24/7 Emergency Plumbing
(720) 236-3399
Act quickly to limit damage. Turn off the cold water supply valve on top of the heater. For a gas unit, turn the gas control knob to off or pilot. For an electric unit, switch off the breaker. If water is spreading, connect a garden hose to the drain valve and run it to a floor drain or outside.
Then call our 24/7 line at (720) 236-3399. We will tell you what to check and get a plumber on the way.
A leak from the tank body, a burst supply line or water spreading across the floor is an emergency, because it can damage drywall, flooring and finished basements within hours. A slow drip from the relief valve or a fitting is still urgent, since it can signal high pressure or overheating. When in doubt, call and we will help you decide.
Leave the house immediately, do not flip switches or use your phone inside, and call 911 or your gas utility from a safe distance outside. Once the utility has made the area safe, we can find and repair the gas leak, check the water heater gas valve and venting, and restore service safely.
In many cases, yes. Our truck carries common repair parts, and we can usually source a replacement tank quickly for standard sizes. If your unit cannot be saved, we explain your options, give you a flat-rate price and work to restore hot water as fast as possible, including after hours when it is an emergency.
Most emergencies can be avoided with a little attention. Flush the tank once a year, test the relief valve, replace the anode rod when it is worn and keep an eye out for rust, moisture or noises. Installing a drain pan and an automatic leak detector with shutoff gives you extra protection, especially for heaters in finished basements or attics.
We provide upfront flat-rate pricing on emergency calls too, so you know the price before any work begins. The final cost depends on whether the unit needs a repair or a replacement, and we explain both options so you can make the right decision even in a stressful moment.
