Plumbing Emergencies We Handle in Council Bluffs
Burst or Leaking Pipes
Water spraying from a pipe, a growing ceiling stain, or a pipe that froze and split in an Iowa winter can cause serious damage in minutes. We find the leak and repair or replace the damaged pipe.
Sewer Backups
Gurgling drains, or sewage coming up in a tub, shower or floor drain, usually point to a blockage in the main line. Learn more about our sewer line repair service.
No Hot Water or a Leaking Water Heater
A water heater that is leaking, making loud noises or has stopped heating needs quick attention. See our water heater services.
Sump Pump Failure
If your sump pump stops working, or runs nonstop while water keeps rising, your basement can flood fast. We handle sump pump repair and replacement.
Severe Clogs and Overflowing Toilets
When a toilet keeps overflowing or a main drain will not clear, plunging is not enough. Our drain cleaning service clears stubborn blockages.
Smell gas? This is not a plumber-first call.

Call (712) 355-9187 NowWhat to Do While You Wait for the Plumber
- Shut off the main water valve. It is usually where the water line enters your home, often near the water meter or in the basement.
- Turn off power near the water. If water is near outlets, appliances or your electrical panel, stay away and call for help instead of touching anything.
- Stop using the drains in a sewer backup. Do not run sinks, showers or the washing machine, and keep children and pets away from the area.
- Deal with a leaking water heater safely. If you can do it safely, close the cold water valve on top of the tank and turn off its power or gas supply.
- Move belongings out of the way. Get valuables, rugs and furniture away from the water.
- Take photos. Photos of the damage can help if you plan to make an insurance claim.
