How Much Does an Emergency Plumber Cost?

The cost of emergency plumbing service depends on the severity of the problem, the complexity of the necessary repairs, the dispatch time, and any specific replacement parts required. For example, a quick shut-off or a localized pipe patch will naturally cost less than an intensive middle-of-the-night sewer line clearing, or cutting into a wall to replace a burst supply line. 

Emergency jobs in our area can range from around $150 to several hundred dollars or more. We believe you shouldn’t have to worry about surprise fees during a crisis, which is why we provide free, upfront estimates so you know what to expect. With transparent pricing and flexible financing options available, we make it easy to invest in the repairs you need today without additional stress tomorrow. 

How Do I Turn Off My Home’s Main Water Shut-Off Valve?

If water is actively leaking, shutting off the supply can help limit further damage while you wait for our professionals to arrive. The main valve is usually located where the water line enters the home, such as near a foundation wall, utility area, basement, crawlspace, or meter.

Here are some simple steps you can take: 

  1. Find the main shut-off valve. Look near the point where the water service enters your home.
  2. Turn the valve off. Turn a wheel clockwise until it stops. A lever-style valve typically needs a quarter-turn, so the handle is perpendicular to the pipe.
  3. Open a faucet. This can relieve pressure and drain some water from the lines.
  4. Call Dittmer Plumbing. Once the water is off, we can locate the source of the problem and determine what repair is needed.

If you can’t locate the valve or safely reach it, don’t put yourself at risk. Call (660) 251-1177 for rapid support. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to take your call.
