Plumbing Emergencies We Can Help Diagnose
The correct response depends on the source of the problem. Our plumbers evaluate the affected system and explain whether the issue requires an immediate repair, temporary isolation, replacement, cleaning, or additional diagnostic work.
Burst Pipes
A split or ruptured pipe can release large amounts of water into a home. Turn off the water supply when it is safe to do so and call for professional help.
Major Water Leaks
Leaks may come from pipes, fixtures, appliance connections, valves, water heaters, well systems, or hidden plumbing behind walls and ceilings.
Overflowing Toilets
Stop using the fixture and shut off its supply valve if possible. The cause may involve a clog, failed internal component, drain blockage, or deeper sewer issue.
Drain or Sewer Backups
Multiple slow drains, wastewater coming through fixtures, odors, gurgling, or repeated backups may indicate a significant drainage or sewer problem.
No Water in the Home
A sudden loss of water may involve a well pump, pressure tank, main supply line, shutoff valve, frozen pipe, utility interruption, or another plumbing failure.
Water Heater Emergencies
Water around the tank, sudden loss of hot water, unusual noises, electrical problems, or a suspected gas issue should be evaluated promptly.
Fixture and Valve Failures
Broken faucets, damaged shutoffs, failed supply lines, leaking fixtures, and appliance connections can release water quickly.
Well Pump Problems
No water, rapid pump cycling, unusual pressure changes, or a malfunctioning pressure system can interrupt water throughout the home.
Unexplained Plumbing Damage
Water stains, wet floors, unusual sounds, low pressure, odors, or recurring problems may require professional investigation to find the source.
What to Do During a Plumbing Emergency
Your safety comes first. Do not touch electrical equipment in standing water, enter unsafe areas, or attempt a repair that could expose you to sewage, gas, electricity, or structural damage.
Shut Off the Water When Safe
Use the fixture shutoff or main water valve when you know its location and can reach it safely. Do not force a damaged valve.
Protect People and Pets
Keep children and pets away from standing water, sewage, broken fixtures, exposed wiring, and damaged building materials.
Turn Off Affected Equipment
If it can be done safely and according to the manufacturer’s instructions, stop using the affected appliance, fixture, water heater, pump, or plumbing system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
A plumbing emergency generally includes an active leak, burst pipe, overflowing fixture, wastewater backup, complete loss of water, water heater leak, suspected gas-related plumbing issue, or another problem that threatens safety, sanitation, or property.
What should I do first when a pipe bursts?
Shut off the main water supply if you can reach it safely. Keep people away from standing water and electrical equipment, then call a plumber and describe where the pipe is located and whether water is still flowing.
Should I call a plumber for an overflowing toilet?
Yes, especially if the toilet will not stop overflowing, wastewater is backing up, multiple drains are affected, or the problem returns after plunging. Shut off the toilet supply valve when possible and stop using nearby fixtures.
Why did my home suddenly lose water?
Sudden loss of water may involve a utility interruption, closed or damaged valve, frozen or broken pipe, main water-line issue, well pump failure, pressure tank problem, electrical interruption, or another supply-system fault.
Is a leaking water heater an emergency?
It may be. A leaking water heater can cause water damage and may worsen quickly. Do not touch electrical components or enter standing water. Call for professional guidance and shut off the system only when you can do so safely.

Yes. Thor’s Plumbing Solutions serves homeowners in Durham, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, and surrounding areas. Scheduling and response depend on technician availability, location, and the nature of the plumbing problem.
