Emergency Plumber in Colorado Springs

What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?

A plumbing emergency is any situation where water is actively causing damage to your home, sewage is backing up into living spaces, or you have lost access to basic water service. These situations cannot wait until morning or Monday. Every minute of delay can mean hundreds or thousands of dollars in additional water damage.

Common plumbing emergencies we handle in Colorado Springs include:

• Burst pipes, especially common in Colorado winters when temperatures drop below freezing
• Sewer line backups: sewage coming up through drains or toilets
• Major water leaks that are flooding your basement, crawlspace, or living areas
• Water heater failures with no hot water or active leaking
• Backed-up main drain line affecting multiple fixtures simultaneously
• Broken water supply lines under sinks or behind appliances
• Gas line concerns related to plumbing connections

What to Do While You Wait

While our plumber is on the way, there are a few steps you can take to minimize damage and keep your household safe:

1. 1Shut off the water supply. Your main shutoff is usually near the water meter, in the basement, or in a utility closet. Turn it off immediately if water is actively spraying or flooding.
2. 2Do not use electrical outlets, switches, or appliances near standing water. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination.
3. 3Move valuables, furniture, and electronics out of the affected area if it is safe to do so.
4. 4Take photos and video of the damage for your homeowner's insurance claim before cleanup begins.
5. 5Open windows and doors if safe, to reduce moisture buildup and mold risk.

Why No-Overtime Pricing Matters for Late-Night Emergencies

Most plumbing companies charge time-and-a-half or double for nights, weekends, and holidays. That means a pipe that bursts at 11pm on a Friday could cost twice what the same repair would cost on a Tuesday afternoon. We think that is wrong.

At 719 Plumbing Pro, we charge the same flat rate regardless of when you call. If you are dealing with a burst pipe at 2am on Christmas morning, our price is the same as it would be on any other day. We quote the job before we start, and you approve the price before any work begins. No surprises.

This matters because plumbing emergencies do not happen on a schedule. They happen when you are least expecting them, at the worst possible times. You should not be penalized financially for something that was completely outside your control.
