A plumbing emergency is any issue that could cause serious damage, health risks, or loss of essential services if not handled immediately. This includes burst pipes, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, gas leaks, water heater failures, and complete water loss. These problems can lead to flooding, structural damage, and even mold growth within hours.
If you’re ever unsure, it’s best to treat it as an emergency and call Lion Plumbing at (540) 607-5713 for fast help anywhere in Charlotte or surrounding areas like Matthews and Concord.
Our Charlotte-based team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. When you call (540) 607-5713, we immediately dispatch the nearest plumber to your location.
In most cases, we can arrive within 30 to 60 minutes depending on your distance from our service hub. We know every minute counts, so we stay stocked and ready to repair leaks, replace pipes, or stop flooding on the spot.
If it’s safe to do so, shut off your main water supply valve — usually located near the water meter or where the main line enters your home.
Next, turn off your water heater to avoid damage from heat buildup. If there’s an electrical hazard, shut off power in that area.
Then, try to contain the water using towels or buckets and wait for our licensed plumber to arrive. Our technician will handle the rest once on-site.
We believe in honest, transparent pricing, even for late-night calls. You’ll always receive a written or verbal quote before any work begins, with no hidden or after-hour fees.
