Call Now. We're Ready to Roll.
When water is flooding your basement, sewage is backing up into your home, or you smell gas, you need a plumber who picks up the phone. We offer 24/7 emergency plumbing service for homeowners and businesses throughout Southern Indiana and the Louisville metro. Fully stocked trucks, fast response, and a team that shows up ready to work no matter the hour. Call (502) 435-6389 right now.
Plumbing Emergencies Don't Wait, and Neither Do We
A burst pipe at midnight, a sewer backup on a Sunday morning, a gas smell while you’re cooking dinner. These are the calls where timing matters. Waiting until Monday can mean water damage, health hazards, or worse.
We’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays and weekends. When you call, you reach our team directly. No answering services, no national call centers. We dispatch from Jeffersonville, Indiana, and respond to Clark County, Floyd County, Harrison County, and the greater Louisville metro.
Our trucks are stocked with the parts and tools to handle most emergency repairs on the spot. We show up, protect your home with tarps and shoe covers, diagnose the problem, and get to work. You’ll know what’s going on and what it costs before we start.
What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency
Burst or Gushing Pipe
A burst pipe can dump gallons of water per minute into your home. Shut off the main water valve if you can reach it, then call us immediately. We carry pipe repair fittings and can stop the flow fast. If the pipe needs full replacement or repiping, we’ll walk you through options.
What to do: Turn off the main water valve. Call (502) 435-6389.
Sewage Backing Up Into Your Home
Raw sewage coming up through drains, toilets, or floor drains is a health hazard. Do not try to clean it yourself until the backup is stopped. We clear the blockage and determine whether it’s a clog or a damaged sewer line causing the problem.
What to do: Stop using water in the house. Call us immediately.
Gas Smell in Your House
If you smell rotten eggs or gas, leave the house immediately. Do not flip light switches, light matches, or use electronics near the source. Call your gas utility from outside, then call us. We locate and repair gas line leaks once the utility clears the area.
What to do: Leave the house. Call your gas company, then call us.
No Water at All
A sudden loss of water pressure or no water from any faucet usually means a break in your main water line. Check with neighbors to rule out a city shutoff, then call us. We locate the break and get water flowing again.
What to do: Check if neighbors have water. Call us if it’s just your home.
Toilet Overflowing and Won't Stop
An overflowing toilet can cause water damage fast. Turn off the water supply valve behind the toilet (turn clockwise). If it won’t shut off, turn off the main water valve. Then call us to clear the blockage and fix the mechanism.
What to do: Shut off the valve behind the toilet. Call us.
Basement Flooding From a Failed Sump Pump
In the Ohio River valley, heavy rain and high water tables can overwhelm a failing sump pump. If your basement is taking on water and the pump isn’t running or can’t keep up, call us. We repair and replace sump pumps with same-day service when parts are available.
What to do: Unplug electronics near the water. Call us for sump pump service.

Why Call Us for an Emergency
- We Actually Answer the Phone
When you call (502) 435-6389, you reach our team. Not a voicemail, not a call center in another state. We take your call, assess the situation, and dispatch. Day or night.
- Our Trucks Are Always Ready
We keep our trucks fully stocked with common repair parts, fittings, pipe materials, drain equipment, and water heater components. That means most emergencies are resolved the same visit without waiting for parts.
- We Treat Your Home Like Our Own
Even during an emergency, we lay tarps, wear shoe covers, and clean up after the job. The situation may be urgent, but that doesn’t mean your home should suffer more damage from the repair process.
- You Know the Cost Before We Start
Emergency doesn’t mean blank check. We diagnose the problem, explain what needs to happen, and give you upfront pricing before turning a wrench. You approve the work, then we get it done.
- Licensed, Bonded, Insured, and Local
We’re based in Jeffersonville, Indiana, with an Indiana Master Plumber license and three decades of experience. You’re not getting a random contractor from a dispatch app. You’re getting a licensed professional who lives and works in your community.
What to Expect When You Call
Step one: call (502) 435-6389. Tell us what’s happening. We’ll walk you through any immediate steps you can take (shutting off water, leaving the house for gas leaks) while we get a truck headed your way.
Step two: We arrive, assess the situation, and protect the area. We diagnose the problem and explain what we need to do. You get upfront pricing before we start any work.
Step three: We repair. Most emergency calls are resolved on the same visit. If the situation requires a bigger project (like a sewer line replacement or excavation), we stabilize the immediate problem and schedule the follow-up work at a time that works for you.
Step four: we clean up, walk you through what we did, and make sure everything is working before we leave. If the repair includes warranty-eligible work, we’ll let you know the coverage details.

Do you charge extra for after-hours calls?
Service fees may reflect the time of day and travel distance. We always provide upfront pricing before starting work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No surprises.
How fast can you get to my home?
Response time depends on your location and current call volume. We dispatch from Jeffersonville and serve Clark, Floyd, Harrison, and surrounding counties. We’ll give you an honest arrival estimate when you call.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
Shut off the water at the main valve if there’s a leak or overflow. For gas smells, leave the house and call your gas utility first. For sewer backups, stop using water in the home. We’ll walk you through the steps on the phone.
