Anything that poses an immediate risk to your property or health: burst pipes, active flooding, sewage backups, gas leaks, complete loss of water, or an overflowing toilet. If you're not sure — call us anyway. We'll help you figure out the right next step, even if it's not a dispatch.
We give you an estimated arrival time on the call. Response time depends on your location and current call volume, but we prioritize emergencies and do our best to dispatch same-hour for active flooding and sewage situations.
Emergency calls typically involve a call-out fee plus labor, which can run higher after hours due to dispatch costs. Common emergency repairs range from $150 to $600+ depending on the scope. We quote you a range before starting — no work begins without your approval.
After-hours calls do carry a higher rate to cover dispatching outside business hours. We're upfront about this when you call — you'll know the rate before we send anyone out. Many homeowners find the cost of a fast repair far less than the cost of overnight water damage.
For water emergencies: shut off the main water valve and move valuables away from the water. For sewage backups: stop using all drains and toilets. For suspected gas leaks: leave the building immediately and call 911 before calling us. We'll walk you through the right steps when you call.
