● Do this first

Before you call a plumber

Your safety comes before cleanup or repairs. These precautions do not replace advice from emergency services or a qualified professional.

  1. 01

    Stay clear of electrical hazards

    If floodwater is reaching outlets, appliances, or the electrical panel, stay out of the affected area and call 911. Do not enter standing water or approach a wet electrical panel to switch off a breaker.

  2. 02

    Stop the water only if safe

    For a supply-pipe leak, close your home's main water shut-off only if you can reach it safely. It is often near the water meter. If it is inaccessible or will not close, call 311 about an emergency City water shut-off; a fee may apply.

  3. 03

    For sewage backups, call 311

    Call 311 first so the City can help determine whether the blockage is in the public sewer or your property's plumbing. Keep people and pets away from sewage and avoid using plumbing fixtures while it is backing up.

  4. 04

    Describe the problem from safety

    Tell the dispatcher where water is coming from, whether it appears to be sewage, and whether you could safely shut off the supply. Photograph damage only from a safe, dry position. Do not delay an emergency call to take photos.

Does this need a 3am call?

After-hours fees vary by company. Do not delay help for active flooding or a hazard. For a minor problem with no ongoing damage, ask a plumber whether a daytime visit is appropriate.

Get help promptly

  • — Water is pouring in and you cannot find or close the main shut-off.
  • — Sewage is backing up: call 311 first, then arrange plumbing help as advised.
  • — A pipe has burst, or a faucet or fixture has broken off the wall.
  • — The house has no water at all and the neighbours still have theirs.
  • — A frozen pipe has already split, or you have no water while it is well below freezing.

Ask about a daytime visit

  • — A slow drip from a faucet or showerhead you can live with for a day.
  • — A sink or tub that still drains eventually and is not overflowing.
  • — A running toilet after its supply valve is closed and water flow has stopped.
  • — A small fixture leak after its supply is safely isolated and no more water is escaping.
  • — A renovation or upgrade you had already been meaning to book.

Gas is the exception. If you smell gas, do not chase the leak, light a match, or flip a light switch. Leave the building, keep everyone out, and call ATCO at 1-800-511-3447 from outside. Call 911 for immediate danger. Do not wait for a plumber. ATCO emergency guidance (checked November 2, 2026).

Five questions to ask on the call

Ask these before anyone is dispatched. A company that will not answer them plainly is telling you something.

  1. 1What is the after-hours call-out fee, and does it come off the cost of the repair?
  2. 2Is the rate hourly or flat, and are parts, materials, and travel charged separately?
  3. 3How long until someone is at my door — and can you put that window in a text?
  4. 4Do you carry the part this probably needs, or is that a second visit?
  5. 5What happens if the problem is bigger than it looks, and can I stop the work?
