Do This Right Now While You Wait
Shut off the water
Main shutoff is usually near the water meter or where the supply line enters the house. Turn it clockwise until fully closed.
Call us
Tell us what's happening. We'll give you an honest timeline and any immediate steps you can take while we're on the way.
Document the damage
Take photos before cleanup. Your homeowner's insurance will want them, and it helps us assess scope when we arrive.
Don't use water anywhere in the house
Running any fixture downstream of the problem can make it worse. Wait until we've assessed the situation.
What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency
If you're not sure whether to call now or wait — here's the guide.
Burst or Burst-Risk Pipe
Active water flow from a broken pipe needs to be stopped immediately. Shut off the main, then call. We prioritize burst pipe calls over standard service.
Sewage Backup
Raw sewage in the basement or backing up into tubs or toilets is a health hazard. Don't run water anywhere in the house — call now.
No Hot Water
A failed water heater — especially in winter — gets priority scheduling. We diagnose same-day and carry common parts for tank and tankless units.
Major Leak or Active Water Damage
If water is running where it shouldn't be and you can't stop it, shut off the main supply valve and call. Every minute of active flow is more damage.
Frozen or Thawing Pipe
Castle Rock sees regular hard freezes. A pipe that froze and is now thawing may already have a crack. Don't assume it's fine — call before it lets go.
Gas Line Concern
If you smell gas, leave the house and call 911 first, then your gas company. Once the gas is off and it's safe, call us for pipe inspection and repair.
Why Castle Rock Has More Pipe Emergencies in Winter
Castle Rock sits at 6,200 feet — higher than most Front Range cities — and sees temperature swings that freeze pipes in exterior walls, garages, and crawlspaces. A pipe that looked fine going into a cold night can split during the freeze and not show symptoms until it thaws the next morning.
The other Castle Rock factor is clay soil. Douglas County has expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Over years, that movement shifts sewer lines, cracks joints, and creates conditions for sewage backups that seem to come out of nowhere. They don't — they build slowly, then fail all at once.
If you're in The Terrain, Crystal Valley Ranch, Plum Creek, or any of the established Castle Rock neighborhoods, your sewer lateral has seen years of that soil movement. A camera inspection after any significant backup is worth the cost.
