It can sometimes be difficult to know whether your plumbing needs are urgent enough to call for emergency plumbing services. As a general rule, if the issue is causing flooding or water damage, or it limits your use of important fixtures and appliances within our home, it may constitute an emergency plumbing request. Common emergency plumbing issues we encounter are:

• Cracked or leaking pipe repair
• Ceiling or wall leaks
• Sump pump failure that results in flooding
• Gas line repair
• Burst water heater tanks (or other leaks related to water heaters)
• Main sewer clogs
• Sewage backups

Even if your issue isn’t on this list, or if you’re not sure whether the nature of your plumbing problem is an emergency, give our team of friendly experts a call and we’ll help you decide! If you do have an emergency like one of the issues listed above, our experienced plumbing professionals will be by your side fast to take care of it!

Having a burst pipe is one of the most frustrating things to deal with as a homeowner. If you experience a burst pipe, don’t stress! Just give Len The Plumber a call, and we’ll take care of it. In the meantime, here are some things you can do before one of our technicians arrives:

1. Turn off your water main. Completely switching off your water supply will stop the flow of water coming from your burst pipe. Water mains are typically located in the basement, crawl space, or an area close to your water heater.
2. Drain your faucets – cold taps first. Once your water main has been turned off, open your cold faucets to drain the remaining cold water from your system. This includes flushing your toilets multiple times. If your pipe bursts in the winter months, this will help prevent any freezing and relieve pent-up pressure in your pipes.
3. Turn off heat and drain your hot taps. Next you should shut off your water boiler and heating system, then release the water from your hot water taps.
4. Mop up excess water. Once the water stops flowing, you can focus on cleaning excess water to prevent mold or mildew.

If you need help locating your water main or have others questions while you wait for your plumbing professional to arrive, simply call our friendly customer care experts at (800) 950-4619(800) 950-4619!

There are a number of things that can cause sewage backup in your home. When sewer lines age, they become more fragile and easily susceptible to breaks or collapse. Small cracks can lead to tree root infiltration, which will cause further damage as the roots access plentiful flowing water and continue to grow.

If you notice gurgling, slow drainage, or water flowing upwards in your tub when you flush the toilet, give your local plumber a call right away. Sewage backup should be handled promptly by a professional to ensure that no sewage has entered your home’s forced or central air-conditioning system. The longer that wastewater sits, the higher the risk of illness and severe water damage.
