Plumbing emergencies rarely wait for a weekday morning. A pipe bursts at night, or sewage backs up on a holiday. You need someone to answer the phone and tell you what to do next.
Not every problem is an emergency. These are the ones that should not wait until morning.

South Sound winters are mild most years, but cold snaps happen. Pipes in crawlspaces and outside walls are most at risk, and many older homes in Tacoma, Lakewood and Federal Way have crawlspaces. A frozen pipe can split, then leak once it thaws.
Wet winters soak the soil, and big trees send roots into old sewer joints. In older parts of Tacoma, Puyallup and Olympia, a main line can back up without warning. If sewage comes up a drain, stop running water and call.

In many South Sound homes it is where the water line enters the house, often in a crawlspace, garage, basement or near the water heater. Some homes also have a valve at the meter by the street. Find it now and make sure it turns, before you need it.
Water you cannot stop, sewage coming up a drain, no water in the house, a frozen pipe in a cold snap or a water heater pouring water. If water is damaging your home or you cannot use your toilets, it is worth a call any hour.
Open the faucet so melting water can flow. Warm the pipe with a hair dryer or space heater kept at a safe distance. Never use an open flame. If you cannot find the frozen spot, or the pipe has split, shut off the water and call us.
Stop running water anywhere in the house, including toilets, sinks and the washer. Keep kids and pets away from the area. Then call us. A backup usually means the main sewer line is blocked, and every drop you send down adds to the mess.
