Common Urgent Plumbing Issues
Knowing when to call immediately versus scheduling routine service can save your property from extensive damage. Contact our emergency line right away if you experience:
Burst or frozen pipes — Lansing's harsh winters can cause pipes to freeze and rupture, especially in uninsulated crawl spaces and exterior walls. Shut off your main water valve and call us immediately to prevent flooding and structural damage.
Sewer line backups — Multiple drains clogging simultaneously, gurgling toilets, or sewage odors indicate a main line blockage. This poses serious health risks and requires professional intervention with specialized equipment.
Water heater failures — No hot water in winter isn't just inconvenient—it can be dangerous for vulnerable household members. Leaking tanks also risk significant water damage if not addressed promptly.
Gas leaks — If you smell rotten eggs or suspect a gas line issue, evacuate immediately and contact your utility company, then call us for safe, code-compliant repairs.
Sump pump failures — With Lansing's clay-heavy soils and spring rainfall, a non-functioning sump pump can lead to basement flooding within hours.
