Emergency Plumbing Services We Provide in Wichita, KS

Our Wichita emergency plumbers are trained and equipped to handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing crises. Below are the most common emergencies we respond to throughout Wichita and the surrounding metro area.

Burst or Broken Pipes

A burst pipe can release dozens of gallons of water per minute, damaging floors, walls, ceilings, and belongings in minutes. As soon as you suspect a burst pipe, shut off your main water valve to stop the flow, then call us immediately. Our plumbers will locate the break, repair or replace the damaged section, and check surrounding pipes for additional vulnerabilities.

What to do while waiting for us to arrive:

• Shut off the main water supply valve
• Turn off electricity in any area where water is pooling near outlets or panels
• Open faucets to relieve remaining pressure in the line
• Do not use any electrical appliances in the affected area

Sewage Backup or Overflow

A sewage backup is one of the most serious plumbing emergencies a Wichita home can face. Raw sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that pose a direct health risk to anyone in the home. If sewage is coming up through floor drains, toilets, or tubs, keep everyone out of the affected area and call us right away. Do not attempt to clean it up or use any fixtures until the blockage is cleared.

Common causes of sewage backups in Wichita include tree root intrusion in sewer lines, grease accumulation in older drain lines, flushed debris causing main line blockages, and city sewer line problems that affect multiple homes on a street.

No Running Water

If your home suddenly has no water and your neighbors are unaffected, the problem is likely inside your own system. Possible causes include a frozen or burst supply line, a failed pressure regulator, a shut-off valve that closed accidentally, or a significant leak elsewhere in the home that dropped pressure to zero. Our plumbers will diagnose the cause and restore your water supply as quickly as possible.

Flooding Inside the Home

Indoor flooding can come from a failed sump pump during a Kansas storm, an overflowing toilet or washing machine, a burst water heater, or a broken supply line behind an appliance. Every minute water sits on floors and against walls, the damage compounds. Call us immediately and we will dispatch a plumber to stop the source and assess the damage.

No Hot Water

Losing hot water is more than an inconvenience. If your water heater runs on gas, a sudden loss of hot water can indicate a gas supply problem or a faulty thermocouple, either of which warrants immediate professional attention. Even for electric water heaters, a failed heating element or tripped breaker may be symptomatic of a larger electrical or plumbing issue. Do not ignore it, call our Wichita team for a same-visit diagnosis.

Overflowing or Severely Blocked Toilet

A toilet that overflows or will not drain despite plunging is a sign of a deeper blockage in the drain line, a problem with the vent stack, or a main sewer line issue. Attempting to force the clog with chemical treatments or repeated plunging can make the problem worse. Our plumbers use professional-grade equipment to clear the blockage safely and completely without damaging your pipes.

Blocked or Collapsed Drain Lines

When multiple drains in your home are slow or backing up at the same time, the problem is almost always in the main sewer line rather than individual fixture traps. This is a plumbing emergency that requires immediate attention. Our Wichita plumbers use camera inspection to locate the exact problem, then clear it with hydrojetting, rooter service, or our BioBen biological drain treatment depending on the cause.

Water Dripping from Ceilings or Walls

Water coming through a ceiling or wall is always a sign of an active leak somewhere above or behind it. The visible drip is typically only a fraction of the water that is saturating insulation, framing, and drywall. Left unaddressed, this leads to mold, structural damage, and costly remediation. Our plumbers use leak detection equipment to find the source without unnecessary demolition.

Sump Pump Failure During a Storm

When a Kansas thunderstorm rolls through Wichita, a failing sump pump can mean a flooded basement within hours. If your sump pump is running continuously without draining, making unusual noises, or not activating at all, call us immediately. We carry sump pumps on our trucks and can replace a failed unit on the spot.

Gas Line Emergencies

If you smell gas inside or near your home, treat it as an immediate emergency. Do not flip any light switches, use any appliances, or attempt to locate the leak yourself. Evacuate everyone from the building, leave doors open as you exit, and call your gas company from outside. Once the gas company has assessed the situation and it is safe to do so, call our Wichita plumbers to inspect and repair the gas line.

Common signs of a gas leak include a rotten egg or sulfur odor, a hissing sound near gas lines or appliances, dead vegetation in a line along your yard, or physical symptoms such as headaches, nausea, or dizziness while inside the home.

Burst or Leaking Washing Machine Hose

A washing machine supply hose can fail suddenly and without warning, releasing a large volume of water in a short time. If you see pooling water near your washer, turn off the water supply valves behind the machine immediately, then call us. If the hose has burst completely and you cannot reach the valves, shut off the main water supply.

Frozen Pipes

Wichita winters can drop below freezing for extended periods, and pipes in exterior walls, unheated crawl spaces, or garages are particularly vulnerable. A frozen pipe that is not thawed correctly can burst, causing significant water damage. Do not use an open flame or heat gun on frozen pipes. Call our Wichita plumbers who have the right equipment to thaw pipes safely and inspect them for cracks before you turn the water back on.

Wet or Soggy Spots in the Yard

Unexplained wet areas or sinkholes in your yard when there has been no rain can indicate a broken underground water line or sewer pipe. This is not a situation to monitor over time. A broken sewer line can introduce bacteria into the soil near your home, and a broken water line wastes hundreds of gallons per day while driving up your utility bill. Call us for a camera inspection and repair.

-> Outdoor Plumbing Repair in Wichita

Rusted or Visibly Deteriorating Pipes

If you notice orange or brown discoloration in your water, rust buildup around pipe joints, or visible corrosion on exposed pipes, your plumbing system is signaling a problem that will not fix itself. Corroded pipes are prone to leaks and can introduce contaminants into your water supply. Our Wichita plumbers can assess the extent of the deterioration and recommend targeted repair or repiping as needed.
