Plumbing Problems That Need Urgent Attention

Burst Pipes and Active Water Leaks

A large or uncontrolled leak can damage the surrounding property. Describe where you see water and whether you can safely reach a known water shutoff. If the source is unclear, our water leak detection service can help investigate.

Overflowing Toilets and Sewer Backups

Stop using affected fixtures and keep people and pets away from sewage. Tell us whether one drain or several fixtures are backing up. Review our drain cleaning services for help with blockages; do not keep flushing an overflowing toilet.

Leaking or Malfunctioning Water Heaters

A water heater that is actively leaking needs a different assessment from one that has simply stopped supplying hot water. Describe the leak, equipment type and any unusual symptoms. We service traditional and tankless systems; see our water heater services.

Suspected Frozen Pipes

If a faucet stops flowing during freezing weather, contact a plumber to assess the cause. Do not assume that every loss of water is a frozen pipe. Tell us whether other fixtures still work and whether you see a leak.

Gas Odors Require Immediate Emergency Action

If you smell gas, leave the building immediately and call 911 or your gas utility from outside. Do not operate electrical switches, appliances or the thermostat. Follow National Grid’s gas emergency guidance.

What to Do While Waiting for Help

• If water is escaping and you can safely reach a known water shutoff, close it. Do not enter an unsafe area to reach a valve.
• Keep away from standing water near electrical equipment. Do not touch wet appliances, switches or electrical panels. The American Red Cross warns against touching electrical equipment when wet or while standing in water.
• Stop using fixtures affected by a backup and keep the area clear.
• From a safe location, note when the problem began, which fixtures are affected, and whether you have isolated the water supply.
• Call 911 for an immediate threat to life, a fire or a suspected gas emergency. Plumbing service does not replace emergency responders.

What Information Helps With an Emergency Plumbing Call?

Share your Taunton-area address, callback number and a brief description of the problem. Let us know if water is still running, if several drains are affected, and whether the equipment is accessible. Ask about availability and how the visit and repair recommendation will be handled.

After the Immediate Problem Is Resolved

Ask what caused the failure, what work was completed, and whether further repair or maintenance is recommended. For ongoing care, review our maintenance plan and confirm current coverage for your equipment.
