Arlington Heights Emergency Plumbing

When to Call an Emergency Plumber in Arlington Heights

Some plumbing problems can wait. Others need immediate help. Call Stellar Plumbing, Drains & Water Heaters if you are dealing with:

Burst Pipes

A burst pipe can release water quickly and damage walls, floors, ceilings, and belongings. Shut off the main water valve and call for service.

Severe Leaks

If a leak is spreading, damaging your home, or cannot be controlled, it should be treated as an emergency.

Sewage Backups

Sewage backing up into tubs, toilets, floor drains, or showers is unsafe and should be handled right away.

Overflowing Toilets

If the toilet will not stop overflowing, or if it is the only usable toilet in the home, emergency service may be necessary.

Water Heater Failure

A leaking or failed water heater can create water damage and leave your home without hot water.

No Running Water

A sudden loss of water throughout the home can indicate a serious plumbing problem.

Major Drain Backup

If a clogged drain causes flooding, sewage concerns, or unusable fixtures, call an emergency plumber.

What to Do During a Plumbing Emergency

The steps you take before your plumber arrives can help reduce damage.

1. Shut Off the Water: If water is leaking or flooding, turn off the main water shut-off valve. It may be located near the meter, in a basement, utility room, crawl space, or along an exterior wall.
2. Stop Using Plumbing Fixtures: If you have a backup or major clog, avoid using sinks, toilets, showers, dishwashers, and washing machines until the problem is resolved.
3. Protect Your Belongings: Move furniture, electronics, rugs, and valuables away from water if it is safe. Towels and buckets may help contain smaller leaks temporarily.
4. Call Stellar Plumbing, Drains & Water Heaters: Once the situation is as safe as possible, call us for Arlington Heights Emergency Plumbing. We can help you understand what to do next.
