When to call
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Not every plumbing problem needs a midnight call-out, but some cannot wait until morning. Use this as a quick guide.
Call right now
- A burst, split, or actively leaking pipe that you cannot stop
- A frozen pipe, whether it has burst yet or not
- Sewage or wastewater backing up into floor drains, tubs, or toilets
- No water at all coming into the house
- A hot water tank that is leaking heavily or has flooded the floor
- A gas smell: leave the building first, then call 911 and your gas utility from outside, then call us
Can usually wait for a scheduled visit
- A dripping faucet or a running toilet (close the fixture supply valve and book a visit)
- One slow drain with no backup into other fixtures
- Low water pressure at a single fixture
- A small leak under a sink that you have contained at the shut-off valve
Not sure which side your problem falls on? Call anyway. We will help you assess it over the phone, and if it can safely wait, we will tell you so.
Before we arrive
What to do while you wait for the plumber
A few minutes of the right action can cut the damage considerably. Do these while we are on the way.
Burst or leaking pipe
Shut off the main water valve, usually where the water line enters the house in the basement or utility room, then open a cold tap to relieve pressure. Stay clear of wet outlets and panels, and if you can reach the breaker without stepping in water, switch off power to the affected area. Photograph the damage for your insurer.
Frozen pipe
Leave the tap open and keep the heat on. Warm the pipe gently with a hair dryer or warm towels, working toward the frozen section. Never use an open flame. If the pipe has already split, shut off the main water valve.
Sewer or drain backup
Stop running water, flushing toilets, and using the dishwasher or washing machine. Keep children and pets away from the area, and do not pour chemical drain cleaner into a backed-up line, because it can splash back and makes the repair harder.
Gas smell
Leave the building immediately without touching any switches, and do not use your phone inside. From outside, call 911 and your gas utility, then call us on 587-777-3164. Do not go back in until a professional has cleared the building.

FAQ
Emergency plumber FAQs for Calgary homeowners
Do you really answer 24/7, including holidays?
Yes. A real technician answers the phone around the clock, every day of the year including Christmas and statutory holidays. There is no call centre and no answering machine.
How fast can an emergency plumber get to my home?
For genuine emergencies we dispatch within the hour anywhere in Calgary and confirm an arrival time before ending the call. We also serve nearby towns such as Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, and Okotoks, and we confirm timing when you call.
How much does an emergency plumber cost in Calgary?
It depends on the problem, the time of day, and what it takes to fix it, so we do not post a single price here. Emergency and after-hours service may be priced differently from standard scheduled work, so ask about the rate when you call. Your technician will explain what the repair involves and what it will cost.
What should I do first if a pipe bursts?
Shut off the main water valve, open a cold tap to relieve pressure, and keep clear of wet electrical. Then call 587-777-3164. The steps above explain what to do while you wait.
Is a clogged toilet or a dripping tap an emergency?
Usually not. If you can close the fixture supply valve and the problem is contained, a scheduled visit is the better value. If sewage is backing up or you cannot stop the water, call us right away.
Is your emergency work guaranteed?
If something we installed or repaired fails because of a workmanship issue, we return to address it at no additional charge, and parts carry the manufacturer warranty. Ask your technician for the specific terms when they quote the job.
