24/7 Emergency Plumbing in South Jersey

What is considered a plumbing emergency? Any plumbing problem that’s actively causing damage, threatens your health or safety, or leaves your home without water counts. Common signs include water you can’t shut off, sewage where it shouldn’t be, no hot water in the middle of winter, or a pipe that’s already burst. If your sump pumps failed during a storm or you need drain cleaning as part of the fix, contact us and we can handle those too.

Burst Pipes

Burst pipes can cause a tremendous amount of damage. HomeServe can stop the water flowing and perform fast and effective pipe repair.

Severe Drain Clogs

While some plumbing clogs can be fixed with DIY, others are so severe they need professional attention. Our certified plumbers will zero in on the problem and conduct a thorough drain cleaning.

Overflowing Toilets

An overflowing toilet is more than an inconvenience—it’s also a potential health hazard and requires prompt toilet repair. Whether it’s caused by a sewer line blockage, clogged toilet or malfunctioning part, HomeServe will diagnose and fix the issue.

Sewage Backups

A sewer backup is one of the most urgent plumbing emergencies you can face. If wastewater is coming up through drains, toilets, or floor drains, or if you notice a sewage smell in the basement, don’t wait. Sewage exposure is a health hazard and the damage spreads fast. Our team handles sewer line backups, blocked main lines, and basement backups across South Jersey. If your sump pumps failed during a storm or you need drain cleaning as part of the fix, we handle those too.

Broken Water Heaters

Hot water is essential for cooking, cleaning, bathing and more. Our team is well-versed on all things water heater repair and will get your hot water flowing again quickly.

Water Leaks

It doesn’t take much water to do a lot of damage. Count on HomeServe to find and fix the problem fast with our water leak detection and repair.

What Should I Do if I Have a Plumbing Emergency?

If you have a plumbing emergency, there are several steps you can take to minimize damage while you wait for help to arrive. First, turn off water to the appliance or fixture that’s having an issue. If the problem involves an appliance that uses heat or electricity, be sure to turn off the power to the appliance for safety. It’s also a good idea to remove wet furniture, rugs or other items from the immediate area and put them somewhere they can dry. Don’t forget to clean up as much water as possible to prevent it from causing water damage.

Common Signs of a Plumbing Emergency

Not every plumbing issue needs a middle-of-the-night call, but some can’t wait until morning. Watch for:

• Water pooling on the floor or spreading across a room
• A pipe that’s dripping, spraying, or actively broken
• No water coming out of any fixture
• Sewage or foul-smelling water backing up into sinks, tubs, or drains
• A water heater that’s leaking, smoking, or completely out
• Rising water in a basement during a storm with no sump pump running

If any of these sound familiar, call us at 888-246-2610. Our South Jersey plumbers are on call 24/7.

Emergency Plumbing FAQs

Not sure if what you’re dealing with counts as an emergency, or wondering what to expect when you call? Here are answers to some of the questions we hear most often from South Jersey homeowners.

How quickly can an emergency plumber arrive in South Jersey?

When you call our 24/7 line, we’ll dispatch a licensed plumber as fast as possible. Response time depends on your location and current call volume, but our team is on call around the clock across all of South Jersey.

When should I call an emergency plumber?

Call as soon as you have a plumbing problem that’s actively causing damage, creating a health hazard, or leaving your home without water. Burst pipes, sewage backups, major leaks, and total loss of hot water in winter all count.

Is a sewage backup a plumbing emergency?

Yes. Sewage backups pose a real health risk and can spread quickly through your home. If you see wastewater coming up through a drain or toilet, or if you smell sewage in your basement, call HomeServe right away.

Is no hot water a plumbing emergency?

It depends on the season and the cause. A cold shower in July is inconvenient. No hot water in January, or a water heater that’s actively leaking, is an emergency. Our team handles water heater repair around the clock.

Is a leaking water heater an emergency?

Yes, especially if the leak is coming from the tank itself rather than a fitting. A leaking tank can fail suddenly and flood the space around it. Shut off the water supply to the heater if you can, and call us. If you smell gas near the unit, leave the house first, that’s a gas line emergency. In many cases a leaking tank can’t be repaired and will need replacement instead.

Do plumbers work on weekends and holidays?

Our emergency plumbing line is answered 24/7. When you call, you’ll reach a live person any time of day or night, and we’ll get a plumber dispatched as soon as possible.

How much does emergency plumbing cost in South Jersey?

Cost varies based on the nature of the problem, the time of day, and what parts or equipment are needed. When you call, we’ll give you as much detail as possible up front so there are no surprises.
