What Is Considered a Plumbing Emergency?

A plumbing emergency typically involves any situation that threatens to cause significant water damage to your property or poses a health risk to its occupants. If you cannot wait until normal business hours without risking property destruction or personal safety, you are likely dealing with an emergency that demands immediate professional attention.

Our team at Copperhead Plumbing & Heating is prepared to handle many common plumbing emergencies, including:

• Burst pipes. Freezing temperatures or aging infrastructure can lead to ruptured pipes that release gallons of water into your walls or floors within minutes. We can quickly locate the source of the leak and replace the damaged section of piping to help minimize structural damage and mold growth.
• Sewer system backups. A backup in your main sewer line forces wastewater back into your drains and toilets, creating a hazardous environment full of harmful bacteria. Our team can use advanced camera equipment to identify the location of the obstruction and clear the line to restore the flow.
• Gas leaks. The smell of sulfur or rotten eggs generally indicates a natural gas leak, which presents an immediate danger of fire or an explosion. If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate your property immediately and call 9-1-1. Once it’s safe to go back inside, our gas line plumbing technicians can use specialized tools to locate the precise source of the leak. Then, we can seal the line or replace connections to resolve the problem.
• Water heater failure. A leaking water heater can rapidly flood your basement or utility room, while a lack of hot water is an enormous inconvenience that disrupts your day. We can inspect your unit to determine if a repair or a full replacement offers the best solution for reliably restoring your hot water supply.
• Severe clogs. Grease, hair, and foreign objects can accumulate deep within your pipes to create blockages that simple plungers cannot dislodge. Our drain cleaning professionals can use powerful hydro-jetting technology to safely blast away these stubborn obstructions and clear the interiors of your pipes.
• Overflowing toilets. A toilet that refuses to stop running or completely overflows creates an unsanitary mess that risks water damage to the flooring below. We can diagnose the underlying clog or mechanical failure and perform the necessary repairs.
• Slab leaks. A sudden and unexplained spike in your water bill, hearing running water when the taps are off, or feeling warm spots on the floor are all potential signs of a slab leak, which occurs when pipes beneath your concrete foundation break, crack, or corrode. We can use advanced, non-invasive equipment to pinpoint the leak's exact location and perform the necessary repairs to protect your property's structural integrity.

Helpful information to have ready

If you can, sharing a few details helps us respond more efficiently:

A Pipe Burst in My Home. How Can I Minimize Water Damage Before Help Arrives?

Though our emergency plumbers are prepared to make every effort to get to you as quickly as possible, we realize that the water from a burst pipe spreads rapidly and can do serious damage before we arrive. Taking a few simple steps right now can help protect your property and make the repair process easier once our team reaches your door.

Start by locating your main water shut-off valve, which you can typically find in the basement, utility room, or near the street curb. Turn the handle or wheel clockwise until the water flow stops completely. Next, open all of your faucets (both hot and cold) to help drain the remaining water from the pipes and relieve internal pressure. If the water touches or is nearing any electrical outlets or appliances, go to your electrical panel (if it is safe to do so) and turn off the power to minimize the risk of shock hazards. Once the flow stops, move any furniture or valuables away from the affected area to help keep them dry. Then, grab a mop and heavy towels to soak up as much standing water as possible.
