Is This a Plumbing Emergency?
Not every plumbing issue requires middle-of-the-night emergency rates. Knowing whether your situation is an active emergency helps you take the right steps immediately.
When You Should Call Right Away
Call our emergency dispatch immediately if you experience active flooding from a main line break, severe winter frozen pipes or burst lines, raw sewage backing up from drains, a total lack of water service, or the smell of natural gas near a water heater or gas line.
When It Can Likely Wait Until Morning
A slow faucet drip, a single clogged sink when other bathrooms are working, or a minor toilet running noise can usually be scheduled for a standard daytime appointment without risking property damage.
