A plumbing emergency involves active water damage, health hazards, or complete loss of essential plumbing function. This includes burst pipes, water heater failures, sewage backups, major toilet overflows, and severe drain blockages that prevent normal use of your kitchen or bathroom.
A dripping faucet or slow drain, while annoying, typically doesn’t require emergency service rates. However, if that slow drain suddenly becomes a complete backup that’s flooding your bathroom, it’s moved into emergency territory. When in doubt, we’ll help you determine if your situation needs immediate attention or can wait for regular service hours.
