Plumbing explainer
When to call a plumber at night
Not every plumbing problem needs a plumber at two in the morning. The question is simple: can you stop the damage yourself until daylight, and is anyone at risk if you wait?
- Can the water be stopped?
- Is sewage involved?
- Is there freezing risk?
- Is only one fixture affected?
Questions? Call(365) 517-7215. A plumber picks up, day or night.
- Open 24/7. Phone answered every hour, holidays too.
- Licensed & insured. Trade licence details given on request.
- Shown before cut. You see the fault and the plan first.
- Gas by gas techs. Licensed gas technicians on gas heaters.
Call tonight
- Water you cannot stop, sewage coming up through a drain, a burst pipe in freezing weather, no water at all to the house, or a leak near electrical equipment are night calls.
- So is a water heater leaking steadily where you cannot shut it off.
Usually safe to wait
- A dripping tap, a slow basin, a toilet that runs, or a small leak you can catch in a bucket with the fixture valve closed can normally wait for a daytime visit.
The in-between cases
- When a single valve can isolate the trouble and the rest of the house still works, you can often wait.
- If closing the valve leaves you with no toilet, no water in winter, or a basement still filling, call.
When unsure, phone
- We would rather talk you through it and tell you it can wait than have you guess wrong.
- Many calls end with simple instructions and a morning booking.
Close the main valve first, phone second.
