What Qualifies as a Plumbing Emergency?

Not every plumbing issue needs immediate attention—but some do. If water is actively damaging your home, flooding a space, or creating a health or safety risk, it’s time to call in an emergency plumber. R.J. Tilley Plumbing & Remodeling is available 24/7 to respond to urgent issues before they turn into bigger, more expensive problems.

Here are some of the most common reasons we get emergency calls:

  • Burst pipes – Water gushing from a burst pipe can flood your space, causing damage that escalates quickly. 
  • Sewage backups – Waste flowing back into your home is not only unpleasant but also poses serious health risks. 
  • Overflowing toilets – If your toilet continues to overflow despite your attempts to fix it, it’s time for emergency care. 
  • No water supply – A sudden loss of water can bring your household to a halt and requires immediate attention. 
  • No hot water - A complete lack of hot water can point to a failing water heater or a larger plumbing issue, especially when it happens unexpectedly.
  • Major leaks – Persistent water leaks in ceilings or walls can harm your home’s structure and lead to costly repairs.

If you’re unsure whether your issue is an emergency, it’s always better to err on the side of caution. Our team is here to provide guidance and take swift action to protect your home and restore your plumbing.
