What Qualifies as a Plumbing Emergency?

Some plumbing issues are more than inconvenient—they pose serious risks to your property, safety, and peace of mind. Knowing what qualifies as a plumbing emergency can help you recognize problems early and act fast, minimizing damage and avoiding costly repairs. 

Common plumbing emergencies that require immediate attention include the following:

  • Burst or leaking pipes – When a pipe bursts or starts leaking, the water damage can be extensive. Even a small leak can quickly flood rooms, damage walls and floors, and compromise the structural integrity of your home. 
  • Gas leaks – Gas leaks are serious and hazardous plumbing issues. If you smell gas, evacuate the area and contact a plumber immediately. If not addressed immediately, gas leaks can lead to explosions or carbon monoxide poisoning.
  • Blocked or overflowing toilets – An overflowing toilet is an urgent problem. It can lead to water damage, unsanitary conditions, and costly repairs. If your toilet won’t stop overflowing, it’s time to call in the professionals.
  • No water access – Losing access to running water can halt your daily routine, making it essential to restore service quickly. Whether the issue is a broken main water line or a malfunctioning valve, our team is ready to resolve the problem without delay.
  • Sewer system backups – A sewer backup is unpleasant and hazardous. Blocked sewer lines can lead to raw sewage backing up into your home, creating serious health risks. This issue requires prompt, professional intervention to avoid contamination.
  • Water heater failure – A malfunctioning water heater can leave you without hot water, which is especially critical during colder months. Our plumbers can diagnose and repair water heater issues to restore comfort.
  • Frozen pipes – Frozen pipes can easily burst during colder months, leading to extensive water damage. If you notice a drop in water pressure or hear strange noises, addressing the issue is vital before pipes crack or rupture.
  • Uncontrolled water leaks – A water leak that you can’t turn off, such as one from a broken faucet or malfunctioning appliance, can lead to flooding and extensive damage. The faster you get it fixed, the less damage it will cause.

These issues can result in significant property damage and safety hazards if not addressed immediately. We’re committed to providing fast, efficient emergency plumbing services to mitigate these risks. With state-of-the-art equipment and a customer-first approach, we’re ready to tackle your plumbing emergency—so you don’t have to face it alone.

What to Do During a Plumbing Emergency

Quick action can make a difference in minimizing damage and preventing costly repairs when a plumbing emergency strikes. These situations can be stressful. That’s why we’ve compiled a simple step-by-step guide to help you navigate a plumbing crisis confidently. 

Following these steps can help reduce the impact of the emergency until our team arrives to provide a permanent solution:

  • Shut off the water supply (or gas valve, if necessary) – The first and most crucial step in a plumbing emergency is to stop water flow (or gas) to prevent further damage. Locate the main water shutoff valve and turn it off immediately. Turn off the gas supply valve if you're dealing with a gas leak. This action can help minimize water or gas exposure to your home, preventing additional issues.
  • Avoid using affected plumbing fixtures – Avoid using plumbing fixtures in the affected, whether clogged toilets or burst pipes. Attempting to use these systems can worsen the situation, leading to flooding or additional damage. Keep clear of the area to avoid any accidents or complications.
  • Call us immediately – Our team is ready to respond at a moment’s notice. Contact us at (813) 859-5693 for fast, reliable service.
  • Take photos for insurance (if safe to do so) – If it’s safe, take photos of the damage to document the issue for your insurance claim. These photos can be invaluable in expediting your claim process and ensuring that all damage is adequately covered. Just be sure to avoid putting yourself in harm’s way to get the shots.
  • Minimize water damage while waiting for help – While waiting for our team to arrive, you can do a few things to reduce water damage. If the leak is minor, place towels or containers underneath the source of the leak to catch the water. Move valuable items away from the affected area to prevent further damage. If flooding occurs, you may want to use a wet-dry vacuum to remove as much water as possible until we arrive.

Plumbing emergencies are never convenient, but with these tips and our prompt response, you can rest assured that you’re taking the proper steps to protect your home and property.
