Being available nights, weekends, and holidays is part of our commitment to the Rogue Valley.
What Qualifies as a Plumbing Emergency?
Not every plumbing issue requires emergency service, and we're honest about helping you determine urgency. True emergencies include burst pipes or major leaks causing active water damage, complete loss of hot water in freezing weather, sewer backups affecting your home's habitability, gas leaks or suspected gas line issues, and water heater problems creating safety hazards. If you're unsure whether your situation needs immediate attention, call us anyway — we'd rather assess the situation and provide guidance than have you deal with preventable damage.
Our Emergency Response Process
When you call with a plumbing emergency, here's what happens: You reach Nathan or Emma directly, not an answering service.

Preventing Future Plumbing Emergencies
Many plumbing emergencies are preventable with proper maintenance and awareness. We help homeowners understand warning signs like water pressure changes, unusual sounds, or small leaks that could indicate bigger problems developing. During emergency calls, we often spot other potential issues and provide honest guidance about what needs attention soon versus what can wait. We're happy to schedule follow-up maintenance visits to address these concerns when it's convenient for you.

FAQ About Emergency Plumbing
How quickly do you respond to emergency calls?
We typically respond to true plumbing emergencies within 1-2 hours in our primary service area of Ashland, Talent, Phoenix, and Medford. Response time depends on our current location, weather conditions, and the nature of other emergency calls. When you call, we'll give you an honest estimate of our arrival time and provide immediate guidance for minimizing damage while we're en route. Our goal is always to get there as quickly as safely possible.
What should I do while waiting for emergency service?
First, locate and shut off the main water supply if you have active flooding or major leaks. For water heater issues, turn off the power or gas supply to the unit. Take photos of any damage for insurance purposes if it's safe to do so. Move valuables and furniture away from affected areas. Don't attempt repairs on gas lines or electrical components. When you call us, we'll provide specific guidance based on your particular emergency situation.
Do you charge extra for emergency service calls?
We believe in transparent, fair pricing even during emergencies. We have an after-hours hourly rate that's competitive with our local area, and we'll explain all costs clearly while we're on the phone with you - before we even leave for your location. You'll never be surprised by hidden charges or inflated pricing because of the urgent nature of your situation. Our emergency pricing reflects the value of having experienced professionals available when you need us most, not an opportunity to take advantage of stressful situations.
What types of plumbing emergencies do you handle?
We respond to all urgent plumbing situations including burst pipes, major water leaks, sewer backups, complete hot water loss, water heater failures creating safety concerns, and gas line emergencies. If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, call us anyway — we'd rather help you assess the situation than risk preventable damage to your home.
Are you available on holidays and weekends?
Yes, plumbing emergencies don't respect holidays or weekends, and neither do we. We provide 24/7 emergency service throughout the year, including major holidays. When you call our emergency line, you reach Nathan or Emma directly, not an answering service. We understand that losing hot water on Christmas morning or dealing with a burst pipe during a holiday gathering requires immediate attention, and we're committed to being available when our neighbors need us most.
