Emergency plumbing, 24/7

Nights, weekends and holidays included.

If water is going somewhere it should not, the clock matters more than the quote. Shut off your main and call — the number below is answered around the clock, and you will get a real arrival window rather than a vague promise.

Call immediately if

  • A pipe has burst or a supply line is spraying.
  • Sewage is backing up into a tub, shower or floor drain.
  • You have no water at all, or no way to shut the water off.
  • A water heater is leaking from the body of the tank.
  • You smell gas near a gas appliance — leave, then call the gas utility first, then us.

What to do before we arrive

  • Shut the main offIt is worth knowing where your main shut-off is before you ever need it. Turn it clockwise until it stops.
  • Kill power to the area if water is near itOnly if you can reach the breaker safely and dry.
  • Do not keep flushingOn a sewage backup every flush adds to what is coming up. Stop using every fixture in the house until we get there.
  • Photograph itBefore you mop. If you end up making an insurance claim, that first photo matters.

Storm season

Heavy rain pushes groundwater into older sewer laterals through the same cracks and root openings that cause everyday blockages, which is why backups spike after a serious storm. If your line is already marginal, a hurricane week is when it will finally let go. If you have had one backup this year, dealing with the cause before the next storm season is a great deal cheaper than dealing with it during one.

What it costs

You will be told the price before work starts, the same as any other job. Emergency work does carry a different rate, and you will have the number before we start rather than a surprise on the invoice.

Common questions

Do you really answer at 3am?
Yes. Emergency service runs 24 hours a day, including weekends and holidays.
Where is my main shut-off?
Usually where the supply enters the house, often near the front hose bib, or at the meter box by the street. Find it now rather than during a flood.
Is a running toilet an emergency?
No, but it is wasting a surprising amount of water. Shut off the valve behind it and book us for normal hours.

Let’s get it fixed.

One call gets you a real plumber, a fixed price, and a job done right. No callbacks, no surprises, no runaround.
