Prepare for the Unexpected
Emergency plumbing problems happen unexpectedly, that’s why they are called ’emergencies.’ Still, if you are contending with a broken pipe, flooded bathroom, or raw sewage in your home, it puts you and your property at risk.
Steps to Take During a Plumbing Emergency
- Evaluate the Situation: Quickly assess the problem to identify its source and how severe it is.
- Turn Off Power: Unplug electrical appliances near the leak. If water has reached outlets or appliances, turn off the power at the circuit breaker to prevent the risk of electrocution or electrical fires.
- Contact Service Minds Benjamin Franklin Plumbing: Provide details of what you’ve discovered, whether it’s a burst pipe, an overflowing toilet, or a leaking water heater.
- Minimize the Damage: Use towels, buckets, or bowls to collect the water and prevent it from spreading further. Move valuables or electronics away from the affected area to protect them from water damage.
- Wait in a Safe Spot: Attempting complex repairs yourself can often exacerbate the situation, leading to higher repair costs and further damage.
Our skilled plumbers will come to your home or office immediately to assess the damage and offer emergency plumbing services. We know how important a fast response is and that’s why we are available 24/7.

Emergencies Come in All Shapes
At Service Minds Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, we can help with several types of common plumbing emergencies, including:
- Sewage Backups: Sewage should only flow in one direction – away from your home. When it reverses course, it can lead to a disgusting and hazardous situation. Raw sewage exposure poses severe health risks due to harmful bacteria and pathogens.
- Burst Pipes: A busted pipe can spew gallons of water every second, potentially causing extensive water damage, mold growth, and even potential electrical hazards.
- Water Heater Breakdowns: A malfunctioning water heater can cause floor damage from leaks and bring chaos to your household by depriving the household of hot water for showers, laundry, and dishwashing. Worse, faulty components may cause the unit to overheat, sending scalding water through taps.
- No Water: A complete loss of running water, whether due to clogs, corrosion in the main water line, or other issues, can disrupt daily activities and pose hygienic and sanitation concerns.
- Line Leaks: Whether it’s a slow drip from the kitchen sink, troubling pools around your toilet bowl, or soggy patches in the yard, leaks can weaken walls and floors, warp wood furniture, and encourage mold growth if left unchecked.
- Overflowing Toilets: This unsanitary situation may indicate a more serious underlying problem, such as a clogged vent pipe, faulty fill valve, or damaged tank components.
- Clogged Drains: Stubborn clogs can lead to hazardous backups and overflows, potentially allowing sewage to enter living spaces.
- Foul Odors: Sewage smells indicate sewer line issues, such as breaks or blockages, that threaten to cause backups and associated health risks.
- Pump Failure: A malfunctioning well pump or sump pump can leave a home vulnerable to flooding, mold, and water damage.
