Emergency Plumbing in Lakewood
Burst pipes, sewer backups, no water at all, no hot water in winter. Regular service hours run Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. After-hours service may be available when on-call coverage is available. We do not promise 24/7 because we do not staff 24/7. There are no emergency upcharges either way.
Smell gas right now?
Leave the building immediately. Do not use light switches, phones, or any electrical device inside. Do not start a vehicle in an attached garage.
Call the gas utility emergency line first from outside the building or from a neighbor's location. They are the right first call for a live gas leak.
Once the building is safe and the utility has responded, call us at (253) 386-5365 for any plumbing-side repair.
What We Treat as Emergency in Lakewood
An emergency is something where waiting causes significant additional damage. A leaking faucet that drips into the sink is not an emergency. A burst supply line spraying water into a Lakewood Center kitchen is. Sewage backing up into a finished basement is. No water at all in a house with kids and pets is. No hot water in January when temperatures drop into the low 20s and pipes are at risk of freezing is. Those are the calls we work to fit in around scheduled jobs whenever scheduling allows.
What we do not promise: 24/7 service. Plenty of plumbing companies advertise 24/7 because it sells. We do not staff 24/7 and we are not going to advertise something we cannot reliably deliver. Regular hours run Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. After-hours service may be available when on-call coverage is available, and we tell you straight when it is not.
Lakewood emergency calls we handle
- →Burst pipe with active water flowing into the home: First step is the main shutoff. We talk you through it on the phone if needed.
- →Sewer backup with sewage at fixtures or floor drains: Stop using fixtures, contain damage, get the line cleared.
- →Total loss of water: No water at any fixture means a service-line, main-shutoff, or pressure-side failure.
- →No hot water in winter: Diagnose and repair or replace as conditions allow.
- →Failed shutoff valves: Sometimes the only way to stop a leak is to replace the shutoff itself.
What to Do While You Wait for Help
- →Locate and shut off the main water valve if water is flowing into the house. The main shutoff is usually near where the service line enters the home.
- →For a sewer backup, stop using all water fixtures in the house. Every flush, sink, and shower adds to the backup.
- →For a gas smell, leave the building, do not use light switches or phones inside, and call the gas utility emergency line first before calling us.
- →Call us at (253) 386-5365.
