How We Handle Your Emergency Call

When you reach out to Big Brothers Home Services during a crisis, our goal is to make the process from your first call to a completed repair as smooth as possible. We have refined our approach over the years to stay organized, efficient, and respectful of your time and property. Best of all, you are never left in the dark about anything we are doing. We believe that clear communication is just as important as fixing the problem itself. We want you to feel confident from the moment we pull into your driveway. 

Here is the approach our team takes to resolve your plumbing emergency:

• Dispatch confirmation – You will speak directly with our team, not a call center. We will ask what is happening and give you clear steps to take while help is on the way.
• Prompt arrival – Our plumbers head out immediately with stocked trucks and professional-grade tools for fast solutions.
• Damage control – We locate the issue, stop the leak, and make sure water flow is safely contained.
• Effective repair – Whether it is a burst pipe, a broken valve, or a leaking water heater, we take care of it right then and there.
• Final walkthrough – Before we leave, we check your plumbing system and clean up any mess so your home feels put back together.

We are focused on making a messy problem manageable. You will know what we are doing, how long it will take, and what to expect next, all without surprises.

During the initial call, our team may also walk you through simple, safe steps you can take to limit damage while we are on the way, such as shutting off a specific valve or avoiding the use of certain fixtures. For homes in Murray and nearby communities, we factor in traffic patterns and weather so we can give you a realistic time frame for arrival instead of vague estimates. Once on-site, we take a few minutes to listen to your description of what happened before we start work, which helps us narrow down likely causes and choose the right approach more quickly.

As we move through the repair, we explain what we are doing in plain language so you can follow along and ask questions. When possible, we point out any early warning signs you might watch for in the future, such as recurring slow drains or unusual sounds in your pipes. This way, a late-night emergency call also becomes a chance to better understand your plumbing system and make informed choices about maintenance or upgrades later on.

Common Emergency Plumbing Services in Murray

Emergency plumbing involves more than major floods or sewer backups. Many of the calls we receive in Murray and throughout the Wasatch Front begin as small issues that quickly become larger, more expensive repairs if left unaddressed.

Common emergency plumbing services include:

• Burst or frozen pipe repairs
• Sewer line backups and drain blockages
• Water heater leaks and sudden failures
• Overflowing toilets and clogged drains
• Sump pump repairs and replacements
• Main water shutoff valve repairs
• Pressure-reducing valve (PRV) repairs
• Major plumbing leaks causing water damage

Seasonal weather often plays a role in plumbing emergencies. Winter temperatures can freeze exposed pipes in basements, crawl spaces, and garages, while spring runoff and summer storms can overwhelm floor drains, sewer systems, and sump pumps.

Older plumbing systems may also experience sudden failures, including leaking fixtures, faulty shutoff valves, or pressure-reducing valves that disrupt water service to the entire home or business.

When you contact Big Brothers Home Services, our priority is to stop the immediate problem, minimize water damage, and restore safe plumbing service. Once the emergency is under control, we'll explain any recommended repairs or upgrades to help prevent future issues.

What To Do Before Your Plumber Arrives

Those first few minutes after discovering a leak or backup can feel chaotic, but a few simple steps can make a big difference in limiting damage before help arrives. Taking calm, practical action while you wait gives us a better starting point and often reduces the amount of cleanup or repair needed later. You do not need special tools or training to make a meaningful impact during this window.

Here are some helpful actions to take while you wait for our team:

• Shut off the water if it is safe to reach the nearest valve or the main shutoff.
• Unplug or move electronics and belongings away from the affected area.
• Avoid using fixtures that feed into a clogged drain or sewer line.
• Lay down towels or buckets to catch dripping or pooling water.
• Keep family members and pets away from standing water or suspected sewage.

If you are unsure where your main shutoff valve is located, this is a good time to make a mental note for the future. In many Murray properties, the valve is found in the basement near where the water line enters from the street, near the water heater, or in a mechanical room. Taking a moment on a calm day to locate it can save valuable time during a real emergency. When you call us, we can also talk you through what you are seeing and suggest any additional steps that make sense for your specific layout.

Safety always comes first, especially if water is near electrical panels or outlets, or if you suspect a gas issue. In those situations, step back, keep others away from the area, and wait for professionals rather than trying to access hard-to-reach valves. Our trucks arrive equipped for a range of situations typical in the Salt Lake County area, so once we are on-site we can take over and move quickly to get your plumbing system under control.

