Split or burst pipes
A pipe that has split or let go at a joint sends water into walls, ceilings and floors. Say where the water is coming from, and a plumber repairs the pipe or replaces the damaged run.

Emergencies we handle
Sewage coming up a drain
A drain that brings up sewage has a blocked main line behind it. After the plumber clears the blockage, a camera in the pipe can show what caused it.
Overflowing toilets
When the bowl climbs after a flush, the clog is in the toilet or the drain just beyond it. The plumber removes it and tests the drain behind.
A leaking water heater
A tank heater that is wet at the bottom or drips at a connection needs a plumber. Some leaks are repairable, but a tank that has rusted through has to be replaced.
No water after a hard freeze
A frozen pipe may shut off one fixture or the whole house. The plumber thaws it and then repairs any split left by the ice.
What helps on the call
Tell us what you can see. Where is the water, is it clear or dirty, and which fixture or room is involved?
We also ask for the address and a number to reach you. A short, plain description is enough.
Freezing nights in Westminster
Freezing weather is part of Westminster’s year: about 143 days at or below 32°F, and a January low that averages 20°F. Pipes outdoors or outside the heated shell are the ones exposed.
Before the next hard freeze, the pipe freeze risk checker on this site rates your setup from your town’s January low and where the pipes run.
Frequently asked questions
Is an overflowing toilet an emergency?
Not always. One toilet that is clogged but not rising can wait for a normal visit, while water on the floor or a backup in more than one fixture is worth a call right away.
Is a burst pipe a plumbing emergency?
Yes. Water that will not stop, sewage in a drain and no water at all are the clear cases. If you are unsure, call and describe it.
Water that keeps coming or a pipe you cannot trace may be a leak, so the leak finding page, the sewer repair page and the home page are worth a look next.
