Hilton Head Island Emergency Plumber

Water coming through a ceiling, sewage rising in a tub, a water heater emptying itself across the floor, or no water at all: when it happens in Hilton Head Island, our team treats it as the emergency it is. We handle emergency plumbing in Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, Beaufort and Port Royal for homeowners, guests in rental villas and the property managers who look after them. Shut the water off first, then call (843) 547-5621; same-day visits are often possible when a plumber is available.

What Counts As An Emergency

A burst or actively leaking pipe you cannot stop, sewage backing up into the house, a water heater leaking heavily, no water to the whole property, or a leak near electrical equipment. A gas smell is an emergency of a different kind: leave the building and call your gas supplier or 911 before anyone else. A dripping faucet or one slow drain can wait for a normal visit. We will ensure that your emergency plumbing repair in Hilton Head Island is handled by professionals.

What To Do Right Now

1. Close the main shut-off valve. Hilton Head PSD says it is normally on the customer side of the meter box near the street, or just outside where the service line enters the foundation. South Island PSD says the same: just in front of or just past the meter box.
2. If water is near outlets or the electrical panel, switch the power off at the breaker if you can reach it safely.
3. Turn the water heater off.
4. Open a low faucet to drain the lines.
5. For a sewage backup, stop using all water.
6. Call (843) 547-5621.

Our team is fully committed to reliable emergency plumbing in Hilton Head Island.

What We Handle

Burst and frozen pipes, failed supply lines to toilets, sinks and washing machines, slab leaks that surface suddenly, main-line sewer backups, grinder unit problems on the private side, flooding water heaters, broken hose bibs and storm damage to yard lines. After Hurricane Matthew in October 2016, Hilton Head PSD reported repairing 20 broken water mains and scores of broken private water service lines on the north and middle of the island alone. Private lines are the owner's to repair, and that is our work. When you need an emergency plumber in Hilton Head Island, our team is ready to help.

Why Call Us In An Emergency

Because a calm, correct first repair limits the damage. Our plumbers stop the water, make the property safe, explain what failed and why, and then complete the repair properly instead of leaving a temporary patch as the final answer. For a rental or a second home, tell us about the gate, the lockbox and who to speak to, and our team plans the visit around that. We offer reliable service at a fair and reasonable price. Our team is focused on high-quality emergency plumbing across Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, Beaufort and Port Royal.

Storms, Freezes And Empty Homes

Two local risks deserve planning. Before a hurricane, Hilton Head PSD advises shutting off the home's water at the main valve and turning off water-using appliances such as the water heater. And although island winters are mild, the freeze that came with the January 2018 snowstorm, which left about 4.5 inches on Hilton Head Island, showed what cold does to exposed pipes. If a home will sit empty, shut the water off. We are committed to making emergency plumbing in Hilton Head Island simple and reliable.
