Plumbing problems that need a call today
Water you can't shut off
Find the main shutoff — usually near the water meter, in the basement, or on an exterior wall — and close it before anything else. Every minute of running water adds drywall, flooring, and mold cost.
Sewage backing up into tubs or floor drains
This is a health hazard and usually a main line blockage. Stop using every fixture in the house, including washing machines, until it's cleared.
No hot water plus a wet floor at the tank
A leaking water heater tank does not get repaired — it gets replaced. Shut off the water supply and the gas or breaker to the unit.
A pipe that froze and then burst
Shut the main off, open a faucet to relieve pressure, and call. The damage is done at the moment it thaws, so speed genuinely matters.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an emergency plumber cost?
Expect a premium for nights, weekends, and holidays — often a higher call-out fee plus an elevated hourly rate. For an active leak or sewage backup, that premium is still far cheaper than the water damage you avoid.
How do I stop a leak before the plumber arrives?
Close the fixture's local shutoff valve if it has one; otherwise close the main. Knowing where your main shutoff is before an emergency is one of the highest-value things you can learn about your home.
Why do my drains keep clogging?
Repeat clogs in one fixture usually mean a partial blockage or a venting problem. Repeat clogs across several fixtures point at the main line — possibly roots, a belly in the pipe, or a collapse, which a camera inspection can confirm.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
Under about 8 years with a fixable component — thermostat, element, valve — repair usually makes sense. Past 10–12 years, or any leak from the tank itself, replacement is the answer.
Are plumbers licensed?
Plumbing is licensed in most states, and permits are commonly required for water heater replacement, repiping, and sewer work. Ask for the license number and confirm it with your state board before work starts.
What should I have ready when I call?
The location of the problem, how long it's been happening, what you've already tried, and the age of the fixture or appliance involved. Photos help a dispatcher send the right technician with the right parts.