What Qualifies as a True Plumbing Emergency?

It can sometimes be hard to tell if a drip can wait until Monday or if you need to call for help immediately. Generally, if a problem threatens your property’s structure, your family’s health, or prevents you from using basic necessities, it is time for Big Brothers Home Services to step in. We are on call 24/7 because we know that water damage does not follow a nine-to-five schedule.

Here are the most common situations that require an immediate response from our team:

• Sagging ceilings or wet spots on drywall
• Sewage smells or wastewater backing up into tubs
• Complete loss of water pressure or no water at all
• Gurgling sounds coming from your drains
• Visible flooding from a burst pipe or water heater
• Gas odors near your appliances or meter

If you are experiencing any of these issues, it is always better to be safe and have a professional take a look. A quick plumbing inspection now can prevent a small problem from turning into a major renovation project later.

In many Murray homes, even a problem that seems minor at first can quickly escalate because water travels behind walls, under flooring, and into lower levels. A slow leak under a kitchen sink, for example, can lead to mold growth or cabinet damage long before you see standing water. If you are ever unsure whether a situation counts as an emergency, calling our team gives you a chance to describe what you are seeing and get clear insight about your options. We would rather walk you through a non-urgent issue than have you wait and face a larger repair later.

Some emergencies are tied to Utah’s seasonal shifts, such as frozen outdoor lines in winter or heavy rain overwhelming older drain systems. During these times, plumbing systems are under extra stress, and early action matters even more. By reaching out for Murray emergency plumbing services when you first notice warning signs—like inconsistent hot water, recurring sewer odors, or multiple slow drains—you give us a chance to step in before the problem disrupts daily routines for your household or business.

Why Murray & the Wasatch Front Trust Our Emergency Plumbers

Dealing with a plumbing failure is stressful enough without having to worry about who is entering your home. At Big Brothers Home Services, we prioritize your safety by sending out licensed, insured professionals who genuinely care about the community. We also know that emergencies are rarely budgeted for, which is why we offer flexible financing and payment plans.

When you call us, you are not just a job number; you are a neighbor who deserves the very best care we can provide. We stand behind our work and keep going until your home is functioning properly and your family is back to their routine.

Because we serve the Wasatch Front every day, many of our technicians live in the same neighborhoods where they work. That local connection means we are invested in long-term relationships, not quick, one-time jobs. Customers often request the same technician again because they remember familiar faces, clear communication, and respectful treatment of their homes. Over time, that familiarity helps us spot patterns in your plumbing system more quickly and recommend practical solutions that fit how you actually use your space.

Our team is also trained across plumbing, drain, and sewer work, as well as heating, cooling, and electrical systems. During an emergency visit, if we notice a related concern—such as a water heater issue tied to electrical components or a leak affecting your furnace area—we can flag it and explain your options instead of leaving you to coordinate with multiple companies. For property managers and business owners along the Wasatch Front, having one responsive team that can address several systems reduces stress and helps keep buildings operating smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Fast Can Someone Get To My Home During a Plumbing Emergency?

Response time depends on factors like call volume, time of day, and road conditions along the Wasatch Front, but emergency calls are always treated as a priority. When you call, the team will let you know the current estimated arrival window based on your location and the nearest available technician. They will also suggest any simple steps you can take while you wait so that precious minutes are not lost.

Do You Offer Emergency Plumbing Help on Weekends and Holidays?

Emergency plumbing issues do not pause for weekends or holidays, so service availability is structured to reflect that reality. If a pipe bursts on a Sunday or a water heater fails on a holiday morning, you can still call to reach someone who can dispatch help. The goal is to restore essential plumbing functions as quickly and safely as possible, regardless of the calendar.

Will You Be Able To Fix the Problem in One Visit?

Many emergency situations can be stabilized and repaired in a single visit because trucks are stocked with common parts and tools. In some cases, especially with specialty fixtures or larger projects, an initial visit focuses on stopping active damage and getting critical systems working again. Any additional work that requires ordered parts or more extensive planning will be clearly explained so you know what the next steps look like.

Can You Help If My Emergency Involves Both Plumbing and Another System?

It is common for a plumbing problem to affect heating, cooling, or electrical components, especially in basements and mechanical rooms. Because the same company also handles HVAC and electrical work, related issues can be identified and discussed during the visit. That coordination helps you avoid juggling multiple contractors while you are already dealing with an urgent situation.
