Emergency plumber, fast
Burst pipe, water on the floor, a sewer backup or no water at all. Call now and we'll connect you with a local plumber taking emergency calls.
What counts as a plumbing emergency
- A burst or leaking pipe you can't stop.
- Sewage or dirty water backing up into drains or toilets.
- Water pooling near electrical outlets or appliances.
- No water to the whole home.
- A water heater leaking from the tank.
- A gas smell: leave the home and call your gas utility or 911 first.
Do this now
- Shut off the water. Use the fixture's valve, or the main shut-off (often near the water meter, in a basement, garage or outside).
- Kill power nearby at the breaker if water is near outlets, and only from a dry spot.
- Stop using drains if sewage is backing up.
- Move valuables and soak up standing water.
- Take photos of the problem.
- Call a plumber.
What the plumber does
The first job is to stop the water and make things safe. Then the plumber finds the cause (a split pipe, a failed fitting, a blocked main line) and repairs it, or sets up a temporary fix and comes back with parts.

FAQ
Emergency Plumber: common questions
Do plumbers come out at night and on weekends?
Many do. Call and tell us it's an emergency; we'll connect you with a plumber taking emergency calls in your area.
Where is my main water shut-off?
Usually where the water line enters the home: basement, crawl space, garage, utility closet or near the water meter outside.
Do you do the work yourselves?
No. DrainResponsePros is a referral service. The plumbing company you speak with does the work and agrees the details with you directly.
