What Is Considered a Plumbing Emergency for Homeowners?

A plumbing emergency is any problem that risks water damage, unsafe sewage exposure, or loss of essential hot or cold water. Common emergencies include burst pipes, sewage backups, and no-hot-water issues. Active leaks, slab leaks, and main drain or sewer blockages that cause flooding also qualify.
