Plumbing emergencies can strike at any time, day or night. At Ace Plumbing & Sewer, we understand the stress and urgency that come with unexpected plumbing issues.
Our emergency plumbing services are designed to provide quick, reliable solutions when you need them most. We’re here to tackle everything from burst pipes to water heater failures, ensuring your home or business gets back to normal as soon as possible.
What Are Common Plumbing Emergencies?
Plumbing emergencies can disrupt your daily life and cause significant damage if not addressed promptly. At Ace Plumbing & Sewer, we’ve seen it all, and we’re here to help you understand and tackle these urgent situations.
Burst Pipes and Water Leaks
Water leaks and burst pipes rank among the most common and potentially destructive plumbing emergencies. Freezing temperatures, high water pressure, or aging pipes often cause these issues. An average household leak can waste up to 10,000 gallons of water per year, with 10% of homes wasting 90 gallons or more per day due to leaks.
If you suspect a burst pipe, turn off your main water valve immediately and call us. Our team will arrive with state-of-the-art leak detection tools to pinpoint the problem and repair it swiftly, minimizing damage to your property.
Clogged Drains and Sewer Backups
Severe clogs and sewer backups pose more than just an inconvenience; they present serious health hazards. These problems often stem from accumulated debris, tree root intrusion, or collapsed pipes. The U.S. has an extensive network of public sewer mains, many of which are aging and prone to issues.
We use advanced techniques like hydro jetting to clear stubborn blockages and restore proper flow. For sewer line problems, our team employs camera inspections to diagnose the issue accurately before recommending the most effective solution.
Water Heater Failures
Picture waking up to no hot water or finding your basement flooded due to a failed water heater. These units typically last 8-12 years, but factors like hard water can shorten their lifespan. Regular maintenance prevents many issues, but when emergencies strike, we stand ready to repair or replace your unit quickly.
Our service vehicles stock a variety of water heaters, allowing us to offer same-day installations when necessary. Our expertise covers both traditional tank and modern tankless systems, ensuring you receive the right solution for your needs.
Frozen Pipes in Winter
Winter brings its own set of plumbing challenges, with frozen pipes topping the list. As water freezes, it expands, putting immense pressure on pipes (both metal and plastic). This pressure can cause pipes to burst, leading to significant water damage.
To prevent frozen pipes, insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas of your home. During severe cold snaps, let faucets drip slightly to keep water moving. If you suspect frozen pipes (no water flow from taps), call us immediately. We use specialized thawing equipment to safely restore water flow and prevent pipe bursts.

What to Expect During an Emergency Plumber Visit
Understanding the process of an emergency plumber visit can help alleviate some of the stress associated with plumbing crises. Here’s a step-by-step guide to what you can expect when you call Ace Plumbing & Sewer for an emergency:
Rapid Response and Initial Assessment
Emergency plumbers typically arrive within 1-2 hours of your call, depending on the severity of the issue and their current workload. They conduct a thorough initial assessment of the situation. This involves identifying the source of the problem and evaluating any immediate risks or damage.
Plumbers use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint issues accurately. For instance, they employ video camera inspections for sewer line problems, allowing them to see inside pipes without invasive digging. This technology helps diagnose issues faster and more accurately than traditional methods.
Clear Communication and Solution Planning
After the initial assessment, plumbers explain the problem in clear, jargon-free language. They educate customers about their plumbing systems, so you understand exactly what’s happening and why.
They then outline the proposed solution, including the steps to fix the issue and an estimate of how long the repair will take. The team provides upfront pricing, so you know the cost before work begins. This transparency eliminates surprises and helps you make informed decisions about your plumbing repairs.
Efficient Repairs and Quality Workmanship
Once you approve the plan, work begins immediately. Fully-equipped service vehicles contain most parts and tools needed for common emergency repairs, allowing completion of many jobs in a single visit.
For example, if you’re dealing with a burst pipe, plumbers can often repair or replace the damaged section on the spot. Plumbers train in the latest repair techniques (such as trenchless pipe repair), which can fix underground pipes with minimal disruption to your property.
Thorough Clean-up and Final Inspection
After completing the repair, the team performs a thorough clean-up of the work area, ensuring they leave your property as clean as they found it – or cleaner.
They then conduct a final inspection to verify that the repair succeeds and that no secondary issues have arisen. For instance, after fixing a major leak, they check surrounding areas for any water damage that might need addressing.
Before they leave, plumbers walk you through what they’ve done and provide any necessary maintenance advice to prevent future issues. They answer any questions you might have about the repair or your plumbing system in general.
Professional emergency plumbing services provide peace of mind and long-lasting solutions to your plumbing emergencies. Try to avoid DIY solutions in emergencies, as they often lead to more extensive and expensive problems down the line.
