Emergency Plumber Brooklyn
An emergency plumber from Plumber Brooklyn Crew answers the phone at any hour. Burst pipes, sewage on the basement floor, a dead boiler in January - these calls skip the schedule. The emergency line is part of our Brooklyn plumbing service, so the plumber who stops the leak can also quote the permanent repair.

24/7 Emergency Plumbing in Brooklyn, NY
Water moves fast in a Brooklyn building. A burst half-inch supply line puts several gallons a minute on the floor, and in a row house that water reaches the ceiling of the unit below before anyone finds the shutoff. Our emergency plumbers stop the water first. Old gate valves stick, and some houses have no working shutoff at all, so the truck carries a curb key for the valve in the sidewalk. Ceilings come next. Wet plaster holds water like a bowl, and a small hole poked in the low spot drains it into a bucket before the whole ceiling drops.

What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency in Brooklyn
Burst Pipes and Active Leaks
Close the main water valve - front basement wall, near the meter, in most Brooklyn houses. Know where that valve is before you need it. Open a faucet on the lowest floor to drain the lines, then call. Frozen pipes split along the seam and leak when they thaw, so a January cold snap fills our schedule two days later. The lasting fix is pipe repair. Ceiling stains with no visible source call for leak detection.
Sewer Backups and Flooded Basements
Sewage rising from the basement floor drain means the house sewer is blocked. Stop running water in every unit. Heavy rain makes it worse on low blocks, around Gowanus for one, where full city sewers push back toward the house. Call 311 so DEP checks the city sewer, then call a plumber for drain cleaning. A line that backs up again within weeks usually needs sewer line repair.
Gas Smells, No Heat and No Hot Water
A gas smell is a 911 call. Leave the building, call 911 and National Grid at 718-643-4050, and stay outside. Gas leak repair starts after the utility makes the building safe. No heat and no hot water count as emergencies in winter - landlords face HPD violations when they drag on - and the same line handles boiler repair and water heater repair.
While You Wait for the Emergency Plumber
Shut the water. Stay out of standing water near outlets or the electrical panel. Skip the chemical drain opener - it sits in the trap and burns whoever opens the pipe next. Take photos for the insurance claim before anything gets moved. Tell us the building type and the floor when you call. A fourth-floor leak in a walk-up needs the riser shut, and that means finding the super.
