What to Do First

Shut off the affected fixture or the home's main water valve if you can reach it safely.
Move people and pets away from sewage, standing water near electrical equipment, or a suspected gas leak.
Do not use a leaking water heater or an overflowing fixture.
Call the gas utility or 911 from a safe location if you smell gas.
Call Parks and describe what is leaking, overflowing, or no longer working.

Signs You Need an Emergency Plumber

Emergency Plumbing FAQs

What qualifies as a plumbing emergency?

Any plumbing issue that risks causing extensive damage, health hazards, or loss of crucial services is considered an emergency. Examples include major leaks, overflowing toilets, burst pipes, sewer backups, or gas line leaks. If you’re unsure, call us right away for guidance.

How do I shut off my main water supply in an emergency?

Locate the main shut-off valve, typically found where the water line enters your home or near your water meter. Turn it clockwise to stop the flow. This step can help limit water damage until our emergency plumbers arrive.

Should I attempt my own plumbing repairs?

While minor fixes like unclogging a simple blockage might be doable, most emergencies require professional expertise. Improper repairs can worsen the issue or create new problems. If you're unsure, it's safer to call Parks for 24/7 emergency assistance.

What do I do if my water heater breaks down?

First, shut off the power or gas supply to the unit—if you can do so safely. Then, turn off its water supply. Give us a call to schedule an emergency visit and prevent further damage or potential flooding.

Can I call you on nights, weekends, or holidays?

Absolutely. Our team is available 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Plumbing emergencies don't wait for business hours, and neither do we.

How quickly can you reach my home in an emergency?

We aim to arrive within 60 minutes or less for most areas in Charlotte. We understand that every minute counts in an emergency, so we'll dispatch a plumber as soon as possible.

Do you charge extra for after-hours or emergency service?

We believe in transparent pricing. Any after-hours or emergency fee will be clearly explained when you call, so you'll never face unexpected costs.

What if I suspect a gas leak?

If you smell gas (often described as a rotten egg odor) or hear a hissing noise, leave the area immediately and call your gas company. Then, reach out to our licensed professionals at Parks. We’ll safely inspect and resolve any gas line issues.
