What counts as a plumbing emergency?

A plumbing emergency is a failure that keeps doing damage until someone stops it. A burst pipe spraying water counts. So does a leak coming through a ceiling or a toilet that will not stop overflowing. In a Rogue Valley cold snap, pipes along outside walls and in unheated spaces can freeze and burst.

Sewage coming up a shower or floor drain is an emergency too. When several drains back up at once, the clog is often in the main line out of the house. That calls for main line drain cleaning, or a repair if the pipe is broken.

A dripping faucet or a slow drain can wait for a regular plumbing repair visit. If you are not sure which you have, call or text and describe what you see. We will talk it through with you.

Where is the water shutoff on a Medford home?

Medford Water says the shutoff for most single-family homes sits in a concrete box next to the water meter. The meter box is at the property line, in front of or behind the house.

A hand-operated valve closes with a quarter turn clockwise, so the handle sits across the pipe. A gate valve turns like a dial, clockwise to close. Some need a tool, so learn how yours works before an emergency.

The utility says the pipe from the meter to the house is the property owner's to maintain and repair. Report a suspected main break in the street to Medford Water, which keeps an after-hours emergency line. Outside Medford, your own water provider can tell you where its pipe ends.

What happens when our emergency plumber arrives

When you call or text, tell us what failed and where the water is going. Tell us whether you found the shutoff. That helps us plan the first step before we get there.

On site, we stop the water first and make the area safe. Then we find the cause and explain the repair. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.

Some breaks sit under a slab or out in the yard. A broken sewer line may need sewer line repair by trenchless pipe bursting or an open trench. Our crews run excavators and backhoes for lines that need digging.

FAQ

Emergency Plumber Questions, Answered

Common questions about emergency plumber around Medford and the Rogue Valley. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (541) 734-9000

Is Hukill's available 24/7 for plumbing emergencies?
Yes. We are available 24/7 for emergencies, weekends included. Call or text (541) 734-9000 and tell us what failed. Our team is ready to respond day or night.
How much does an emergency plumber cost?
The price depends on what failed and what it takes to reach it. A leak under a sink is a smaller job than a broken line under a slab. Once we see the problem, we put the quote for the repair in writing.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
Shut off the water at the main valve. If only one fixture leaks, the valve under the sink or behind the toilet may stop it. Keep people and pets away from water near outlets or cords. If you smell gas, get everyone outside, then call 911 and the gas company from a safe distance.
How do I thaw a frozen pipe safely?
Medford Water advises shutting off the water first, so a split pipe cannot flood the house as it thaws. Warm the pipe slowly with a hair dryer or a space heater on low. Never use an open flame. If the pipe split, call or text us.
Who do I call when sewage backs up?
Sewage coming up indoors often starts with a clog or a break in the line out to the main. Our plumbers clear or repair that line. Report an overflow from a manhole or a street main to the sewer utility. In Medford that is the city; in Talent and White City it is Rogue Valley Sewer Services.
Is a leaking water heater an emergency?
It can be, because a leaking tank keeps refilling as it drains. Shut off the water at the main, then call or text us. Our plumbers handle water heater repair and replacement. No hot water counts as an emergency call too.

Brandon and Colton did an outstanding job fixing our clogged sinks. They arrived within three hours of our call, were professional and courteous, and quickly diagnosed and resolved the issue. They explained everything clearly and left the work area clean when they were finished. We really appreciated their prompt response and excellent service. I highly recommend Hukill's to anyone looking for reliable, efficient plumbers.

After we had our septic tank pumped by Tristan this morning and then Brandon,Kayden and "G" the excavator operator came out to do an septic line investigation. I was very appreciative of them explaining and answering all my questions. I would definitely request them to help us again. Thank you all for all your hard work.
