Plumbing Emergencies We Handle
Not every plumbing problem can wait until tomorrow. If water is actively leaking, backing up, or causing damage, give Horton Plumbing a call.
Burst & Broken Pipes
A burst or severely damaged pipe can release a large amount of water in a short time. We can locate the source of the problem and determine the appropriate repair.
Major Water Leaks
Whether the leak is coming from a supply line, fixture, appliance connection, or another part of your plumbing system, we’ll work to identify the source and stop the problem.
Water Heater Emergencies
A leaking or failed water heater can quickly create a mess and potentially damage your home. Horton Plumbing can diagnose the problem and determine whether your water heater can be repaired or needs to be replaced.
Overflowing Toilets & Fixtures
An overflowing toilet or plumbing fixture can cause water damage and create unsanitary conditions. If you can’t safely stop the flow, call for emergency plumbing service.
Sewer & Drain Backups
A serious drain or sewer backup can prevent you from using your plumbing and may expose your home to contaminated water. We can evaluate the problem and determine the appropriate repair.
No Water
A sudden loss of water can indicate a problem with your plumbing system or water supply. We’ll help determine what’s causing the problem and what needs to be done.
WHAT TO DO NOW
What Should You Do During a Plumbing Emergency?
If you’re dealing with an active plumbing emergency, a few quick steps can help minimize damage while you’re waiting for help.
1. Shut Off the Water
If you can safely identify the source of the leak, turn off the nearest fixture shutoff valve. For a major leak, you may need to shut off the home’s main water supply.
2. Turn Off Your Water Heater if Necessary
If your water heater is leaking significantly, turn off its water supply. If you have a gas water heater and can safely access the gas shutoff, follow the manufacturer’s or utility’s safety instructions.
3. Protect Your Property
Move belongings, furniture, electronics, and other valuables away from the affected area if it is safe to do so.
4. Call Horton Plumbing @ (423) 219-4254
Once you’ve taken reasonable steps to limit the damage, call Horton Plumbing for emergency plumbing service.
Don’t wait for a small plumbing problem to become a major one.

COMMON EMERGENCY QUESTIONS
Emergency Plumbing FAQs
How quickly can an emergency plumber come?
Emergency response times can vary depending on our current workload, your location, traffic, and the nature of the emergency. Call (423) 219-4254 and we’ll discuss your situation and availability.
Should I shut off my home’s water?
If you have a significant leak and can safely access your main water shutoff, shutting off the water can help prevent additional damage. If you’re unsure where the shutoff is or cannot safely reach it, call for assistance.
