Symptoms
When to call an emergency plumber
The sewer is backing up
A main sewer backup or overflowing sewer can affect multiple fixtures and create an urgent sanitation problem. Emergency sewer rodding, drain cleaning, or a camera inspection may be needed.
A sump pump has failed
A failed sump pump or sewage ejector pump can leave a basement vulnerable to rising water. Emergency troubleshooting and repair can help address the pump failure.
A water heater is leaking
Water heater leaks and failures can interrupt hot water and allow water to collect around the equipment. Prompt plumbing service can identify the failure and address the emergency.
Our process
What happens during emergency service
-
Describe the urgent problem
When you call, explain what is happening, where the water or backup is located, and whether the problem affects a home, business, or industrial property. This helps identify the type of emergency service needed.
-
Troubleshoot the plumbing
A plumber examines the affected fixtures, pipes, pumps, drains, or sewer connections to determine the source of the failure. Emergency troubleshooting helps separate a local fixture problem from a larger line or main issue.
-
Clear or locate the blockage
Depending on the problem, the work may include emergency sewer rodding, drain cleaning, line breakage location, or a sewer and drain camera inspection.
-
Complete the emergency repair
Alexander Plumbing handles emergency plumbing repairs for leaks, backups, failed pumps, water heater problems, and other urgent plumbing failures affecting residential, commercial, and industrial properties.

Upon hearing my water heater hissing for 20 minutes, I called Alexander Plumbing. They were able to send someone out within the hour to inspect it. Then they were able to replace the water heater early the next morning…

My kitchen drain was backing up and I have long pipes to get to the main stack- Paul was able to get enough length to free up the clog. He also used a chemical to super fulsh the pipes. Great service- Paul was very good…

Pat and Neil are absolutely fantastic. We had a bit of an emergency plumbing issue and they were so calm and informative on the phone. Neil was at our home within an hour and did excellent work! Definitely recommend…
A plumbing problem should
not become a renovation.
If it is safe, close the nearest shutoff valve, move belongings away from water, and tell us exactly what you see.
