What to do in a plumbing emergency — right now
A plumbing emergency is any situation where water or sewage is actively causing damage that gets worse with every minute you wait. Burst pipes, major leaks under slabs or inside walls, sewage backing up into the home, or a complete loss of water supply all qualify. If you’re on this page, you probably already know something is very wrong.
The first thing to do is shut off water to the affected area — the isolation valve under a sink or behind a toilet, or the main shutoff at the meter if you can’t isolate the source. Then call our 24/7 emergency line at (561) 269-4831. A licensed plumber answers directly; we dispatch to Palm Beach County within minutes and give you a real ETA, not a four-hour window.
Palm Beach Flow Plumbing is a licensed, insured Florida plumbing contractor. We quote the repair before we start — upfront pricing is a non-negotiable on every job, emergency or not. If we can’t fix it for the price we quote, we’ll tell you that before we proceed.

Which plumbing emergencies need an immediate call?
Not every plumbing problem is an emergency — but some cannot wait. Here is how to read the situation and decide whether to call the 24/7 line right now or schedule a next-day visit.
| Situation | Call 24/7 now? | First step |
|---|---|---|
| Burst or ruptured pipe (active water spray) | ✓ Yes — call immediately | Shut off the nearest isolation valve or main shutoff |
| Sewage backup into floor drains, tubs, or toilets | ✓ Yes — health hazard | Stop all water use; call the 24/7 emergency line |
| No water in the whole house (possible main-line break) | ✓ Yes — may be actively damaging | Check neighbors; if isolated to your home, call now |
| Water heater actively flooding the floor | ✓ Yes | Shut cold-water inlet valve on tank top; call immediately |
| Slow drip from a fitting or supply line you can isolate | Schedule same-day or next-day | Close the isolation valve; call for a scheduled repair |
| Running toilet or slow drain with no flooding | Schedule within a few days | Call during business hours for a non-emergency appointment |
How our emergency response works
When you call our 24/7 emergency line, here is exactly what happens — no hand-offs, no call centers, no waiting until morning:
- A licensed plumber answers. You speak directly with a Palm Beach County plumber, not an answering service. We ask a few quick questions to understand what’s happening and whether you need to shut water off immediately while we drive.
- We dispatch and give you a real ETA. Our goal is 60–90 minutes to most Palm Beach County addresses. We text you the plumber’s name and ETA so you’re not guessing.
- We diagnose on arrival. We locate the failure, assess the extent of damage, and identify the repair required — typically within 15 minutes of arrival.
- We quote before we start. You get the exact repair price — parts and labor — before we turn a wrench. Emergency service fees are disclosed on the phone before dispatch. No surprises.
- We repair and test. We complete the repair, restore water supply, and test under operating pressure before we leave. We’re not done until the system is working and dry.
- We document and advise. We photograph the failure, the repair, and the test, and we advise on any follow-up work — repipe, sewer inspection, or water-heater replacement — if the emergency reveals a larger issue.
Plumbing emergency in Palm Beach County? Our licensed plumbers answer 24/7 — burst pipes, sewage backup, major leaks, or no water.

Every hour of uncontrolled water or sewage intrusion compounds the damage. A burst pipe that soaks drywall, insulation, and subfloor overnight becomes a mold remediation project on top of a plumbing repair. A sewage backup left until morning releases pathogens into the living space and can trigger health-department requirements. A slab leak that runs all night can undermine the foundation.
The math is straightforward: calling our 24/7 line at 2 a.m. costs an emergency service fee. Waiting until 8 a.m. can cost tens of thousands in water damage, mold remediation, and structural repair — much of which your homeowner’s policy will only cover if you took reasonable steps to mitigate. “We waited until morning” is not a mitigating step. We are. Call us.
We serve all of Palm Beach County — West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Wellington, Lake Worth Beach, and surrounding communities — with 24/7 emergency dispatch. For scheduled service, see our plumbing repair, leak detection, and sewer line pages.
