24/7 Emergency Plumbing in Western Washington
Water where it should not be is stressful. Here is what to do right now, and how Pyper fixes the problem so it stays fixed.
Emergency plumbing is our main focus. If water is spreading, sewage is backing up, or you have no water at all, call us any hour. While you wait, the steps below can limit damage. The first move in most emergencies is the same: know where your main water shutoff is, and be ready to turn it off.
We serve Snohomish, Skagit, Whatcom and Island counties. Our goal on an emergency visit is to stop the damage first, then find the real cause and fix it properly, with the right parts and a test, instead of a quick patch. We will explain what we found and what your options are.
Choose your emergency
What is going on?
Burst or frozen pipes
A frozen pipe is blocked by ice, and ice expands, so the pipe can split.
What to doMajor leaks and flooding
When water is pouring from a pipe, fitting, supply line or appliance connection, every minute adds damage to floors, drywall and belongings.
What to doSewer backups
Sewage coming up through floor drains, tubs or toilets means wastewater cannot get out.
What to doClogged toilets
A toilet that will not flush and is rising toward the rim is urgent, especially if it is your only one.
What to doNo water or low pressure
Sudden low pressure or no water can come from a closed or failing valve, a leak, a frozen line, a clogged supply, or a problem with the municipal supply.
What to doWater heater failure
No hot water is an inconvenience, but a leaking or overheating tank is urgent.
What to doDrains that will not clear
A single slow sink is annoying. A drain that will not clear at all, or several drains backing up together, can mean a main line blockage.
What to doBroken water lines
A broken main or service line can flood a yard or crawl space, cut off water, and show up as a soggy patch, a spinning meter or a sudden drop in pressure.

What should I do first in a plumbing emergency?
Shut off the main water valve if water is spreading, then call us. Know where that valve is before you need it. If you smell gas, leave and call 911 or the gas utility instead.
Do you handle emergencies at night and on weekends?
Yes. Emergency plumbing is our main focus and we are available 24/7. Call, tell us what is happening, and we will guide you on what to do while we get to you.
Will you just patch the problem?
Our aim is to stop the damage first, then find the cause and fix it properly with the right parts and a test. We explain what we found and the options, so you can decide.
Will insurance cover it?
We cannot say what your policy covers. Take photos and keep damaged items if you can, and we will explain what we found and did so you have clear notes for your claim.
