Comprehensive Emergency Plumbing Solutions

Plumbing emergencies come in many forms, and our team is trained and equipped to handle them all. We have seen every type of plumbing disaster and have the hands-on experience to resolve it quickly and correctly. Our emergency services cover a wide range of critical issues common in Salt Lake City homes and businesses.

• Burst & Frozen Pipes: The cold Utah winters can be harsh on your plumbing. A frozen pipe can quickly lead to a burst pipe, releasing hundreds of gallons of water into your property. We act fast to stop the flow, repair or replace the damaged section of pipe, and provide guidance on preventing future freezes.
• Severe Leaks & Water Line Breaks: A major leak from a water heater, washing machine hose, or main water line is a serious emergency. We specialize in locating and repairing these critical leaks swiftly. Our goal is to protect your property from structural damage and potential mold growth by stopping the water source and implementing a permanent fix.
• Overflowing Toilets & Sewage Backups: A severe clog can cause your toilet to overflow or, in a worst-case scenario, raw sewage to back up into your drains. This is not just a messy inconvenience; it’s a serious health hazard. Our team uses powerful tools like hydro-jetting and professional-grade augers to clear the toughest blockages and sanitize the affected area, restoring safety and sanitation to your home.
• Clogged Sinks & Drains: While a slow drain might seem minor, a complete blockage can bring your kitchen or bathroom to a standstill. If chemical drain cleaners have failed, it’s time for professional intervention. We can quickly clear stubborn clogs caused by grease, foreign objects, or root intrusion without damaging your pipes.
• Sump Pump Failure: During heavy rain or snowmelt, a failed sump pump can lead to a flooded basement in a matter of hours. We can repair or replace your sump pump on an emergency basis, protecting your foundation and basement from costly water damage.

What to Do Before Our Plumber Arrives

Your quick actions can make a significant difference in minimizing damage while you wait for our team to arrive. If you are facing a major leak or burst pipe, follow these steps if it is safe to do so:

• Shut Off the Main Water Valve: Your home's main water shut-off valve is the most important tool you have in a flooding emergency. It is typically located in the basement, a crawl space, or near the water heater. Turning it clockwise will stop the flow of water to your entire home.
• Turn Off the Water Heater: To prevent the water heater from overheating or bursting, turn it off. For an electric heater, switch it off at the circuit breaker. For a gas heater, turn the switch to the "Pilot" setting.
• Manage the Water: If possible, use buckets, mops, and towels to contain the water and remove as much as you can from the affected area. This helps prevent saturation of floors and drywall.
• Open Drains: Place a bucket under any drips and, if the emergency involves a specific fixture, open its faucets to drain any remaining water from the pipes.
• Be Cautious of Electrical Hazards: If water is near electrical outlets or appliances, shut off the power at your home's main breaker box immediately to prevent the risk of electric shock.
