Split or burst pipes
Water spraying from a supply line or running through a ceiling is an emergency. Plumbers cut out the damaged section, replace it and check the lines either side.
Emergency Plumbing in Troy
Leave water through a ceiling, a toilet spilling over or sewage in a drain until morning and the damage grows. Phone us with what is happening and your address.
We take emergency calls for homes in Troy and six other towns, and we pass you to a plumber who can handle the problem.
Emergencies we handle
Sewage coming up a drain
Sewage backing up through a tub, shower or floor drain tells you the main line has stopped. The plumber opens it and puts a camera inside to find the reason.
Overflowing toilets
If a toilet fills toward the rim after you flush, the clog may be farther along in the drain. We clear the toilet, then check whether the line beyond it is also blocked.
A leaking water heater
A wet floor under the tank might trace back to a fitting, the relief valve or a hole in the tank itself. The plumber finds which, then repairs the heater or fits a new one.
No water after a hard freeze
A frozen pipe can split as it thaws. Plumbers thaw the line, look for splits and repair what the ice damaged.
What to tell us on the call
Tell us where the water is coming from, which room it is in and how fast it is spreading. Those details help us match the right plumber to the problem.
Give us your address and a callback number too, so nothing is lost if the call drops.
Cold nights in Troy
In Troy a typical January night is 20°F, and some 123 days each year drop to 32°F or lower. A garage or crawl space pipe may freeze and split, then leak when it warms up.
Our pipe freeze risk checker shows how exposed a pipe is.
Frequently asked questions
Is a burst pipe an emergency?
Yes. Water that keeps running soaks floors and walls, so call right away.
Can you help if I am not sure what is wrong?
Yes. Tell us what you see, hear or smell when you call, and we work out the next step with you.
With the water shut off, the next step may be a leak finding visit or a sewer repair, and the homepage has the rest of our work.
