Is It a Plumbing Emergency?
If water or sewage is going somewhere it shouldn't and you can't stop it, call now. If the problem is contained, it can usually wait for a scheduled visit.
| Call now, day or night | Can usually wait for a scheduled visit |
|---|---|
| A burst or leaking pipe you can’t stop | A dripping faucet |
| Water near outlets, appliances, or your electrical panel | One slow drain while other fixtures work |
| Sewage backing up into tubs, showers, or floor drains | A toilet that runs but doesn’t overflow |
| A toilet still overflowing after you close its valve | Low water pressure at one fixture |
| A water heater leaking from the tank | No hot water with no leak (call if you need it tonight) |
| No water to the whole property | A noisy pipe or water heater |
| Signs of a slab leak: a warm spot on the floor, the sound of running water, or a meter moving with everything off | Planning a repipe or water heater replacement |
Smell gas? Don't use switches or phones inside. Leave the building, then call 911 and Peoples Gas at 877-832-6747 (24/7). Call us after the gas company has made the area safe.
What to Do Right Now, Before the Plumber Arrives
- Stop the water. Close the valve behind the toilet or under the sink first. If that doesn’t stop it, close the main shutoff. Most Tampa Bay homes sit on concrete slabs with no basement, so the main valve is usually where the water line enters the house: on an outside wall near a hose bib, or in the garage. In a condo, check near your water heater or utility closet, or call building maintenance.
- Stay away from water and electricity together. If water is near outlets or the panel, keep out of the area. Turn off the breaker only if you can reach it while standing on a dry surface.
- Shut down a leaking water heater. For electric, switch off its breaker. For gas, turn the control knob to Off or Pilot. Then close the cold-water valve on top of the tank.
- During a sewage backup, stop using water. Don’t flush, shower, or run the washer or dishwasher. Every gallon you use comes back up the lowest drain. Keep children and pets out of the contaminated area.
- Protect your property and document it. Move valuables, soak up standing water, and take photos and video for your insurance claim before cleanup.
What Happens When You Call All Hours Plumber
- A real person answers, 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail that gets returned the next morning, and not an answering service that can’t help.

- You get the diagnosis and a flat-rate price before any work starts. You approve the price first. No hidden charges.
- We fix the problem and clean up. We protect your floors and leave the work area clean.
Emergency Plumbing Problems We Handle
- Burst pipes and active leaks: Broken pipes, failed shutoff valves, and main water line leaks. We stop the water, repair the damage, and recommend a repipe when old pipes keep failing.
- Sewer backups and main drain clogs: Sewage coming up through toilets, tubs, showers, or floor drains. We clear the blockage with professional drain cleaning and hydro jetting, then run a camera inspection to check for possible damage that needs repair.
- Failed or leaking water heaters: Leaking tanks, broken connections, failed heating parts, or sudden loss of hot water. We provide water heater repair and installation for tank, tankless, gas, electric, and hybrid units.
- Slab leaks and hidden water line leaks: Leaking pipes under concrete slabs, behind walls, and beneath floors. A sudden jump in your water bill is often the first sign. We locate the leak and repair it.
- Overflowing toilets and stubborn clogs: Toilets that overflow or keep backing up, and clogs a plunger won’t clear. We find the cause, clear it, and repair faulty toilet parts.
- Commercial plumbing emergencies: Backed-up restrooms, overflowing floor drains, and broken water lines at restaurants, offices, retail stores, condos, and apartment communities. We fix commercial plumbing problems fast so they don’t disrupt business or tenants.
Reviews from Our Tampa Bay Area Customers
Plumbing Emergencies We See Most in Tampa Bay
Slab Leaks: Most homes here are built on a concrete slab, so a leaking supply line can run under the floor for weeks before anyone notices. Common signs include a warm spot on tile, the sound of water running with every fixture off, or a water bill that jumps for no reason.
Aging Cast Iron Drains: Many older homes in neighborhoods like Seminole Heights and South Tampa still have original cast iron drain lines. As they corrode and crack, roots get in and backups follow, often all at once.
Backups During Heavy Rain: Summer storms and hurricane season can push sewer and drain systems past capacity. If drains gurgle or back up during a storm, stop using water and call.
Condos and Businesses: In a condo or high-rise, a leak quickly becomes your neighbor’s ceiling. Shut off your unit and call. For restaurants and commercial kitchens, a backed-up line during service means lost revenue. We work with owners, managers, and associations to fix it fast.
