Is this a plumbing emergency?
If any of these are happening right now, don't wait — call immediately.
- Water flooding — burst pipe, supply line failure, or water pouring where it shouldn't
- Sewage backup — wastewater coming up through drains, tubs, or toilets (health hazard)
- Gas smell near a water heater or appliance — leave the area first, then call
- No running water at all, or a water heater leaking heavily
- Frozen pipes threatening to burst — King tides and storm surge flood low-lying neighborhoods, backing up drains even without rain.

Serving the Greater Miami Area
Miami, Hialeah, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Miami Beach — and every neighborhood in between. Miami's hurricane season is plumbing emergency season — tropical storms flood streets, overwhelm sewers, and send wastewater backing up into homes. Salt air corrodes outdoor fixtures and water heater connections, and the high water table means any sewer line crack invites groundwater infiltration and backups.
While you wait: shut the water off
- Find your main water shutoff valve — usually near the water meter or where the main line enters your home — and turn it clockwise.
- Turn off your water heater if it's leaking to prevent further damage.
- Keep people and pets away from standing water, especially near outlets and appliances.
- Move valuables and rugs away from the affected area if it's safe to do so.
