Burst and split pipes
Water from a cracked or separated pipe runs into the walls, ceiling or floor below. The damaged section is repaired or replaced and the line is put back to work.
Emergency Plumbing in White Plains
Water pouring from a split pipe, a toilet spilling over the bowl or sewage rising through a floor drain gets a call to us. We get the problem looked at.
This page lists the problems that count as emergencies at a White Plains house or apartment building. The repair that follows depends on what the problem turns out to be.
Problems that count as an emergency
Sewage backing up
Sewage in a toilet, tub or floor drain means a blockage or break somewhere down the line. We trace it, with a camera run through the sewer lateral where needed.
Toilets that will not stop
A toilet that keeps filling and spilling over, or will not flush at all, is fixed at the valve, the flapper or the drain behind it, depending on the cause.
Water heater leaks
A tank that is leaking at the base or a connection that is pouring water gets looked at, and the heater is repaired or replaced.
Frozen supply lines
A supply line that has frozen can split as it thaws. A call gets the pipe checked and any damaged section repaired.
Winter in White Plains
Cold nights matter for pipes here. The city’s January low averages near 25°F, and 87 days or so a year bottom out at 32°F or below, hitting outside-wall, garage and crawl space lines first.
The pipe freeze risk checker lets you rate a pipe by where it runs, so you can see how exposed an outside wall, a crawl space or an attic line is.
