FAQ
Emergency plumber questions
What should I do before the plumber arrives?
Turn off the main water shutoff, switch off the water heater, and move valuables away from the water. Take photos for your insurance.
Can it wait until morning?
If you can shut off the water and nothing is leaking, a slow drain or a running toilet can usually wait for normal rates. Active leaks and sewage backups should not wait.
Why do emergency plumbers cost more?
Night, weekend and holiday calls pull a plumber away from normal hours, so most charge a higher hourly rate or a flat emergency fee.
