Emergency Plumbing Tips

Follow these steps while waiting for your emergency plumber to arrive:

  1. 1
    Shut off the water supply

    Turn the shutoff valve under the sink or toilet, or use your main house shutoff near the water meter.

  2. 2
    Turn off the water heater

    If your water supply is cut, turn off the water heater to prevent damage to the tank.

  3. 3
    Document the damage

    Take photos for insurance purposes before any cleanup begins.

  4. 4
    Don't use electrical appliances near water

    Keep all electronics away from standing water to avoid shock hazards.

  5. 5
    Call a licensed plumber — not just a handyman

    Emergency repairs require a licensed professional who carries liability insurance and proper permits.

Common Questions

Emergency Plumbing FAQs

How much does an emergency plumber cost?

Emergency plumbing typically costs 1.5–2× the standard rate. Expect $150–$300/hr after hours, plus any parts. Many issues can be resolved in 1–2 hours. Always ask for an upfront estimate.

How fast can an emergency plumber arrive?

Most emergency plumbers aim to arrive within 1–2 hours. Response times vary by city and time of day. Calling multiple plumbers from our directory increases your chances of a fast response.

What qualifies as a plumbing emergency?

Situations that require immediate attention: burst pipes, sewage backups, overflowing toilets that won't stop, complete loss of water, or gas-related plumbing issues. Minor drips can usually wait until business hours.

Does homeowner's insurance cover emergency plumbing?

Most homeowner's policies cover sudden and accidental damage (e.g., burst pipes) but not gradual wear or neglected maintenance. Document everything and file a claim as soon as possible.

Should I attempt a temporary fix myself?

Turning off the water supply is always safe. Beyond that, avoid DIY repairs on emergency situations — improper fixes can void insurance claims and worsen damage. Let the licensed plumber assess first.

What information should I have ready when I call?

Your address, a description of the problem, whether water is still running, and if there's visible water damage. The more detail you give, the better the plumber can prepare before arriving.
