What Is Considered An Emergency Plumbing Service Call?

An emergency plumbing service call is any issue that threatens immediate water damage, health hazards, or loss of essential service and requires a plumber right away. Most emergencies start with sudden, uncontrolled water flow or wastewater backing up into living spaces. A quick shutoff at the main often limits damage before tools ever come out. Our team handles these calls around the Longmont area daily, with 24/7 response from Fix-it 24/7.

Common emergency examples include:

  • Burst or frozen pipes with active leaking
  • Sewer backups or overflowing toilets involving sewage
  • Water heater failures, especially leaking tanks or no hot water with flooding risk
  • Gas line leaks or damage

If it’s safe, turn off the main water valve and power to affected equipment, then call for 24/7 help.
