Burst Pipes
A burst pipe can dump dozens of gallons into your home in minutes. If you can, shut off the main water valve and call us right away. We work to stop the leak, repair or replace the damaged section, and help limit water damage. Cold snaps in the Pittsburgh area are a common cause, especially in homes with pipes on outside walls.
Frozen Pipes
Frozen pipes are a winter emergency because ice expands and can split the pipe. If a faucet stops flowing in freezing weather, keep a small trickle running and warm the area safely. Never use an open flame. If a pipe has burst, shut off the water and call us. The U.S. EPA notes that freezing pipes in unheated spaces are a leading cause of winter water damage.
Sewer Backup
A sewer backup can send waste into your basement and create a health hazard. Stop using water in the home and keep people and pets away from the affected area. We clear the blockage and help with cleanup. Pittsburgh's combined sewer system, managed by ALCOSAN, can be overwhelmed in heavy storms, which contributes to backups.
Major Leaks
A major leak from a supply line, fixture, or connection can cause fast water damage. Shut off the water at the nearest valve or the main, then call us. We find the source, repair the line, and stop further loss. Even a slow hidden leak can damage floors and walls, so do not wait if you see signs like damp spots or a rising water bill.
No Hot Water
Losing hot water is an emergency, especially in cold weather or for families with young children or older adults. A failed water heater may leak, make odd sounds, or stop heating. Turn off power or gas to the unit if you smell gas or see water pooling, then call us. We diagnose the heater and repair or replace it.
Sump Pump Failure
A sump pump that fails during a storm can flood your basement fast. If your pump stops working, move valuables up and call us. We check the pump, the float switch, and the discharge line. Western Pennsylvania storms can drop heavy rain in a short time, so a working pump matters.

What plumbing services do we offer?
Burst Pipe Repair
We locate the break, stop the water, and repair or replace the damaged pipe. We work on copper, PEX, and galvanized lines common in Pittsburgh homes.
Frozen Pipe Repair
We safely thaw frozen lines, find splits, and insulate at-risk pipes to help prevent a repeat. We can also advise on which pipes to protect before winter.
Emergency Drain Cleaning
Slow or stopped drains can back up into sinks, tubs, and floors. We clear the blockage and help you understand what caused it so it is less likely to return.
Sewer Line Backup
We clear sewer backups and inspect the line for root intrusion or breaks. Tree roots in older clay laterals are a common cause in established Pittsburgh neighborhoods.
Water Heater Repair
No hot water or a leaking tank? We diagnose gas and electric water heaters, repair common failures, and replace units when repair is not the safe choice.
Sump Pump Repair
We repair and replace sump pumps, check float switches, and test discharge lines so your basement stays dry during heavy rain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
If water is flowing, shut off the main water valve. Move valuables and electronics up off the floor, and keep people and pets away from standing water. If the water is near your electrical panel or outlets, do not step in it and call your utility. Then call us at (412) 900-5051.
How do I shut off the main water valve?
The main shut-off is usually where the water line enters the home, often in a basement, crawl space, or utility room. Turn the handle clockwise until it stops, or turn the lever valve a quarter turn so it is across the pipe. If you cannot find it or it will not turn, call us and we can help.
What should I do about frozen pipes?
Keep a small trickle of water running from the affected faucet, because moving water is harder to freeze. Warm the area with a hair dryer or space heater, but never use an open flame or torch. If a pipe has burst, shut off the main water and call us right away.
How do I handle a sewer backup?
Stop using all water in the home, including toilets, sinks, and the washing machine. Keep people and pets away from the affected area, since sewer water can carry germs. Call us to clear the blockage. If the backup affects multiple drains, the issue is likely in the main line.
Is a burst pipe covered by insurance?
Many homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental water damage from a burst pipe, but coverage varies by policy and may not cover the pipe repair itself or damage from a slow, long-term leak. This is general guidance only. Check your own policy and call your insurer to confirm what is covered.
Do you really answer the phone 24 hours a day?
Yes. We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. If you have a plumbing emergency, call (412) 900-5051 any time.
