Burst or frozen pipes — Common during Glen Carbon's cold winters; shut off your main water valve and call immediately to prevent flooding and structural damage.
Sewer backups — Multiple drains clogging simultaneously, gurgling toilets, or sewage odors indicate a main line blockage requiring professional attention.
Major water leaks — Ceiling stains, running water sounds behind walls, or skyrocketing water bills suggest hidden leaks that worsen rapidly.
Water heater failures — No hot water, tank leaks, or rumbling noises often mean imminent failure; we repair and replace both traditional and tankless units.
