A burst pipe, a toilet that won't stop overflowing, a water heater actively leaking, or sewage backing up into the house are situations that can't wait. These usually trace back to a frozen or corroded pipe splitting, a failed supply line, a sump pump that's quit during heavy rain, or a main line blockage pushing sewage up through the lowest drain.

The first move is almost always the same: shut off the main water supply valve, usually near where the line enters the house or at the meter, to stop the flow. If there's a gas smell along with the leak, leave the house immediately and call the gas utility first. Standing water near outlets or a breaker panel is a reason to stay clear and call rather than wade in.

The phone line at (844) 898-0295 is open around the clock. Describe what's happening and Smart Pro Plumbers will connect you with an independent local plumber in Hitchcock, SD.

Emergency Plumbing Services FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Emergency Plumbing Services

Questions we hear most often about Emergency Plumbing Services in Hitchcock, SD.

Talk to a real person
Why does my water heater's pilot light keep going out?
A pilot that won't stay lit is usually a failed thermocouple, the small sensor that tells the gas valve a flame is present. When it wears out, the valve shuts off the gas as a safety measure, even though you keep relighting it. Do not keep manually holding the pilot lit or forcing the gas valve. Shut the gas supply if you smell any odor and leave the area. This is a repair for a professional, not a DIY project. Call (844) 898-0295 and describe the symptoms to get connected with an independent local plumber.
Why is water dripping from the pipe on top of my water heater?
That pipe usually runs from the pressure relief valve, and a steady drip often means the valve is doing its job by releasing pressure that has nowhere else to go. A common cause is a failed expansion tank that no longer absorbs the extra pressure created when water heats up. Shut the cold supply valve on top of the tank if the dripping is heavy or the tank feels excessively hot. Do not ignore it, since pressure with nowhere to escape can be dangerous. Call (844) 898-0295 and describe what you are seeing in Hitchcock, SD.
Why is only one drain slow, but the rest of the house is fine?
A single slow fixture, like one sink or tub, is usually a localized clog close to that drain, often hair, soap, or grease. When every drain in the house backs up at once, including the lowest fixture like a basement floor drain, the problem is usually farther down the main line, such as root intrusion at a clay pipe joint or a bellied section that holds water. A cable machine can usually clear a local clog, while a main line problem often needs a camera inspection or hydro jetting to confirm the cause and clear it fully. Call (844) 898-0295 and describe which drains are affected.
Do I really need my backflow preventer tested every year?
Many municipalities require an annual backflow test to confirm the device is still stopping contaminated water from flowing back into the clean water supply, and skipping it can bring a notice from the water utility. The test itself is quick, but it should be done by someone familiar with local backflow codes, since requirements vary by city. If you received a notice from your water provider or are not sure whether your property even has a backflow preventer, do not guess. Call (844) 898-0295 and mention the notice to get connected with an independent local plumber who handles backflow testing in Hitchcock, SD.
How do I know if my sump pump is about to fail?
Listen for a pump that runs constantly, cycles on and off rapidly, or makes a grinding or humming noise without moving water. A pump that stays silent during heavy rain, or a pit that stays full instead of draining down, are also warning signs. Age matters too, since most pumps wear out after some years of regular use. Do not wait for a flooded basement to deal with it. If you are noticing any of these signs, or need a new sump pump installed, call (844) 898-0295 and describe the situation.
