What’s Included in Our Emergency Plumbing Service
When something goes wrong, our plumbers are ready to respond, day or night, to stop the damage and make the repair.
24/7 Emergency Diagnostic & Dispatch
When you call with an active plumbing emergency, we assess the situation over the phone and dispatch a licensed plumber as quickly as possible, day or night.
Burst & Frozen Pipe Repair
Burst and frozen pipes can flood a home fast. We locate the failure, stop the water, and repair or replace the damaged plumbing to get you back to normal.
Water Leak Detection & Emergency Shutoff
Hidden or fast-moving leaks need to be found and stopped quickly. We trace the source and shut off water at the right point to limit damage while repairs are made.
Sewer Backup & Drain Emergencies
Backed-up drains and sewer lines are a health hazard as well as a mess. We clear blockages and diagnose the underlying cause so it doesn’t happen again.
Water Heater Emergency Repair
A leaking or failed water heater needs immediate attention. We repair or replace tank and tankless units on an emergency basis.
Sump Pump Failure Response
A failed sump pump during a storm can mean a flooded basement fast. We repair or replace sump pumps on an emergency basis to protect your home.
Fixture & Toilet Emergency Repair
Overflowing toilets, blown supply lines, and failed shutoff valves are common after-hours calls. We fix them fast to stop water damage.

Enroll in our maintenance program to get priority emergency scheduling, plus proactive checks that catch problems before they become emergencies.

FAQs
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Active flooding, burst or frozen pipes, sewer backups, a failed water heater that’s leaking, and having no water at all are all plumbing emergencies. If you’re unsure, call us. We’ll help you determine urgency and whether you need service right away.
Is emergency plumbing service available 24/7?
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency plumbing service for both residential and commercial clients, including nights, weekends and holidays. This includes our Madison and Sauk Prairie locations. Call your local RHD number and we’ll advise on response time.
What should I do before the plumber arrives?
If you have active flooding, shut off your main water valve if you’re able to locate it safely. Move valuables away from the affected area and avoid using electrical outlets near standing water. We can walk you through this over the phone.
Does emergency plumbing service cost more than standard service?
After-hours, weekend, and holiday emergency calls typically carry a higher rate than scheduled weekday service, reflecting the immediate response. We’ll always give you a clear estimate before starting work, even on emergency calls.
Do you handle both the emergency repair and any related cleanup?
We handle the plumbing repair itself: stopping the leak, clearing the blockage, or replacing the failed part. For water damage mitigation like drywall, flooring, or mold remediation, we can refer you to trusted local partners.
