Call Mr. Rooter Plumbing® for an Emergency Plumber

What to do until a 24-hour plumber comes depends on the emergency. In most cases, it’s recommended that you shut off your water supply and main shut-off valve, remove excess water, and keep pets and children away from the problem area.

If you need to make temporary pipe repairs before your emergency plumber arrives, you may like to take these actions:

1. Contact a trusted emergency plumbing company
2. Turn off the water supply
3. Drain the traps
4. Tighten any loose joints
5. Patch small holes with duct or electrical tape
6. Use a clamp kit

A plumbing emergency can be any plumbing woe that risks your health and safety. Not having hot water or experiencing a gas leak are two of many examples of an emergency plumbing situation. Call your local 24 hour plumbing team without delay!

We’ve provided a non-exhaustive list of potential emergencies below that you should call your local Mr. Rooter Plumbing^® to help with.

Your Water Supply Pipes Have Burst

Burst water supply pipes can be a damaging and costly problem if not repaired promptly. Contact a trusted plumber emergency company like Mr. Rooter Plumbing^® without delay if you suspect your water supply pipes have burst.

You might notice:

• Kitchen and bathroom faucet leaks
• Shower head leaks
• Hose bib leaks
• An overflowing toilet
• A water heater tank leak

Listen for running water, clanging and grinding pipes, and a hissing or gurgling sound inside your walls. If you experience these signs, your home’s plumbing system may require an emergency repair by a 24 hour plumber.

You Suspect Burst Sewer Pipes

There are few things as traumatic for homeowners and business owners as burst sewer pipes. Burst sewer pipes can sometimes happen when there are blockages in the drain pipes that cause pressure and lead to rupture.

You may require an emergency commercial plumber for a burst sewer pipe in your workplace or an emergency residential plumbing expert for burst pipes at home. Make the call without delay! A damaged or broken sewer pipe can cause foul-smelling sewage to enter your home or business, releasing harmful viruses, bacteria, and parasites.

You Have Clogged Fixtures

Your drains should always drain freely, whether you’re flushing a toilet or pouring water down a sink. However, if you’ve noticed slow-draining sinks or toilets that take a long time to flush, you may have clogged drains that constitute a business or home plumbing emergency.

As tempting as it can be to reach for a chemical drain cleaner, they can harm your pipes. Instead, reach out to your local trusted Mr. Rooter Plumbing^® 24/7 plumber. They can take care of your clogged fixtures and get them back in action in no time!

You Have Water Heater Problems

We need our water heaters to work at their best to provide hot water to our plumbing fixtures. A poorly performing water heater can be cause for concern. You may wish to reach out to experts for help if your water heater has a leak in the tank, the drain valve, or the pressure relief valve.

Emergency plumbers can carry out necessary repairs and even advise on how to maintain your water heaters to reduce the risk of future emergencies.

You Suspect a Gas Leak

A gas leak can certainly be a residential or commercial plumbing emergency. You may suspect a gas leak if you notice a hissing sound near your gas pipes or smell a rotten egg-like odor.

Take these actions:

1. Turn off your gas supply valve immediately
2. Open windows and doors
3. Guide all people and pets to exit your home
4. Call your preferred emergency 24/7 plumber immediately
