What counts as an emergency

Not everything needs a midnight visit, and we will tell you honestly which one you have when you call.
Gas odor, or sewage in the house
You smell gas, or wastewater is coming up through a fixture and spreading.
Leave the building for a gas odor and call your gas utility first. For sewage, stop all water use. We come out and stop the source.
Right now, 24/7
Water you cannot stop
A burst line, a failed water heater, or a shutoff that will not hold.
We walk you through the meter shutoff on the phone, then get there and repair or isolate the line.
Right now, 24/7
No water, or no working toilet
Nothing at the taps, or the only toilet in the house is out of service.
Same-day on most calls. We find whether it is the meter, the main, the pump or the fixture.
Today
Slow drain or a small drip
One fixture draining slowly, or a drip you can catch in a bucket.
Book it and sleep. We schedule it, clear or repair it, and you are not paying for an after-hours visit you did not need.

Why emergencies cluster here

Storm season
Outages, pressure swings and flooded yards all show up as plumbing failures. Our phones do not go quiet during a storm and neither do we.
Slab construction and clay
A supply line under a slab and a sewer line in moving clay both fail without warning, which is why so many of these calls come in at night.
Attic water heaters
Common in Lafayette and Youngsville builds. When one lets go up there it becomes a ceiling, and every hour counts.

What happens when you call

  1. A person picks up
    Emergencies are answered 24/7. You describe what you are seeing and we tell you what to shut off.
  2. We stop the damage
    First job on site is isolating the water, the gas or the drain so nothing gets worse while we work.
  3. You see the price, then we start
    We diagnose it in front of you and price it in person. The price you approve is the price you pay.
  4. Repaired, tested, cleaned up
    We test the repair, walk you through what failed, and tell you honestly whether anything else is close behind it.

Watch: how it works on a real job

24/7 EMERGENCY SERVICE

Water on the floor at 11pm is still a same-night call.

Emergency questions we get every week in Lafayette and Youngsville

Do you really answer at 2am?
Yes. The line is answered at 2am the same as at 2pm. That is the whole point of a 24/7 line.
Where is my main shutoff?
For most Acadiana homes it is at the meter near the street, under a lid, and it needs a meter key or a wrench. Some houses also have a valve where the line enters the house or near the water heater. Find yours on a calm day, not during a burst.
What does an emergency call cost?
It depends on what failed, which is why we price it in front of you before any work starts. Weekend calls cost what a weekday call costs. Financing is available on larger repairs.
What should I do before you arrive?
Shut the water off at the meter if water is spreading. For a sewer backup, stop using water entirely, do not run the washer, and turn off the air conditioner, because its condensate line drains into the same pipe.
