Burst and split pipes
When a pipe splits inside a wall, ceiling or floor, water keeps coming until the line is closed off. The plumber shuts it down, cuts a small access, and fits a new piece where the old one failed.

Problems that count as an emergency
Sewage backing up
Wastewater rising in a tub, a floor drain or a basement fixture means the line is blocked somewhere. The plumber clears the stoppage and, if a break is behind it, scopes the line.
Toilets that overflow
A toilet that keeps running over, or one that will not flush at all, is cleared and tested so it can be used again without soaking the bathroom floor.
Leaking water heaters
Water creeping across the floor beside a tank heater may be a dripping connection or a failing tank. Finding out which comes first, then the plumber tightens, repairs or replaces.
Frozen supply lines
Ice in a supply pipe can leave a faucet dry on a freezing morning. The plumber thaws the pipe, checks it for splits, and turns the water back on only when the pipe holds.
Winter in New Rochelle
Cold arrives early in the plumbing of a New Rochelle house, with January lows near 26°F and roughly 77 days at 32°F or below in an average year. Garage, attic and outside-wall pipes face it first.

Frequently asked questions
Does a burst pipe count as an emergency?
Yes. Water running into a wall or ceiling keeps doing damage until it is stopped, and a call gets a plumber working on it.
Can I call about a sewer smell?
Yes. A smell from a basement drain can have several causes, and the plumber can look at the drains and at the sanitary caps on the main trap.
When you cannot see where a leak starts, leak detection is the place to begin, and a failed house sewer is sewer repair. Our other services are on the homepage.
