If you’re unsure, call us — we’ll tell you if it’s urgent and what to do before we arrive.
🔥 Emergency Plumbing & Heating Services
🚨 No Heat / Furnace Not Working
We diagnose and repair furnaces that have stopped heating, are blowing cold air, or keep shutting off.
💦 Burst Pipe Repair
Burst pipes from cold weather, corrosion, or high pressure can flood your home. We shut off the water, repair or replace the damaged sections, and protect the rest of your system.
🔥 Hot Water Tank Leaking / Flooding
A leaking tank can soak your basement fast. We safely isolate the tank, stop the leak, and provide same-day hot water tank replacement.
❄️ Frozen Pipe Thawing & Freeze Damage Repair
We thaw frozen pipes safely (no open flames), repair any cracks or burst sections, and help prevent the line from freezing again.
💧 Sump Pump Failure & Basement Water
If your sump pump fails during a melt or storm, your basement can flood in minutes. We repair or replace sump pumps, fix frozen or blocked discharge lines, and install battery backup systems.
🚿 Sewer Backup & Blocked Main Line
Backed-up floor drains, tubs, or toilets are serious health hazards. We clear main lines, clean up backups, and can camera-inspect the sewer to find the cause.
🛠️ Emergency Leak Detection & Waterline Repair
From pinhole leaks to major failures in walls, ceilings, and mechanical rooms, we find and fix leaks quickly to prevent further damage.
⚡ Emergency Hot Water Issues (No Hot Water)
If your hot water suddenly stops working, it can be an element, gas valve, ignition, or safety lockout issue. We diagnose and repair most hot water tank and tankless problems.
⛽ Gas Leak Repair & Emergency Gas Fitting
If you smell gas or suspect a gas problem, shut things down and call right away. We repair gas lines, appliance connections, and supply lines to furnaces, water heaters, and garage heaters.
🧊 Winter Emergencies
Edmonton winters are brutal, and many emergencies happen when the temperature drops.
- Frozen pipes
- No heat / furnace failure
- Frozen sump discharge lines
- Iced-over intake or exhaust vents
- Freeze damage to copper or Poly-B
We specialize in winter emergency plumbing and heating and know how to protect homes in our climate.
