Emergency Plumbing
A defined service approach

First, identify the immediate risk.

Burst or leaking pipes, wastewater backups, overflowing fixtures, and failed water-heating equipment can disrupt a property quickly. Tell us what is happening, whether water is still flowing, which areas are affected, and whether there is a safe access route. Dispatch timing is confirmed when you call.

01

Water leaks

Report the location, whether flow is active, and any affected floors or equipment. Stay clear of water near electrical equipment.

02

Drain & sewer backups

Keep people away from wastewater and avoid using affected fixtures while the condition is being assessed.

03

No hot water or leaking equipment

Share the equipment type and symptoms. Gas odors, carbon-monoxide alarms, and other immediate hazards require emergency services first.

Useful questions

Set expectations
before the visit.

General information—not a substitute for the approved scope, equipment instructions, or governing requirements.

240.392.3535
Is a response time guaranteed?

No fixed arrival time is promised here. Call with the address and condition so current availability, priority, and access requirements can be discussed.

Should I shut off the water?

Only use a known, safely accessible shutoff if you can do so without exposure to electricity, sewage, gas, or another hazard. Do not force a stuck valve or enter an unsafe area.

Does the first visit include every repair?

The first authorized scope may be assessment, stabilization, or immediate service. Concealed repairs, utility work, restoration, and additional parts may require separate approval.
