What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?
Not sure if your situation is urgent enough to call? Here’s a simple rule: if water is actively going somewhere it shouldn’t, or if you’ve lost water entirely, it’s an emergency. Call us.
Common plumbing emergencies we handle in Ogden:
Burst or leaking pipes — A burst pipe can dump hundreds of gallons into your home in minutes. Shut off your main water valve immediately, then call us. We’ll get there fast and stop the damage.
Sewage backup — If sewage is coming up through a floor drain, toilet, or tub, stop using all water in the house immediately. This is a health hazard and needs same-day attention.
Water heater failure — A leaking water heater tank, gas smell near your water heater, or complete loss of hot water all warrant an urgent call. A leaking tank cannot be repaired and needs to be replaced before it causes water damage.
Overflowing toilet — If your toilet won’t stop running or is overflowing, turn off the shut-off valve behind the toilet. Then call us.
No water at all — Sudden loss of water pressure or no water coming from any fixture can signal a water main line break, a failed pressure regulator, or a serious internal leak. Don’t wait on this one.
Gas smell near plumbing — If you smell gas, leave the home and immediately contact the gas company, or depending on the severity, the fire department, and contact us. Safety is paramount.
What to Do Before We Arrive
When you have a plumbing emergency, these steps can limit damage while you wait for us:
For leaks and burst pipes: Locate your main water shut-off valve (usually near your water meter or where the main line enters your home) and turn it off. This stops water from flowing into the leak. If you cannot locate your shut off, contact your city water department and have them shut off your water service. This is an emergency service they provide.
For water heater leaks: Turn off the cold water supply to the water heater (the valve on top of the unit) and turn the thermostat to “pilot” or shut off the gas/electric supply.
For sewage backups: Stop using all water in the house like flushing toilets, running sinks, doing laundry. Every gallon used pushes more sewage up.
For overflowing toilets: Turn the shut-off valve clockwise behind the base of the toilet. Don’t keep flushing.
Document the damage: If there’s water damage, take photos before cleaning up. This helps with insurance claims.
Then call us at (801) 837-6622. Our answering service is live 24/7 and will connect you with scheduling immediately.
