Staring at a Burst Pipe?
Burst pipes typically happen in the piping inside the house. This is worrisome for many homeowners because they cannot reach the pipes to stop the leak. This emergency situation calls for a plumber to turn off the water line to the house, open the wall or ceiling, fix the pipe, and then close the wall or ceiling.
While taking care of the problem on the spot isn't always a simple process and can take some time, the alternative is usually worse. Not fixing the burst pipe allows the pipes to leak overnight, causing serious water damage to your walls and/or ceilings.
Is Your Water Heater Broken?
A water heater is a pressurized tank that produces hot water for your sinks and showers throughout the house. However, over time the tank can begin to rust or leak, and when this occurs, it needs to be repaired or replaced immediately. The leaks could lead to the heater rupturing in extreme situations. Our representatives are working around the clock to make sure you always have someone to speak to when these situations come up. The faster your water heater is repaired or replaced, the faster your home becomes safe again.

Have a Severe Water or Sewer Line Emergency?
If you have a sewer backup or water line rupture in your house or yard, you should get professional help right away. Ruptures inside your home can cause serious damage to the structure and should not be taken lightly.
These leaks and breakages need to be fixed immediately because the water can cause damage to your property. Even if they occur outside, they can lead back into the home and may cause flooding. Call a professional sewer line specialist if you notice any leaks or breakage in your water line so that your home doesn't suffer from severe water damage.
Let us solve your plumbing emergencies. We take care of these problems in a timely and professional manner, ensuring that you will be able to get your home functioning normally again in no time.

The Process
What Happens When You Call After Hours
Real human answers
No phone tree, no offshore answering service. A local dispatcher picks up 24/7, asks a few triage questions, and either dispatches a truck or gives honest guidance if it can wait.
Live ETA
You get a real response window and a text when the tech is on the way. Typical response is 60 to 90 minutes in Salt Lake County, 90 to 120 in outlying counties.
Contain the problem first
Tech's first job on-site is stopping the damage — shut valves, cap broken lines, set up containment. Diagnosis and quoting comes after the bleeding stops.
Quote before the repair
Even on an emergency, the price is flat-rate and given before work. You approve before we fix. No 'figure it out later' billing.
Full fix or bridge fix
If we can finish the full repair at 2am, we do. If the full fix needs daylight or a part, we make a solid temporary fix and schedule the permanent one first thing in the morning.
