
Usually located near the water meter or where the line enters the house.
Shut off water to a single fixture
Turn it off at its local valve if only one area is affected (like a toilet or sink).
If you smell gas
Leave the house immediately, call the gas company from outside, then call us.
Avoid chemical drain cleaners
Don't pour chemical drain cleaner into a backed-up line, it can make the eventual repair more dangerous.
