What counts as a plumbing emergency?

Water or sewage getting into the house that you can't stop, a burst pipe, a gas smell, or no water at all. A running toilet or a slow drain can usually wait for a scheduled visit. See plumbing emergencies for what to do first.

What should I do while I wait for a plumber?

Shut off the water to the fixture or the whole house, keep people away from wet electrical areas, move valuables off wet floors, and take photos for insurance. Our shutoff guide shows where to find your main valve.

Do you help in my area?

Plumbing requests are taken in all 50 states and DC. Our service area pages cover local conditions in each state and over a hundred cities, from water hardness to winter freeze risk.

Does it cost anything to call?

No. Calling is free. You pay the plumbing company only for work you approve, and you agree on the price with them before work starts.

How can I check that a plumber is licensed?

Ask for the license number and look it up with your state or city licensing board. Our license guide links to every state's lookup.
