Emergency Plumbers Coquitlam
A live person answers our emergency line 24/7, no machine, no callback queue. Tell us what's happening and we'll dispatch the nearest licensed plumber. Serving Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and the wider Tri-Cities since 1993.
Most emergency calls in Coquitlam see someone from our team on-site within three to five hours during the day, and about one hour after office hours.
What to do Right Now
If you're dealing with an active leak or flooding, two minutes of action can save you thousands in water damage:
- Shut off the water. For a single fixture, turn the valve under the sink or behind the toilet clockwise. For a burst pipe or major flooding, shut off your main water valve, usually where the water line enters the house, often in the garage, basement, or a utility closet near the front of the home.
- Kill the power to any area that's flooding, at the breaker, if you can reach it safely. Don't walk through standing water to get to a panel.
- Drain the line. Open the lowest cold tap in the house to relieve pressure and clear remaining water from the pipes.
- For a gas smell: leave the building first, then call us and your gas utility from outside. Don't flip switches.
Then call us.
We'll talk you through anything else while a plumber is on the way.
Plumbing Emergencies we Handle
We respond to these around the clock:
- Burst and frozen pipes
- Major leaks and water damage
- Flooded basements and failed sump pumps
- Leaking or failed hot water tanks
- Backed-up drains and sewer lines
- Gas leaks and gas line issues
- Overflowing or non-functioning toilets
Not every plumbing problem is a true emergency. A dripping faucet, a slow drain, or a toilet that runs can usually wait a day or two,
book a regular service call and we'll come at a time that suits you, often for less than an after-hours rate.

What Our Customers Say
Residential Emergency Plumbing
When something fails at home, the disruption isn't just the repair, it's the water on the floor, the missing hot water, the kids' bath that can't happen. We carry common parts on the truck so most emergency repairs are finished in a single visit. If a fixture or water heater needs replacing, a licensed journeyman handles it and it's covered by our workmanship warranty.
After things are back to normal, you can opt into our annual maintenance plan: once a year we inspect the plumbing and heating, service the furnace or boiler, and check water pressure to catch problems, a weeping valve, a corroding line, before they become the next 2 a.m. call.
Commercial Emergency Pumbing
A plumbing failure in a business means closed doors and lost revenue, so commercial calls get the same 24/7 response. We maintain plumbing and heating systems for local businesses on ongoing contracts, which means when something does break, we already know your building. If you're looking to put a property on a maintenance agreement, get in touch and we'll talk through what makes sense for your site.
