Plumbing emergencies don’t wait for business hours — and neither do we. At John The Plumber & Drain, our emergency plumbing team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to respond fast to leaks, backups, burst pipes, and other urgent issues across St. Petersburg and all of Pinellas County.
If your emergency started with a clog, consider our professional drain cleaning service. For residential leaks or damage inside your home, we also provide leak detection & repair.
An emergency is any plumbing problem that can cause damage, flooding, or health hazards if left untreated. Here are the most common situations that deserve immediate attention:
Water pouring from pipes, walls, or fixtures can cause structural damage — call immediately.
Pressure issues, freezing, or corrosion can lead to sudden pipe failure requiring urgent pipe repair.
Raw sewage entering your home is a health hazard — often requires sewer line repair & hydro jetting.
Water heater failure leaves you without hot water — see our water heater repair & installation.
Toilet or sink overflows demand fast action and may involve a stubborn clog or pressure issue — see clogged toilet and clogged drain support.
Sudden drops in water pressure can indicate a major leak or supply failure — we diagnose and fix it fast.
Ignoring urgent plumbing issues can lead to extensive water damage, mold growth, and structural problems. Our emergency plumbers act fast, protect your home, and minimize the disruption to your life.
We’re available 24/7 to stop damage before it gets worse.
We explain what we found, what needs fixed, and why — no guessing or jargon.
We present clear choices with honest pricing before we start work.
If your emergency points to deeper problems, we cover everything from drain cleaning to pipe repair.
Our plumbers arrive prepared to fix most emergencies on the first visit, saving time when it matters most.
We serve St. Petersburg and Pinellas County every day, so help is never far away.
If you’re waiting for our emergency team to arrive, these steps can help reduce damage. Safety first — avoid risk wherever possible.
Locate your main shutoff valve and turn off the water to stop further flooding.
Use towels or buckets to catch dripping water until help arrives.
If water is pooling near outlets, keep clear and call for help immediately.
Avoid chemical drain cleaners during emergencies — they can make things worse.
Leaks can affect ceilings, floors, and nearby rooms — note anything that seems unsafe.
Photographs of the damage can help with insurance claims later.
Plumbing emergencies wait for no one. If you’re dealing with active leaks, flooding, or backups, call John The Plumber & Drain right now — we’re open and ready to help.
