FIRST: STOP THE WATER
While you’re getting a plumber on the way, shutting off the water can save you thousands in damage. Here’s the fast version:
-
1
For a burst pipe or major leak — find the main shutoff It’s usually where the water line enters the house: a basement or crawlspace wall, the garage, or an outdoor box near the street. Turn the valve clockwise until it stops. That kills water to the whole house.
-
2
For an overflowing toilet — use the local valve There’s a small oval valve on the wall behind the toilet, near the floor. Turn it clockwise to stop the fill. If there isn’t one, lift the tank lid and push the flapper down closed.
-
3
For a leaking water heater — shut its supply and power Close the valve on the cold-water line above the tank. If it’s electric, switch off its breaker; if gas, turn the gas control to “off.”
-

Then call Once the water’s stopped, call and we’ll connect you with a local plumber. Tell them what’s happening and what you’ve already shut off.
WHAT COUNTS AS A PLUMBING EMERGENCY
Burst or leaking pipe
Water spraying, dripping through a ceiling, or pooling fast. Shut off the main and call — water damage compounds by the minute.
No water at all
Nothing from any tap can mean a main line break, a failed valve, or a supply problem. Worth getting on quickly, especially in freezing weather.
Sewage backing up
Waste coming up through drains, toilets, or a basement floor drain is a health hazard. Stop using water in the house and call right away.
Overflowing toilet
If it won’t stop rising, shut the valve behind it. A single overflow is manageable; repeated backups can signal a main line clog.
Flooding water heater
A tank dumping water across the floor needs its supply and power shut off fast, then a plumber — the tank itself is likely failing.
⚠️ Smell of gas? Leave first.
If you smell gas, don’t wait on a plumber. Leave the house, and from outside call 911 or your gas utility’s emergency line. Once it’s safe, call us for the repair.

WHAT EMERGENCY PLUMBING TYPICALLY COSTS
Emergency and after-hours work costs more than a scheduled visit — you’re paying for someone to come out now, often at night or on a weekend. Here are broad national ranges so you’re not caught off guard. Your contractor quotes you directly, and we don’t set or influence that price.
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Emergency call-out / diagnostic fee | $100 – $350 |
| Burst pipe repair | $300 – $1,500+ |
| Clearing a main line / sewer backup | $250 – $800+ |
| Overflowing toilet / clog | $150 – $500 |
| After-hours / weekend / holiday | Premium applies |
Ranges are general estimates only and are not quotes. Emergency pricing varies widely by time of day, severity, and your location. Your contractor gives you an actual price before any work begins.

EMERGENCY PLUMBING QUESTIONS
How fast can a plumber get to me?
We connect you in about a minute — but actual arrival time is up to the individual plumber and depends on your location, the time, and who’s available. We can’t promise a specific window. Tell us it’s urgent when you call and we’ll match you as fast as we can.
I smell gas. What should I do?
Treat it as serious. Don’t switch anything electrical on or off, leave the house, and from outside call 911 or your gas utility’s emergency line. A gas leak is a safety emergency first and a plumbing job second — once it’s made safe, call us for the repair.
Where’s my main water shutoff?
Usually where the water line enters the house — along a basement or crawlspace wall, in the garage, near the water heater, or in an outdoor box near the street. Turn the valve clockwise until it stops to cut water to the whole house. It’s worth locating it now, before you ever need it.
Do you charge extra at night or on weekends?
Calling us is always free. The contractor sets their own pricing, and most charge more for after-hours, weekend, and holiday calls — that’s standard across the trade. Your plumber tells you the price directly before any work starts.
What can I do while I wait for the plumber?
Shut off the water at the source — the main valve for a big leak, the local valve for a toilet or fixture. Move valuables away from the water, and if the ceiling is bulging from water above, keep clear of it. Then leave the rest to the pro.
Do you do the work yourselves?
No. We’re a referral service. All work is performed by independent third-party contractors who are responsible for their own licensing and insurance. We recommend verifying a contractor’s credentials before authorizing work — most states have a free online license lookup.
