A: A plumbing emergency includes burst pipes, major water leaks, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, no hot water, gas leaks near water heaters, and any situation where water is actively damaging your home. In Apollo Beach, where sandy fill soil, high water table soil and mixed (canal homes, modern planned communities) foundations make water damage especially costly, we recommend calling immediately rather than waiting. The cost of emergency service is far less than the cost of water damage repair.

Do not use chemical drain cleaners as they can damage cast iron (1970s canal homes, tidal corrosion), PVC (newer) pipes and make the plumber’s job harder. If the issue involves a sewer backup, avoid flushing toilets or running water anywhere in the house. Take photos for insurance documentation.
