Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do first during a plumbing emergency?

Shut off the water. For a fixture, use its local shutoff valve; for a major leak or burst pipe, close the main shutoff where water enters the home. If you smell gas, leave immediately and call from outside. Then call us and we will respond fast.

Do you really answer calls 24/7 in the Charleston area?

Yes. Burst pipes, sewage backups, and water heater floods do not wait for morning, and neither do we. Because we are local to Mount Pleasant and Charleston, we can respond quickly any hour rather than leaving you waiting while damage spreads.

Is a slow leak really an emergency?

It can become one fast. In Charleston’s humidity, even a small ongoing leak can rot framing and grow mold within days. If you cannot stop it or it is actively causing damage, treat it as urgent and call us rather than waiting and risking a bigger repair.

Do you have a 24 hour plumber in Charleston, SC?

Yes. Our emergency line is answered around the clock, and we dispatch licensed plumbers day or night across Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, Isle of Palms, Sullivan's Island, James Island, West Ashley and Folly Beach. Call 843-990-6524 and a real person will pick up.

How fast can an emergency plumber reach Mount Pleasant?

We are based in Mount Pleasant, so we are often close by rather than driving in from across the region. While you wait, we will talk you through shutting off the water or gas to limit the damage. For calls in Charleston and the islands, response is still same-day and usually much sooner for an active leak or backup.

What counts as a plumbing emergency?

A burst or frozen pipe, sewage backing up into the house, a water heater leaking or flooding, a leak you cannot stop at the shutoff, no water to the whole house, an overflowing toilet, or the smell of gas. If you smell gas, leave the house first, call the gas utility or 911 from outside, and then call us. If you are unsure whether it is an emergency, call anyway; we would rather tell you it can wait than have you wait too long.
