Our emergency plumbers are licensed and insured, and they cover the whole Eatonton region 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, holidays included. Homeowners and businesses around Putnam County count on us for the calls that cannot wait.
What to do while we are on the way
- Shut off the main water valve. On city water it is usually where the line enters the house or at the meter box near the street. On a well, turn off the breaker to the pump.
- Turn off the water heater if it is leaking. Switch off the breaker for an electric unit, or turn the gas valve to pilot or off for a gas unit.
- Stop using drains if sewage is backing up. Every flush and every load of laundry adds to the overflow.
- Move rugs, electronics and valuables out of the water, and stay clear of standing water near outlets or appliances.
Smell gas? Do not flip switches or use a phone inside. Get everyone out, then call your gas company or 911 from outside. Once the utility has made it safe, call us to find and repair the leak.
Small problems become big ones fast
A slow leak under a sink or a toilet that keeps clogging is easy to put off. Left alone, the same problem can rot a subfloor or push a partial sewer blockage into a full backup. If something seems off, call and schedule a visit with an experienced plumber before it turns into a midnight emergency.

Emergency plumbing questions and answers
25 common questions, answered by Eatonton Plumber Pro, a Georgia master licensed plumbing company (MP210274). Last updated November 10, 2026.
Is emergency plumbing really available 24 hours a day?
Yes. We take emergency plumbing calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including weekends and holidays. Call (706) 612-5425 any time.
Do you charge more for nights and weekends?
After-hours work can be priced differently than a weekday visit. We tell you the price before any work begins, so there are no surprises on the bill.
Where is my main water shutoff?
On city water it is usually in a box at the meter near the street, with a second valve where the line enters the house. Many lake homes on a well have a valve near the pressure tank. If you cannot find yours, call us and we will talk you through it.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Anything that is actively causing damage or leaves you without a working home: a burst or frozen pipe, sewage backing up, no water at all, a leaking water heater, a toilet that will not stop overflowing, or water coming through a ceiling. If you are not sure, call (706) 612-5425 and we will tell you honestly whether it can wait.
How fast can an emergency plumber get to my house in Eatonton?
It depends on the hour, the weather and where you are, so we give you a real arrival estimate when you call instead of a promise we cannot keep. Our techs live around Eatonton and Lake Oconee, so help is close by.
What should I do first if a pipe bursts?
Shut off the main water valve right away, then open a faucet at the lowest point of the house to relieve pressure. On a well, turn off the pump breaker. Move valuables out of the water, stay clear of wet outlets and appliances, and call us.
How do I stop a toilet from overflowing?
Lift the tank lid and press the flapper down to stop more water from entering the bowl, then turn the shutoff valve behind the toilet clockwise until it stops. Do not flush again. If other drains are backing up too, the main line is likely blocked.
What do I do if sewage is coming up in my tub or shower?
Stop using water everywhere in the house, including toilets, sinks, the washer and the dishwasher. Sewage in the lowest drain usually means the main sewer or septic line is blocked. Keep children and pets away from it and call us for main line drain cleaning.
Can you help if my well pump stops and I have no water?
Yes. A dead well pump is an emergency call for us. Check the pump breaker first. If it is on and you still have no water, we troubleshoot the pump, pressure switch, control box and wiring. See well pump service.
Is a leaking water heater an emergency?
A tank leaking from its body can fail without warning and release a lot of water. Close the cold supply valve on top, switch off the breaker or set the gas valve to off, and call us. A dripping relief valve can also signal unsafe pressure. See water heater repair.
What should I do if my pipes freeze?
Open the faucet on the frozen line and warm the pipe gently with a hair dryer or a space heater kept at a safe distance. Never use an open flame. If you cannot find the frozen section, or the pipe has split, shut off the main water and call us before it thaws and floods.
Do you handle commercial plumbing emergencies?
Yes. Restaurants, offices, shops and rental properties call us around the clock for sewer backups, restroom failures, water heater outages and gas problems. See commercial plumbing.
Will an emergency plumber fix the problem on the first visit?
Many emergency calls are fixed on the first visit. Bigger jobs, like replacing a collapsed sewer line, may need the water stopped or the line cleared that night, with the full repair scheduled after. We explain the plan and the price before any work starts.
Do you work on holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas?
Yes. We answer 365 days a year, holidays included. Holidays are when houses are full and plumbing gets the hardest use, so a plumber stays on call.
Where is the shutoff valve for a single fixture?
Most sinks and toilets have a small oval handle on the supply line underneath or behind them. Turn it clockwise to stop water to that fixture only. A tank water heater has a valve on the cold line at the top. Knowing these valves can prevent a lot of damage while help is on the way.
Should I call a plumber or my insurance company first?
Stop the water first, then call a plumber to make the situation safe. Take photos of the damage before cleanup and contact your insurance company as soon as you can. We can give you documentation of what we found and repaired for your claim.
What causes pipes to burst?
Freezing is the most common cause around Eatonton in winter, because water expands as it freezes. High water pressure, corrosion in old galvanized or copper pipe, and failing polybutylene supply lines can also cause sudden breaks.
Do you offer emergency service at Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair homes?
Yes. We take emergency calls from lake homes around Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair, including weekend houses that sit empty for long stretches. See Lake Oconee plumbing.
How can I prevent plumbing emergencies?
Know where your main shutoff is, insulate pipes in crawl spaces and on exterior walls, flush your water heater yearly, keep grease and wipes out of drains, and fix small leaks before they grow. Lake homes that sit empty benefit from a yearly maintenance visit.
