What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?
Not every plumbing issue requires an after-hours call, but some problems can quickly turn into costly damage if they aren't addressed right away. Here are the most common situations that warrant an emergency call to Newman's Plumbing Service & Repair.
- ✓Burst or Leaking Pipes A burst pipe can flood a home or business in minutes, causing water damage to floors, walls, and belongings. Shut off your main water valve if you can, then call us immediately for emergency pipe repair.
- ✓Sewer Line Backups Sewage backing up into sinks, tubs, or toilets is a health hazard that needs immediate attention. Our team responds quickly with camera inspection equipment to locate and clear the blockage.
- ✓No Hot Water A failed water heater is more than an inconvenience, especially in cold weather or for businesses that depend on hot water. We offer emergency water heater repair and replacement to get your hot water back fast.
- ✓Overflowing Toilets or Fixtures A toilet or fixture that won't stop overflowing can damage flooring and subfloors quickly. We provide rapid response to stop the overflow and repair the underlying cause.
- ✓Gas Line Issues If you smell gas or suspect a gas line leak, leave the property immediately and call your gas utility, then contact us for safe, professional gas line repair.
What to Do While You Wait for Your Emergency Plumber
The moments before your plumber arrives matter. Taking a few quick steps can limit damage and keep your family or employees safe.
If you're dealing with a burst pipe or major leak, locate your main water shut-off valve and turn it off right away. For sewage backups, avoid using any sinks, toilets, or drains until we arrive. If you smell gas, do not operate light switches or appliances, evacuate the area, and call from a safe distance. Whatever the emergency, our dispatch team will walk you through safety steps over the phone the moment you call.
