What counts as a plumbing emergency
If water is going somewhere it should not, or you have no water at all, it is worth a call now rather than in the morning. Common reasons to call:
- A burst or split pipe, including supply lines to a sink, toilet, or washing machine
- Water coming through a ceiling or wall, or pooling on a floor
- Sewage backing up into a tub, shower, or floor drain
- A water heater tank that is leaking or hissing
- No water pressure anywhere in the home after a sudden drop
- A main shut-off valve that will not close
What to have ready
Say your city or neighborhood, what is happening, and whether the water is shut off. The plumber tells you when they can be there and what the service call costs before anything starts.
Before the plumber arrives
- Close the nearest shut-off valve, or the main valve at the house or at the meter by the street
- If the water heater is leaking, close the cold-water valve on top of the tank and turn off its breaker or gas valve
- Keep the path to the problem clear and note where the main valve is so you can point to it
Emergencies that are common in Miami-Dade
Older homes in Coral Gables, Little Havana, Hialeah, and parts of Kendall still have cast-iron drain lines that corrode from the inside and eventually collapse, which shows up as sudden sewage backups. Slab leaks are frequent in 1960s and 1970s houses with copper supply lines poured into the concrete. During the summer rainy season and tropical storms, saturated ground and overwhelmed sewer mains push water back into ground-floor fixtures. In high-rise condos, a leak in one unit can quickly involve neighbors below, so ask building management about the riser shut-off while you wait.
Questions people ask
Is there an emergency plumber near me in Miami-Dade right now?
Yes, 24 hours, anywhere in the county: Hialeah, Kendall, Coral Gables, Doral, Miami Beach, Homestead and the city itself. Shut the water first, then call and say what the water is doing and where you are; the plumber who works your part of Miami-Dade is the one who comes.
Is a sewage backup an emergency?
Yes. Stop using water in the house, keep people and pets away from it, and call. In the older housing of Hialeah, Little Havana, the Gables and Kendall a sudden backup is usually a collapsed section of cast iron or roots in a clay lateral, and in the rainy season an overloaded main; the plumber brings a camera either way.
I live in a condo. Who do I call first?
Building management, for the riser shut-off, then the plumber. A leak in one unit reaches the units below within minutes, and the riser valve is usually in a locked chase that management controls. Say the floor and the stack when you call.
