Plumbing Problems That Can't Wait in Geneva
Call us right away for any of these:
Water Coming Through Plaster
A ceiling or wall that's bulging, stained or dripping. Shut off the water and stay out from under it.
A Sewer Backup
Dirty water rising at the floor drain or basement toilet. Stop running water upstairs.
A Flooded Sump Pit
The pump has quit and the rain hasn't.
A Tank Leak
Close the cold water valve on top of the water heater.
A Gas Smell

A Main Valve That Won't Close

What Emergencies Look Like in Geneva
Geneva's emergency calls tend to follow its housing: century-old homes near the river and newer homes to the west.
Burst Pipes in Historic Walls
Older homes with little wall insulation see the most frozen and burst pipes when temperatures drop below zero. See burst pipe repair.
Storm Backups
In September 2008, about 9 inches of rain fell on Geneva in two days. Heavy storms still bring backup calls from homes with gravity floor drains. See sewage backup service.
Water Heater Failures
A tank that splits can put dozens of gallons on the basement floor in minutes. See water heater repair.
Original Equipment Giving Out
In homes built after 1990, original sump pumps and water heaters tend to fail at the worst possible time.

"So it's Christmas Eve and my sewer is backed up. J. Blanton did not hesitate or cancel my appointment. George and Mike were excellent! They were not rushed, answered all my questions. Very knowledgeable and honest, which goes a long way especially as a first time home owner."
★★★★★
"Super helpfull. They called back on a Sunday late afternoon and came out that evening. 3 plumbers came to the house on Monday to finish the job. Joe, George and Anthony. Highly recommend them. No one wants to have Sewage backing up, they treated it like an emergency and kept at it."
★★★★★
"Josh Reid came by on Saturday night around 8pm to help us with an emergency plumbing issue. He was beyond friendly and very honest with us. He was able to help us route our line to stop the back flow that was occurring in the house. I could tell he really cared about our situation and didn't seem annoyed at all considering it was Saturday night."
