What Is Considered a Plumbing Emergency?
While a catastrophic event like a burst pipe obviously qualifies as an emergency, many other common plumbing problems also require immediate attention. These issues pose serious threats to your home’s structure, your family’s health, and your day-to-day life. Delaying a repair for these specific situations can quickly turn what may start as a manageable problem into a major, expensive crisis.
Request one of our emergency plumbers right away if you are dealing with any of the following emergencies:
- Total loss of water. If no water comes out from any faucet in your house, you could be dealing with a main line break or a serious issue with your water meter. We must address a total water loss immediately, as you cannot cook, clean, or use your toilet until we fix the underlying problem.
- Sewage backup. Wastewater backing up into your sinks, toilets, or tubs presents a significant health hazard, as sewage contains harmful bacteria and pathogens. Our drain cleaning services can clear the blockage fast to protect your family's health and prevent extensive contamination and a costlier cleanup.
- Broken water heater. A sudden lack of hot water can easily become an emergency, especially if your water heater is actively leaking or showing signs of a gas leak (like the smell of rotten eggs). If your unit is leaking, it risks flooding the area. If you suspect a gas leak, turn off the gas supply and call us immediately. We can safely diagnose and fix the unit or install a replacement.
- Major leaks that cause flooding. Any fixture, pipe, or appliance leak that causes a pool of standing water or visibly spreads across your floor needs urgent attention. Uncontrolled water damages floors, walls, and foundations quickly, promoting mold growth and compromising structural integrity. We can stop the leak and work to minimize the water damage.
- Multiple clogged toilets or drains. While a single slow drain doesn’t necessarily require emergency attention, multiple clogged drains or toilets tend to indicate a serious blockage in your main sewer line. This issue will inevitably lead to a severe sewage backup if you put off addressing it. We can use specialized equipment to clear the deep blockage before it turns into a disaster.

What Should I Do When a Pipe Bursts?
Discovering a burst pipe anywhere in your home is a stressful situation, but acting quickly and calmly helps minimize the damage to your home. Do not waste time trying to fix a major leak yourself. Immediately give our team at Ability Plumbing Service and Repair a call so that we can dispatch a professional plumber as quickly as possible.
While you wait for one of our experts to arrive, you can take several important steps to protect your property. First, you need to stop the flow of water. Locate your home's main water shut-off valve and turn it completely off. This valve is usually near your water meter, in your basement, or outside your house. Stopping the water supply prevents further flooding and limits the total water damage.
Next, if the leak is near any electrical appliances or outlets, prioritize your and your family’s safety. Turn off the electricity to that affected area by flipping the corresponding breaker in your electrical panel. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination, so exercise extreme caution.
Finally, focus on damage control. If the leak occurs in an accessible area, place buckets or large containers under the spray to catch the water. Move furniture, rugs, and valuable items away from the flooded area to help prevent irreversible damage to these items. You should also take pictures or video of the damage before you clean up, as this documentation helps with any insurance claims you may file later.
Again, do not worry about a permanent fix: Just focus on containing the mess. Our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly, and when we get there, we can take over and complete a professional and dependable repair.
