Not every leak needs a midnight call — but some absolutely do. Here’s how we triage emergency plumbing across St. John’s and the Northeast Avalon.
Call emergency dispatch for
- Active burst pipes or flooding you can’t stop
- Sewage overflowing into living space
- No water to the whole home with no utility outage
- Gas smell near a water heater or boiler (follow utility / emergency guidance)
- Frozen lines that start spraying when they thaw
Can often wait until morning
- A dripping faucet with the shutoff working
- One slow sink with other drains fine
- A noisy but still heating water heater with no leak
Before we arrive
- Locate and close the main shutoff if water is running.
- Move valuables and use towels/buckets to limit damage.
- Flip the breaker if an electric water heater is leaking.
Our 2024 Ford Transit carries emergency shutoff parts, thawing equipment, and common fittings so we can stabilize the home on the first visit whenever possible.
