Signs You Need Emergency Plumbing Service Immediately 🚑🚰
Some plumbing problems can wait — others need immediate attention! 🌊 Knowing the difference can save your home (and your wallet) from serious damage.
Here's how to recognize when it's time to stop everything and call in the emergency plumbing pros at Jim Craig Plumbing. ⚡️
🚨 1. Burst Pipes or Major Leaks
Water spraying everywhere? That's a five-alarm emergency! 🚨
Why it’s urgent:
- Can cause structural damage 💥
- Can lead to mold growth within hours
- Increases your water bill dramatically
What to do: Shut off the main water valve and call immediately!
🪽 2. Sewage Smells or Backups
If you smell sewage or notice slow drains backing up, don't wait.
Why it’s urgent:
- Health hazard from bacteria and contamination 🚽
- Can cause serious home damage
- Can indicate a collapsed sewer line
What to do: Avoid using any water fixtures and call emergency services right away.
💧 3. No Running Water
Turning on the faucet and… nothing? That’s a major red flag.
Why it’s urgent:
- Affects your ability to cook, clean, and maintain hygiene
- May signal a serious leak underground or a frozen pipe
What to do: Check with neighbors to rule out a water main break. If it’s just your home, call an emergency plumber.
🌀 4. Overflowing Toilet You Can’t Stop
A plunger can fix small clogs, but if water keeps rising and flooding, it’s go-time. ⚡️
Why it’s urgent:
- Risk of water damage
- Unsanitary conditions
- Possible sewer line problems
What to do: Turn off the water supply to the toilet and call for help immediately.
🚰 5. Water Heater Leaks or No Hot Water
Leaks around your water heater or total loss of hot water need urgent attention.
Why it’s urgent:
- Risk of major flooding
- No hot water = health and safety risk
- Possible equipment failure that needs replacement
What to do: Shut off the water and power to the heater (if safe), and call an expert.
🛡️ Quick Checklist: Is It an Emergency?

- ✅ Is water actively leaking?
