A pipe that has split
When a supply pipe splits, water keeps escaping because the line stays under pressure. The plumber removes the damaged length, puts in new pipe and inspects the joints on either side.

Problems that need a plumber now
Sewage backing up
A tub or floor drain that fills with sewage is connected to a line that has plugged or broken somewhere downstream. The plumber removes the plug first, and a camera can then locate the failure.
A toilet running over
An overflowing toilet has a blockage in the drain under it, or a fault in its own fill and flush parts. The plumber works out which, then clears the drain or repairs the toilet.
Water around the heater
A wet floor beside a tank heater has several possible sources, including a loose fitting, the relief valve and a leaking tank. The plumber locates the source, then tells you if repairing or replacing is the better choice.
Dry taps after a freeze
Taps that give no water after a cold night may have frozen pipe behind them. The plumber finds the frozen section, thaws it and looks for splits that show up as the pipe warms.
Winter cold in Paterson
Paterson’s coldest month, January, averages a low of 25°F, and over 85 days a year sit at or below 32°F. Those are the days when pipes along outside walls or through attics and unheated cellars are at risk.
Give the pipe freeze risk checker the route your pipes take and it adds Paterson’s January low, producing a risk level you can go over with the plumber by phone.
After the water is stopped
Stopping the water is the first part of the visit. The plumber then repairs the cause, which might be a new length of pipe, a cleared drain or a replacement heater, and explains what was done.
If the water is coming from somewhere you cannot see, leak detection is the next page to read. A damaged line under the yard is covered under sewer line repair, and the homepage lists all seven services.
