Emergency plumbing help, by problem
Not sure what to call it? Start with what you can see or hear — each guide explains what to do first and when to stop and call a professional.
Water coming through the ceiling
Shut off the main water supply and cut power to the room. A bulging ceiling is holding water and can collapse — relieve it with a small hole into a bucket if it is safe to do so, then get a professional to find the source.
A pipe burst
Close the main water shutoff first — it is usually near the meter, an exterior wall, or in a utility area. Then cut power to wet rooms, open a low faucet to drain the lines, and request emergency plumbing help.
Toilet overflowing
Turn the supply valve behind the toilet clockwise to stop the water, or lift the tank lid and push the flapper closed. Once it stops, the important question is whether only this fixture is affected or the whole drain line.
Water heater leaking
Shut off the cold water supply valve at the top of the heater and cut its power or gas. A leak from a fitting or valve is usually repairable; water coming from the tank body itself means the unit needs replacement.
Sewage backing up
Stop using every water fixture in the building immediately — each flush or drain cycle adds to the backup. Sewage indoors is a biohazard; keep people and pets away and get professional help rather than attempting chemical fixes.
No hot water
Start with power or fuel: check the breaker for an electric heater, or the pilot and gas supply for a gas unit. If those are fine, the likely causes are a failed thermostat, heating element, thermocouple, or igniter.
Plumbing services we match
Emergency Plumber
An emergency plumber handles plumbing failures that cannot safely wait — burst pipes, sewage backups, uncontrolled leaks, and no-water situations. If water is actively escaping, shut off the water supply first, then request help.
Burst Pipe Repair
If a pipe has burst, close the main water shutoff immediately, then cut power to any wet area. Burst pipe repair involves locating the failure, removing the damaged section, and replacing it — plus checking why it failed.
Sewer Backup
A sewer backup means wastewater cannot leave the property. Stop using all water immediately, keep people and pets away from the contaminated area, and request professional help — this is a biohazard, not a plunger job.
Main Water Line Repair
The main water line carries water from the meter to the property. A break shows up as soggy ground, a running meter, dropping pressure, or a total loss of water — and it usually needs prompt repair or replacement.
