A plumbing emergency is any problem that can quickly damage your property or make your home or business unsafe to use. Our emergency plumbing repair service focuses on stopping the problem first, then fixing the cause. For smaller issues that can wait a day or two, our general plumbing repair service can help.
While you wait for a plumber, a few simple steps can protect your property. Our guide on limiting water damage while you wait for a plumber explains what to do.
A burst pipe can release a lot of water in a short time. Pipes often break in cold weather when the water inside freezes. Shut off the water as soon as you can, then call for burst pipe repair. Smaller drips matter too. Leaking pipe repair can stop a slow leak before it rots wood, stains ceilings, or leads to mold. For leaks around fixtures, valves, or appliances, water leak repair can find and fix the source.
One slow sink is usually not an emergency. But when several drains back up at once, or dirty water comes up through a floor drain or tub, the main line may be blocked. Professional drain cleaning clears buildup in your pipes, and sewer line cleaning can clear grease and debris from the main line. If roots, broken pipe, or a collapsed section is the cause, sewer line repair may be needed.
A water heater that leaks from the tank, makes loud popping sounds, or stops making hot water should be checked quickly. Our water heater repair service can find the problem. If an old tank needs to be replaced, we also handle water heater installation, including tankless water heater options. A toilet that keeps overflowing is another common call. Clogged toilet repair can clear the blockage and help stop the toilet from backing up again.
Most emergency calls start in the bathroom, the kitchen, or the water line that brings water into the building. Here is how we help in each area.
Bathrooms see many urgent problems, from overflowing toilets to clogged tubs and leaks behind the wall. We handle bathroom plumbing needs, including toilet repair for running, leaking, or loose toilets, and faucet repair for drips and leaks. If a basement floor drain starts backing up, emergency drain cleaning can clear the line.
Kitchen sinks clog from grease, food scraps, and soap buildup. We clear a stubborn clog in the sink, handle sink repair for leaks under the cabinet, fix a jammed or leaking unit with garbage disposal repair, and repair other kitchen plumbing problems. If dirty water rises up through the sink or a nearby drain, it may be a sewer issue that needs sewer backup cleanup.
Low water pressure, a wet spot near the foundation, or a sudden loss of water can point to a problem with your water line. We handle water line repairs, and leak detection can help find hidden leaks inside walls or under floors. Old or corroded pipes that keep failing may need pipe replacement.
Plumbing emergencies are stressful, whether you own a house, rent an apartment, or manage a building. Before anything goes wrong, it helps to know how to find your main water shutoff valve so you can stop the water quickly.
Sewer backups need special care because the water may contain sewage. In New York City, property owners are responsible for the sewer line that connects their building to the City sewer, and raw sewage backing up into a home should be reported to 311. You can learn more on the NYC DEP sewer backup page.
For apartment buildings, stores, and restaurants, a plumbing problem can affect many people at once. Regular plumbing maintenance can help catch small issues early. When you need help, call us or fill out the form below to request emergency plumbing assistance.

A plumbing problem is an emergency when it can quickly damage your property or make your home unsafe. Examples include a burst pipe, water you cannot shut off, sewage coming up through a drain, a leaking water heater, a toilet that keeps overflowing, or suddenly having no water at all.
Turn off the main water shutoff valve right away. Keep people away from any water near outlets, appliances, or the electrical panel. Move belongings out of the way, then call a plumber. If a pipe is frozen, NYC DEP advises never using an open flame to thaw it.
A single slow drain can usually wait. It becomes urgent when several drains back up at once, water comes up in a tub or floor drain when you use another fixture, or the backup smells like sewage. These signs often point to a blocked main line.
According to NYC DEP, the most common cause is pipes blocked by grease, wipes, and other items that should not go down toilets and sinks. Tree roots and damaged pipes can also cause backups. In NYC, raw sewage backing up into a home should be reported to 311.
Cost depends on the type of problem, how hard the pipes are to reach, the parts needed, and how much damage has already happened. Ask the plumber to explain the work and the price before the repair starts.
If it is safe, close the cold water valve that feeds the heater. Do not touch an electric heater while standing in water. If you smell gas near a gas water heater, leave the building and call 911 or your gas utility from outside. Then call a plumber.
Stop the water at the nearest valve or the main shutoff. Move furniture, rugs, and electronics out of the water’s path. Soak up standing water with towels or a mop, and take photos of the damage for your records.
