A split or burst supply line
Water running from a pipe in a wall, ceiling or yard does not stop by itself. A plumber finds the break, repairs or replaces that section of line and checks the connections around it.

These are the plumbing problems where water or waste is already coming out where it should not. They include a split supply line, a sewer line that has stopped carrying waste away and a toilet that spills over.

Problems that count as urgent
Sewage backing up
If wastewater rises in a floor drain, tub or toilet, something is stopping the line further along. The plumber clears the stoppage, then runs a camera down the line when the first fix does not explain it.
A toilet that overflows
A bowl that rises to the rim and spills has a clog in the toilet or just beyond it. Clearing it and testing a flush or two confirms that the fixture drains normally again.
A water heater leaking at the base
Look under a tank heater and find a puddle? The source may be a fitting, a valve or the tank wall. The plumber finds where the water starts, then fixes the part or replaces the unit if the tank itself has failed.
No hot water or no water at all
A heater that stays cold and a tap that gives no water are different faults. The plumber checks the heater, the shutoff valves and the supply line to see where the flow stops.
What to tell us when you call
Tell us where the water or waste is showing up, and which fixtures are affected. It also helps to say whether the main shutoff valve has been found and whether the heater is gas or electric.
After the water stops
Once the immediate problem is handled, a plumber can look at what caused it. A split line can mean other sections are worn, and a backup can point to roots or a break in the lateral.
Frequently asked questions
Is a running toilet an emergency?
No. A toilet that keeps running is a fixture repair, and the fixture repair page covers it. One that spills over the rim onto the floor is the urgent case listed above.
Can a leaking water heater be repaired?
Yes, when the leak comes from a fitting or a valve. Water seeping from the tank itself means the heater needs replacing, and a plumber can tell you which one you have.
Water of unknown source is a job for leak finding. A broken lateral is sewer repair work, and the rest of what we do is on the homepage.
