Reliable Emergency Plumbing Services in Southeast Minnesota

Signs You Are Having a Plumbing Emergency

It's not always easy to tell if a plumbing issue is urgent or something that can wait. A minor leak might seem manageable, but certain signs indicate that you need immediate help to prevent serious damage. If you notice any of the following problems, it's time to call an emergency plumber:

• Water Leaks That Won't Stop – A leaking pipe, faucet, or appliance that won't stop dripping or spraying water can lead to water damage, mold growth, and increased utility bills.
• Sudden Water Pressure Drop – If you turn on the tap and only a trickle comes out, it could be a sign of a hidden pipe burst, a municipal water supply issue, or a major clog in your system.
• Multiple Clogged Drains – One slow drain may not be a major issue, but if multiple drains in your home are backing up at the same time, it could indicate a blockage in your main sewer line.
• Toilet Overflowing or Won't Flush – An overflowing toilet can lead to water damage and sanitation issues. If plunging doesn't resolve the problem, it may require professional attention.
• Water Heater Leaks or No Hot Water – A leaking water heater can cause flooding, and a sudden loss of hot water may indicate a failing unit that needs urgent repair or replacement.
• Sewage Smell or Wastewater Backup – If you notice foul odors coming from your drains or see wastewater backing up into your sinks, tubs, or toilets, this is a serious plumbing emergency that requires immediate action.
• Gas Smell or Suspected Leak – If you smell gas or hear a hissing sound near gas lines or appliances, evacuate your home immediately and call for emergency plumbing services.
• Lush or Soggy Spots in the Lawn – If certain areas of your yard are unusually green or consistently wet, it may indicate a hidden underground pipe leak that needs immediate attention.

If you're experiencing any of these, or you're concerned you may have a problem but aren't sure, call our team immediately!

What to Do in a Plumbing Emergency

Plumbing emergencies can be overwhelming, but staying calm and taking a few quick actions can help reduce damage and make the repair process smoother. Knowing what to do before professional help arrives can prevent the issue from escalating and save you from costly repairs. Here's what you can do:

• Shut Off the Water Supply – If you have a burst pipe or overflowing fixture, locate your main water shut-off valve and turn it off to stop the water flow.
• Avoid Using Plumbing Fixtures – If you suspect a sewer backup, refrain from using any sinks, toilets, or drains to prevent further contamination.
• Turn Off the Gas Supply (If Needed) – If you detect a gas leak, turn off the gas at the main valve and evacuate your home immediately before calling for emergency assistance.
• Contain the Damage Where Possible – Use towels, buckets, or a wet/dry vacuum to manage leaks and prevent water from spreading to other areas.
• Call for Professional Help Right Away – The sooner you contact a professional plumbing service, the faster the issue can be resolved to prevent further damage.
