Signs That You Need Emergency Plumbing Repair

01

Water Leaks

When water starts seeping through your ceiling, dripping down your walls, or pooling under your cabinets, you've got a plumbing emergency. Large amounts of water typically indicate a burst pipe, one of the most common reasons homeowners call emergency plumbers. The real danger isn't just water damage, when water contacts electrical wiring, you're looking at short circuits and potential fires, plus unnoticed leaks create mold and mildew that cause serious structural damage and health risks, so contact James A. Dalelis Plumbing & HVAC immediately.

02
Water Heater Failure

If your water heater is leaking, smells like gas, or simply stopped working, you're dealing with a potentially serious issue that requires immediate professional help. Water heater problems don't fix themselves, waiting only makes the problem worse and more expensive. Reach out to James A. Dalelis Plumbing & HVAC right away for emergency plumbing services.

03
Overflowing Toilets

A severely overflowing toilet creates the same water damage problems as leaking pipes, except it comes with expensive repairs and mold growth that requires extensive remediation. Turn the shut-off valve behind the toilet clockwise immediately, or turn off your home's main water supply if that doesn't work. Once the water is off, call James A. Dalelis Plumbing & HVAC for emergency plumbing services.

How To Handle a Plumbing Emergency

If water is flooding into your home, a pipe has burst, or your drains suddenly stop working, you are likely facing a plumbing emergency. In these moments, staying calm and taking a few fast steps can prevent major damage. Here is what to do right away:

Step 1: Perform Essential Checks
Before calling for emergency help, run through these simple checks to prevent further damage and confirm the issue needs a professional.
Check the Water Supply
Make sure the affected fixture or appliance is not simply running due to a loose handle or faulty shutoff valve. Try tightening the handle or using the fixture’s individual shutoff valve if available.
Shut Off the Main Water Valve
If water is actively leaking, spraying, or flooding, locate your home’s main shutoff valve and turn it off immediately. Most valves are found in basements, utility rooms, or near the water meter. This stops the flow of water and prevents further damage.
Inspect for Obvious Leaks
Look for visible leaks under sinks, around toilets, near the water heater, or along exposed piping. If you see water pooling or dripping, contain it with towels or buckets until help arrives.
Contact Our Emergency Team
Once you have stopped the water flow and checked for immediate hazards, do not stress. Reach out to your trusted emergency plumbing service: James A. Dalelis Plumbing & HVAC in Norwood, MA.

Excellent service. Responded quickly to confirm my appointment and the work was completed quickly the same day. We will be using this company for our yearly heating maintenance.

I had a great experience working with James and his team to install our new boiler and water heater. He worked to understand our needs, gave us solid advice, and provided a competitive bid with no extras or upsells (and no BS!).  His work was very professionally done, and it was obvious that he took great pride in his work and in providing the most useful components. He also took the time to explain the work, how the equipment worked, and made sure the settings were what we we were looking for.  All in all a great experience, and we will be working with him again.

  • Water leaks near electrical sources

If the problem can cause water damage or disrupt essential services, it’s an emergency.

When should I call an emergency plumber?

Call an emergency plumber anytime a plumbing issue is urgent, unsafe, or causing active water damage. If you’re unsure, it’s better to call, quick action can prevent costly repairs. If the situation poses immediate danger, leave the home and call 911 before contacting us.

What do I do if a pipe bursts in my home or business?

If a pipe bursts, act fast to limit damage:

  • Avoid using electrical outlets or appliances near the water.
  • Shut off the closest water valve or the main water supply if needed.
  • If you feel unsafe at any point, leave the building and call 911.
  • Do not try to stop high-pressure water with your hands.
  • Contact an emergency plumber right away so the issue can be repaired quickly and safely.
When are your emergency plumbers available?

Dalelis provides fast-response emergency service. Whether it’s after hours or early morning, we work hard to get a technician out as quickly as possible to stabilize the issue and prevent further damage.

Can emergency plumbing issues wait until morning?

In many cases, no. Burst pipes, major leaks, sewage backups, and loss of water require immediate attention to avoid structural damage and health risks. If you’re unsure, call us, we can help you determine the urgency and guide you through first steps over the phone.
