Emergency Plumbing Services
What Qualifies as Emergency Services?
Emergency plumbing services are reserved for plumbing issues that need immediate attention. Minor leaks, non-functioning toilets, and clogged drains are not considered emergencies. Plumbing emergencies include…
- Ruptured pipes causing leaks or gushing water
- Complete loss of running water
- Sewer line clogs or backups
- Leaking hot water heater
- Sump pump malfunction
- Suspected gas leaks
Some situations may seem like emergencies (like when the hot water isn’t working!), but it would be unwise to contact a plumber requesting an emergency service call. Emergency service calls involve experienced plumbers working outside regular hours.
Not only will you be charged more than a normal service call, but the plumber may not be happy to answer a call at 1am only to find a clogged toilet that could have waited until the next morning!
Are Emergency Services Worth it?
There are lots of scenarios where a plumbing issue needs to be addressed immediately to prevent serious damage, injury, or even long-term structural issues in your home. Even if you pay more for a plumber to schedule an after-hours visit, or prioritize your issue in their work schedule, you’ll be grateful you did.
An issue like a burst pipe seems easy enough to resolve, but there may be much more going on that only an experienced plumber is qualified to diagnose and repair. A good rule of thumb is if you can’t stop the flow of water, or on the other hand, the water suddenly won’t work, call a plumber immediately!

F.A.Q.
When an emergency plumbing situation happens, you may have a lot of questions regarding how to take action. Here are some of the top questions regarding emergency plumbing services.
Does a plumber handle gas leaks?
Yes, the only qualified service professional to handle emergency gas leaks in the home is a plumber. The gas company also fixes gas leaks, but typically, the gas company is only responsible for leaks on their side of the meter. If you suspect a gas leak, call a plumber IMMEDIATELY!
Do plumbers work on holidays?
Yes. In fact, the holidays tend to be the busiest times for plumbing companies. While smaller companies may keep limited staff on-call, there is almost always someone available for emergency plumbing calls 24/7.
How much do emergency plumbing services cost?
These rates can depend on the job, distance traveled, and time. Expect to pay a flat service fee, an hourly charge, and (depending on your area) a travel fee. According to homeadvisor.com, the average range of emergency plumbing labor services is $173-$459.
Is a leaking pipe considered an emergency?
There are two scenarios where a leak is considered an emergency.
- You notice water pooling from an unknown source, or a wet spot growing on the wall or ceiling.
- The leak causing a “gushing” or outright “pouring” of water that you are unable to stop.
If you encounter either of these situations, immediately shut off the water main to your home, and contact a plumber as soon as possible.
