Overview
What counts as a real plumbing emergency
Some plumbing problems can wait until morning — a slow drip, a running toilet, a slow drain. Others can't. If water is actively flooding the house, if sewage is backing up into a tub, if there's a gas smell, if you have no hot water in a Utah winter — that's an emergency. Waiting turns a $500 repair into a $15,000 water remediation job.
Valley runs 24/7 dispatch with the same licensed techs who handle our daytime calls. No third-party answering service, no subcontractor handoff. You call, a real human picks up, and if it's urgent, a truck is moving within minutes. Typical response across the Salt Lake Valley is 60 to 90 minutes — faster in Salt Lake City proper, a little slower in Tooele and the far reaches of Weber County.
Call us right away for
- Burst pipe — shut the water off at the main if you can, then call. Every hour matters for drywall and flooring damage
- Sewage backing up — into a tub, shower, or floor drain. Health hazard, escalates fast
- Gas smell — anywhere near a stove, water heater, or furnace. Leave the house, shut off the meter if safe, then call
- No heat in winter — below 20°F a failed furnace puts pipes at freeze risk, which turns into bigger problems
- Water heater leaking at base — actively draining is different from condensation. Call now
- Main water line break — wet spot in yard, water bill spike, no pressure in the house
What you'll pay
Emergency after-hours service adds a $95–$150 dispatch surcharge on top of the normal flat-rate repair price. The repair itself is quoted the same way it would be during business hours — no emergency tax on the actual work. Members of the Quality Service Club get priority dispatch (skipping the queue on busy nights) plus 15% off the repair cost.
Before we get there
Three things that can save you money while we're en route. One — shut the water off at the main valve (usually near the front of the house or in the basement where the supply comes in). Two — if sewage is backing up, stop using any drain or fixture. Three — move belongings off the floor near the affected area. Beyond that, don't try to snake or patch anything; let us diagnose before anything gets made worse.

Water heater is leaking water from the base, not the top

Sudden drop in water pressure throughout the whole house
Drains across multiple fixtures backing up at the same time
Call, don't text
If water's where it shouldn't be, stop reading and dial.
Every hour a burst pipe runs adds drywall, flooring, and mold costs to your insurance claim. 60 to 90 minute dispatch, 24/7.
Typical dispatch
60min
Across Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Weber, and Tooele counties.
The Process
What Happens When You Call After Hours
On the truck
Cable machine, jetter, and pipe camera — every call.
Real human answers
No phone tree, no offshore answering service. A local dispatcher picks up 24/7, asks a few triage questions, and either dispatches a truck or gives honest guidance if it can wait.
Live ETA
You get a real response window and a text when the tech is on the way. Typical response is 60 to 90 minutes in Salt Lake County, 90 to 120 in outlying counties.
Contain the problem first
Tech's first job on-site is stopping the damage — shut valves, cap broken lines, set up containment. Diagnosis and quoting comes after the bleeding stops.
Quote before the repair
Even on an emergency, the price is flat-rate and given before work. You approve before we fix. No 'figure it out later' billing.
Full fix or bridge fix
If we can finish the full repair at 2am, we do. If the full fix needs daylight or a part, we make a solid temporary fix and schedule the permanent one first thing in the morning.
