  • Ruptured pipes create immediate crises that require swift professional response to protect your Tacoma property from devastating water damage. Our emergency plumbers rapidly address frozen pipes that burst during unexpected cold weather, aging pipes failing from corrosion and wear, supply lines breaking and flooding rooms, and main water line failures affecting your entire property. We arrive with pipe repair materials, cutting and joining equipment, and replacement sections to stop leaks and restore your water system, working efficiently to limit damage to flooring, walls, and personal belongings.

  • Water heater emergencies range from complete system failures leaving you without hot water to catastrophic tank leaks flooding your home. Our emergency team responds to tanks leaking substantial water, complete hot water loss disrupting daily routines, unusual noises suggesting impending failure, temperature problems creating scalding or cold water, and pilot light issues preventing proper operation. We service all water heater types—tank and tankless, gas and electric—and maintain inventory to provide same-day replacements when repairs aren't feasible.

  • Sewage backups create hazardous, unsanitary conditions demanding immediate professional attention. Our emergency plumbers quickly respond to main sewer line blockages causing multiple fixture backups, toilets overflowing with waste water, drains backing up throughout your home or business, and sewage odors indicating serious system problems. Using powerful hydro-jetting systems and professional drain cables, we clear severe blockages and restore proper waste removal, protecting your family's health and preventing contamination of your Tacoma property.

Protecting Your Property During Plumbing Emergencies


Quick thinking during plumbing emergencies can prevent extensive property damage while you wait for professional help. For water leaks or burst pipes, locate your main water shutoff valve and turn it completely off—this valve is typically located where your main water line enters your home, often near your water heater, in a basement, or in a utility closet. Shutting off water stops flooding and limits damage. If a toilet is overflowing, turn the small valve at its base clockwise to cut water supply. Once you've controlled the immediate crisis, call Mr. Rooter Plumbing for emergency assistance. We'll gather details about your situation and dispatch a qualified plumber to your Tacoma-area property promptly. We understand the anxiety plumbing emergencies create and work efficiently to restore normal conditions with professionalism and respect for your property.
