What Is a Plumbing Emergency?
Plumbing systems can face a variety of issues, but whether the situation is an emergency depends on the impact. Common plumbing emergencies include:
- Major leaks like water or gas leaks can come from burst pipes, leaking water heaters, and other sources, but all require emergency repairs to prevent expensive damages.
- Blocked drains can cause overflowing toilets or sinks, reducing functionality and potentially leading to water damage.
- Sump pump failures can cause sewage backup and major flooding in the basement or lower floors, requiring emergency repairs.
- Sewer backups can be caused by a variety of issues, resulting in strong sewage odors and damage to plumbing fixtures or sewer lines.
- No hot water supply can prevent you from taking showers or doing the dishes properly, and is typically indicative of water heater issues.
- Water pressure issues can cause anything from a lack of flow to highly-pressurized streams that damage plumbing lines and fixtures.
- Frozen or ruptured pipes can lead to leaks or a lack of flow, requiring emergency plumbing repairs.
From foul-smelling sewage backups to expensive water damage caused by leaks, you should never wait on emergency plumbing services. Call us today, and we’ll help you determine if you need an emergency plumber.

Why 24-hour Emergency Plumbing Services Matter

Plumbing issues don’t care about your schedule, and to minimize damage, you need emergency services. After all, one burst pipe can cause thousands of dollars in water damage in just minutes. Now imagine that burst happens at 1 am, and your typical plumber doesn’t open shop until 8 am the next day.
Not Waterfront Plumbing. We offer trusted, 24-hour services for a variety of plumbing emergencies. Day or night, you’ll have access to a professional plumber ready to protect your home or business from further damage, costly repairs, or health hazards.
Should I Call The Emergency Plumber?
Not sure if your plumbing problem is an emergency? Ask the following questions:
- Is water or sewage backing up into your home?
- Do you smell gas or hear hissing sounds from gas pipes?
- Is there a major water or sewage leak that won’t stop?
- Has your water heater stopped working completely?
- Are frozen pipes threatening to burst?
- Is your sump pump not keeping up with flooding?
If the answer is yes to any of these, don’t wait — call our 24-hour team right away. Fast action is the key to avoiding further damage.

I’ve always appreciated working with a family business, and we would definitely work with them again. Leticia Ramirez2025-03-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't thank them enough for all the work they did. They helped replace old pipes in the main home and set up new plumbing for our ADU. I called other companies and they were the most affordable, but also got the job done in a timely manner. I haven't had any issues and it passed inspection. Thank you for all your work, will definitely use again. Asako C2024-11-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a hot water pipe leak under our slab and fished around for quotes from a few companies after our initial quote came out to ~$6K. Marco was a referral from a friend and he came out the same day I called him, and came back the next day and completed the work in a few hours! He’s a really nice guy and very knowledgeable. He is also reasonably priced. Could not recommend them more! Mike2024-06-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I asked Marco at waterfront plumbing to come in and snake my drains since I had an emergency with my sewer backup from the toilet. He had his guys come in the next 2 hours of the call, and cleared up my lines. Very happy with the service and comfortable with the pricing.
