24-Hour Emergency Plumbing Services in the Denver Metro and Surrounding Areas

Below are some of the issues that call for an emergency plumbing service: 

• Drain and Sewer Backups: A backed up sewer or drain is not only inconvenient, but it can also cause quite a mess and needs immediate attention by a trained technician. Our technicians are available 24/7 to address these issues and get you back up and running in no time.
• Clogged Toilets: When a clogged toilet causes an overflow and plunging doesn’t do the trick, our plumbing experts can check out the cause of the clog and fix it. Call us as soon as possible to avoid destruction of property. Likewise, call us when you have leaky toilets. Both of these situations can cause unhealthy and unhygienic conditions, so don’t wait to get help.
• Leaky or broken pipes: when you have a leaking or broken pipe it could potentially worsen and cause greater damage leading to costly restoration repairs.
• Frozen pipes: During the winter season, pipes are in danger or freezing. Frozen pipes are more likely to burst and cause a lot of water damage, so be sure to call us as soon as you notice any issues. We have the necessary equipment to address the problem and a solution for avoiding the same problem in the future.
• Water heater replacement & repair: An improperly working water heater is definitely a plumbing emergency! Call a professional plumber if you notice discoloration of the water, an awkward smell when water runs, or the absence of hot water. We run tests to identify the issue and will repair or recommend replacing depending on the issue.

How Do You Know if You Have a Plumbing Emergency?

Identifying the early signs of a plumbing problem will help you address the issue before it becomes a much worse situation. Book an immediate appointment with our emergency plumbers if you notice any of the following:

• Rotten egg smell: The smell of rotten eggs occurs when the seal of a pipe breaks and allows the gas to penetrate. The released gas contains hydrogen sulfide, which may cause nausea. Our professional plumbers will inspect all the vents to repair the affected area.
• Slow drains: Sewer drains take time to block completely. A professional plumber will use a pipe camera to locate the exact issue causing the sewer drain blockage and clear it.
• Sinkholes: Most sinkholes usually occur unexpectedly. However, if you notice the presence of greener or wetter areas of grass, it’s a good idea to have a plumber check it out.

Fast Response for All Your Plumbing Emergencies

It’s important to take care of these emergencies promptly to avoid high plumbing repair costs later on. Some plumbing emergencies will cause property damage that may require a restoration company to remediate. You can do your part o prevent plumbing emergencies by practicing the following:

• Regularly monitor your plumbing system: most people ignore regular monitoring until they become plumbing emergencies. Our experts can monitor and point out issues arising. The cost of repairing a minor problem is almost always less than that of a full-blown emergency.
• Do not use chemicals to unblock your sink or toilet: chemical can be harmful to the plumbing system in any home. Avoid using them at all times.

What to Do While Waiting for an Emergency Plumber

Dealing with plumbing emergencies can be overwhelming and stressful, and you may panic, especially if excessive water damage occurs. You should call an emergency plumber ASAP and while waiting for help, follow the steps below:

Turn Off the Water

Before calling a 24-hour plumber, shut off the water to help prevent further damage to your home or business. Water can impact the foundation and damage appliances. Find the shut-off valve closest to where the leak is occurring and turn it off.

Clean the Area 

Before cleaning, turn on the faucets to drain all the water out of the pipes (after you’ve shut the water valve off). If the water heater leaks, drain the tank to prevent further damage. Use a mop and bucket to help clear all standing water. Ensure all areas are dry to prevent mold growth. Consider turning on a fan and opening all windows and doors.

Remove Furniture, Appliances and Other Belongings From Wet Areas

Move any furniture, unplugged electronic devices and other items to a dry area. You may want a professional to inspect any electronic devices that are wet. Take before and after photos in case you need to file a water damage claim.
