Emergency Plumbing

Burst pipes, flooding, no water or no hot water. Call and we'll get a plumber headed your way.

What It Is

Emergency plumbing is the work that can't wait for a convenient day: water where it shouldn't be, no water where it should be, or a failed water heater. Our first job is to stop the damage, then we make a lasting repair.

Signs You Need It

  • Water spraying or pouring from a pipe or fitting
  • Water on the floor, through a ceiling or down a wall
  • No water at any faucet in the house
  • Sewage coming back up through a drain

What To Expect

Call 803-600-4357 and tell us what you're seeing. We'll walk you through shutting off the water if it's safe to do so, send a plumber, stop the leak, and explain the repair options before any work starts.

  • Spray of water coming out of a pipe

    Burst & Broken Pipes

    A split pipe can put a lot of water into a home very quickly. We stop the flow, cut out the damaged section and replace it with new pipe so the line is solid again.


    What's included

    • Help locating and closing your main shutoff
    • Locating the break
    • Cutting out and replacing the damaged section
    • Restoring water and checking for further leaks

    Common signs you need this

    • Water spraying or pouring from a pipe
    • A sudden drop in water pressure
    • The sound of running water when nothing is on
  • Door standing in a pool of floodwater

    Major Leaks & Water in the House

    When water is pooling on the floor or coming through a ceiling, the source needs to be found fast. We trace the leak, stop it, and repair the line or fixture that failed.


    What's included

    • Tracing the source of the water
    • Shutting down the affected line
    • Repairing the failed pipe, valve or fixture
    • Testing the repair under normal pressure

    Common signs you need this

    • Standing water on floors
    • Water stains spreading on a ceiling or wall
    • Dripping from light fixtures or vents
  • Close-up of a shower head in a bathroom

    No Hot Water

    A water heater that quits or starts leaking from the tank needs attention right away. We find out why it stopped, repair it when that makes sense, and tell you plainly when it's time to replace it.


    What's included

    • Diagnosing gas and electric water heaters
    • Checking burners, elements, thermostats and valves
    • Shutting down a leaking tank safely
    • Repair or replacement options explained on site

    Common signs you need this

    • Showers running cold
    • Water pooling around the base of the tank
    • Popping, rumbling or a burning smell from the unit
  • Open tool bag packed with hand tools

    No Water to the House

    If nothing comes out of any faucet, the problem could be a main line, a valve, or a well pump. We work through the system until we find it and get water flowing again.


    What's included

    • Checking the main shutoff and supply valves
    • Inspecting the water service line
    • Testing the well pump and pressure tank on well homes
    • Repairing the failed part

    Common signs you need this

    • No water at any faucet
    • Sputtering faucets with air in the lines
    • Water that comes back for a moment, then stops
