What Is Considered a Plumbing Emergency That Needs Immediate Attention?

A plumbing emergency is any issue causing active water damage, sewage backup, or loss of essential service that cannot wait. Common examples include burst or frozen pipes, major leaks, overflowing toilets that won’t stop, sewer line clogs/backups, sump pump failures, and sudden water heater failures. We provide 24/7 dispatch in the Dayton area with licensed, drug-tested and background-checked techs and fully stocked trucks for fast service.

Quick steps:

• Shut off the nearest water valve or main.
• Avoid using drains/toilets until we assess.
