Overview

Some plumbing problems give you time to plan. Others are actively putting your home or business at risk of water damage. A leaking supply line, burst pipe, sewage backup, or major fixture failure can get worse quickly, especially when water cannot be shut off.

If you can safely stop the water, do so before help arrives. Purflo Plumbing will assess the situation, locate the source, and explain what needs to be done. Depending on the problem, that may mean an immediate repair, replacing a failed component, or taking a temporary step to prevent further damage before completing the full repair.

Symptoms

When to call for emergency plumbing

You cannot stop the water

A leak that continues after the fixture shutoff is closed may require the main water supply to be turned off. If water is spreading through flooring, walls, cabinets, or other areas, prompt attention can help limit the damage.

A pipe has burst

A burst pipe can release a significant amount of water in a short time. Shut off the main water supply if you can safely reach it, stay away from standing water near electrical equipment, and call for emergency plumbing help.

Wastewater is backing up

Water or sewage coming back through a drain, toilet, tub, or other fixture should not be ignored. Stop using the affected plumbing and avoid adding more water until the cause has been identified.

You suddenly have no water

A sudden loss of water can have several causes, including a failed component or a problem within the plumbing system. If the issue is not explained by a known utility interruption, a plumber can inspect the accessible system and determine what needs attention.

Our process

What happens during an emergency visit

  1. Describe the problem

    We start with what you have observed: where the water is coming from, which fixtures are affected, when the problem started, and whether anything has changed since then.

  2. Stop the immediate problem

    When possible, the water supply to the affected fixture or the main supply is shut off. We also look for active leaks, standing water, and other conditions that could make the situation worse.

  3. Find the source

    The visible symptom is not always the actual cause. We inspect the plumbing to determine where the failure, blockage, or leak is coming from so the repair addresses the right problem.

  4. Explain your options

    Once we know what is happening, we explain the recommended repair and what it involves. If the situation requires additional work, parts, or a follow-up visit, we will explain that before moving forward.

Emergency Plumbing questions

Answers before you book.

More questions on our full FAQ page.

What should I do before the plumber arrives?

If it is safe, shut off the water at the affected fixture or main supply. Move belongings away from the water and avoid using affected fixtures. Never touch electrical equipment while standing in or near water.

Is a leaking fixture an emergency?

It depends on the amount of water and whether the leak can be stopped. A leak that is spreading, getting worse, or reaching flooring, cabinets, or walls should be addressed promptly.

Can you repair a burst pipe during the visit?

Often, but it depends on where the pipe failed, the extent of the damage, and what is needed to make the repair properly. After inspecting the problem, the plumber will explain the available repair.

What if a drain is backing up?

Stop using the affected fixtures and avoid adding more water to the system. Do not pour chemical drain cleaner into the drain while the cause is unknown. A plumber can determine what is causing the backup and recommend the appropriate repair.

Plumbing Problems Don't Always Wait

A leaking pipe, backed-up drain, or failed fixture can quickly turn into a bigger problem. If you can safely shut off the water, do so, then contact Purflo Plumbing so the issue can be assessed before more damage occurs.
