Emergency Plumber in Danbury, CT

What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?

Call right away if you have:

• A burst or leaking pipe, or water coming through a ceiling or wall
• Frozen pipes, or no water at the taps in freezing weather
• A water heater that is leaking or flooding
• Sewage backing up into a tub, shower, or floor drain
• A toilet or fixture overflowing and not stopping
• Water pooling around an appliance or fixture you can’t shut off

If you aren’t sure, call. We’d rather you check than wait and deal with water damage later.

What to Do Before We Arrive

A few minutes of prep can save a lot of damage.

1. Shut off the water. Close the valve at the fixture first. If that doesn’t stop it, or you can’t find it, shut off the main water valve for the house.
2. Turn off power near the water. If water is near outlets, appliances, or the electrical panel, shut off power to that area only if you can do it safely. If you’d have to stand in water to reach the panel, don’t. Stay out and call us.
3. Open the faucets. Opening a faucet or two drains the line and takes pressure off.
4. Move belongings out of the way. Furniture, rugs, and electronics near the water.
5. Take photos. They help with an insurance claim.
6. Call (203) 894-2533.

If you smell gas, leave the house and call 911 or your gas utility from outside. Don’t call us first.

Frozen and Burst Pipes in Connecticut

Connecticut winters are hard on pipes, especially in exterior walls, crawl spaces, garages, and unheated basements.

If your pipes are frozen:

• Keep the faucet open so water can flow as the pipe thaws.
• Warm the area with a hair dryer, or a space heater placed safely away from anything flammable. Never use an open flame.
• Shut off the main valve if you find a split pipe.
• Call us if the pipe won’t thaw or you see any cracks or leaks.

To help prevent frozen pipes:

• Let faucets drip on the coldest nights.
• Keep cabinet doors under sinks open.
• Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses and shut off exterior spigots.
• Keep the heat on, even if you’re away.

What Customers Say About Our Emergency Plumbing

Here’s what Danbury homeowners wrote after we showed up for a burst pipe, a leak, or a flooded room.

What We Repair and Replace

Emergency plumbing usually comes down to a handful of parts: supply lines, shut-off valves, water heaters, toilets and fixtures, and the piping behind your walls. We work on the equipment already in your home, and we tell you whether a repair makes sense or a replacement is the better call. Our plumbers also work alongside our HVAC and electrical teams, so a burst pipe that took out a circuit isn’t a second phone call.
