What to Do While You Wait for Us

Don’t panic. Follow these steps to protect your home in the 45–60 minutes before we arrive:

1

Shut Off the Water

Find your main water shut-off valve (usually near the street or where the main line enters the house) and turn it clockwise.

2

Turn Off the Water Heater

If you’ve shut off the main water, turn off the power (at the breaker) or gas to your water heater to prevent it from burning out.

3

Open Outdoor Spigots

This helps drain the remaining water out of your pipes and away from the leak.

4

Clear the Area

Move furniture, rugs, or electronics away from the water to prevent further damage.

Why Jacksonville Emergencies Are Different

Jacksonville’s unique environment often dictates the type of emergencies we see. Our high water table, especially in areas near the St. Johns River or Pumpkin Hill (32226), means that a small leak can quickly lead to major foundation issues or mold growth in Florida’s humidity.

Furthermore, our “extremely hard” water (15.3 grains per gallon) leads to sudden sediment “avalanches” inside older water heaters, causing them to burst without warning. Whether you’re in a historic 1920s bungalow in Riverside (32205) or a newer build in Bartram Park (32258), we arrive with the specific parts needed for Jax-specific plumbing systems.

Emergency Plumbing FAQs

Do you charge extra for emergency calls in Jacksonville?

We provide upfront pricing even for emergency services. While emergency dispatch fees may apply for after-hours or holiday calls, you will always receive a total price for the repair before we start the work. No surprises — ever.

How far do you travel for emergency plumbing?

We serve the entire Jacksonville metro area, including all zip codes from 32233 (Atlantic Beach) to 32073 (Orange Park) and down to 32259 (St. Johns). If you are in the 904, we’ve got you covered.

Can I text you a photo of my plumbing emergency?

Yes! In fact, we recommend it. Texting a photo of your leaking pipe or water heater to allows our technicians to identify the necessary parts before they even leave the shop, saving you time and money.
