FAQs
Frequently asked questions about plumbing emergencies:
What is considered a plumbing emergency?

Response times can vary based on demand and location, but our team prioritizes emergency calls and works to reach your home as quickly as possible. When you call, we will give you clear expectations and guidance right away.
Should I shut off my water before the plumber arrives?
Yes, if it is safe to do so. Turning off your main water supply can help reduce damage during a leak or burst pipe. If you are unsure where your shutoff valve is, our team can help guide you over the phone.
Do you handle emergency sewer backups?
