Plumbing emergencies rarely wait for business hours. Our phones are staffed around the clock, and because we're based on 81st Street in East Elmhurst, a technician can usually be at homes near LaGuardia, Jackson Heights and Corona quickly. The first job is always to stop the water; the second is to explain the fix and its price before we start.
Emergency calls often turn out to be a leaking water heater tank or a blocked main sewer line. After the water is stopped, we can check for hidden leaks the incident may have caused. Homes in East Elmhurst and Jackson Heights are closest to our shop.
When to call for 24/7 emergency plumbing
- A pipe has cracked or burst and water won't stop
- Water is dripping through a ceiling, light fixture or wall
- Toilets, tubs or floor drains are backing up with sewage
- You've lost water pressure throughout the house
- A water heater is leaking from the tank
What happens on the visit
- You call — we help you find and close the main valve while a tech is dispatched.
- The technician isolates the problem and checks for hidden damage.
- You receive a flat, written price and decide how to proceed.
- We repair, test under pressure and leave the area clean and dry.
How is emergency plumber priced?
You get one flat, written price after we diagnose the problem. These factors have the biggest effect on it:
- How urgent the visit is and what time you call
- Whether the damaged pipe is exposed or hidden behind finishes
- Parts required — valves, fittings, pipe sections or a new heater
- Any cleanup or wall access needed once the leak is stopped
Tips to avoid the next repair
- Test your main shut-off once a year so it works when you need it
- Wrap pipes near outside walls and in cold crawl spaces before December
- Swap rubber washer hoses for stainless braided ones
- Leave heat on (55°F or more) if you travel in winter
