Call Now: (337) 258-4861What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency
A plumbing emergency is any situation causing active water damage, a health hazard, or a complete loss of water. If it can wait until morning without causing more damage, it is not an emergency. If it cannot wait, call right now.
Burst Pipes
A split or frozen pipe releasing water fast can flood a room in minutes. Shut off the main water valve and call immediately.
Active Slab Leaks
Water surfacing through the slab or a warm spot on the floor means a supply line is leaking under your foundation.
Sewage Backups
Sewage rising in a tub, floor drain, or toilet is a health hazard. Stop using all water and call right away.
Water Heater Failures
A tank leaking from the base or a total loss of hot water can escalate quickly, especially with an older unit.
No Water at All
A sudden, complete loss of water to the whole home often points to a main line break or a failed supply connection.
Suspected gas leak? Evacuate everyone from the home first, then call your gas company or 911 from a safe distance. Do not use switches or phones inside. Once the gas is addressed, we can handle any related plumbing repairs.
Why Emergencies Happen in Acadiana
Rare Hard-Freeze Nights
South Louisiana rarely drops below freezing, but when it does, uninsulated and exposed pipes burst fast. A single cold night can split outdoor hose bibs and attic supply lines across entire neighborhoods.
Hurricane-Season Drainage
Heavy tropical rains overwhelm older drain lines and sewer laterals. Saturated ground shifts soil, cracks pipes, and sends storm water back into homes through backed-up drains.
Older Acadiana Homes
Many homes across Lafayette, Carencro, and Opelousas still have aging galvanized and cast iron supply lines that corrode from the inside out, weakening until a sudden failure.
What to Do While the Plumber Is On the Way
- 01Shut off your main water valve to stop the flow of water and limit further damage.
- 02Move valuables, furniture, and electronics away from the water or the leaking area.
- 03If it is safe, turn off electricity in the affected room to avoid any shock hazard.
- 04Do not pour chemical drain cleaners into a backed-up drain — they can make a sewage backup worse and create dangerous fumes.
- 05Take photos of the damage for your insurance company before anything is moved.
