Do This Right Now While You Wait
Shut off the water
Main shutoff is usually near the water meter or where the supply line enters the house. Turn it clockwise until fully closed.
Call us
Tell us what's happening. We'll give you an honest timeline and any immediate steps you can take while we're on the way.
Document the damage
Take photos before cleanup. Your homeowner's insurance will want them, and it helps us assess scope when we arrive.
Don't use water anywhere in the house
Running any fixture downstream of the problem can make it worse. Wait until we've assessed the situation.
What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency
If you're not sure whether to call now or wait — here's the guide.
Burst or Burst-Risk Pipe
Active water flow from a broken pipe needs to be stopped immediately. Shut off the main, then call. We prioritize burst pipe calls over standard service.
Sewage Backup
Raw sewage backing up into tubs, toilets, or your basement is a health hazard. Don't run water anywhere in the house — call now.
No Hot Water
A failed water heater gets priority scheduling. Aurora's harder water means sediment-related failures are common — we diagnose same-day and carry common parts.
Major Leak or Active Water Damage
If water is running where it shouldn't be and you can't stop it, shut off the main supply valve and call. Every minute of active flow is more damage.
Frozen or Thawing Pipe
Aurora sees regular hard freezes every winter. A pipe that froze and is now thawing may already have a crack — call before it lets go.
Gas Line Concern
If you smell gas, leave immediately and call 911, then your gas company. Once the gas is off and it's safe, call us for inspection and repair.
Aurora Plumbing Emergencies — What We See Most
Aurora's housing stock spans 70 years — from 1950s Hoffman Heights bungalows to 2020s Southlands new builds. The failure profile varies significantly by neighborhood. In older western Aurora, the calls are usually aging supply lines, cast iron drain failures, and root intrusion in clay sewer laterals. In newer neighborhoods, it's more often water heater failures accelerated by Aurora's moderately hard water, and PRV issues that built up pressure on the system over years.
Aurora Water's supply is harder than Denver Water's mountain-fed system. That mineral content accelerates sediment buildup inside tank water heaters and scale inside tankless heat exchangers. A tank that might last 12 years in Denver can fail at 8–10 years in Aurora — which is why water heater emergencies are one of the most common calls here.
Winter freeze events hit Aurora every year. Pipes in garages, crawlspaces, and exterior walls — common in the ranch homes that make up much of Aurora's older stock — are vulnerable. If you've had a hard freeze and your pressure has dropped or you're seeing wet spots, call before it gets worse.
