Emergency Plumbing Denver
Fast, Reliable Service When You Need It Most - Proudly Serving Fort Collins, Commerce City, and Surrounding Areas
Water leaks, burst pipes, and backed-up toilets don't follow a 9-to-5 schedule. When these plumbing disasters hit your Denver home, you need a plumbing company that answers your call at any hour. Allen Service provides true 24/7 emergency plumbing service for Denver homeowners facing urgent water problems.
Our emergency plumbing team stays on call every day of the year, including weekends and holidays. We understand that water damage gets worse with every passing minute, which is why we've designed our emergency response system to get skilled plumbers to your door as quickly as possible. When you call our emergency line, you'll speak with a real person who will send the closest available technician to your home, typically arriving within 60-90 minutes in most Denver neighborhoods.
Understanding Emergency vs. Standard Service Calls
Not every plumbing problem requires a middle-of-the-night service call. Knowing the difference between a true emergency and an issue that can wait until morning helps you make smart decisions about when to pay for emergency service.
True plumbing emergencies typically involve:
- Active water leaks that can't be stopped by turning off a local shutoff valve
- Sewage backups entering your home
- Completely frozen plumbing systems
- No water throughout your entire house
- Water heater failures that create flooding
- Burst pipes
Problems that usually can wait for standard business hours include:
- Dripping faucets
- Slow drains that still function
- Minor toilet clogs (when you have another working toilet)
- Water heater issues that aren't causing leaks
- Low water pressure problems
- Fixture replacements
6 Signs of a Plumbing Emergency
Recognizing a true plumbing emergency helps you act fast when every minute counts. Watch for these critical warning signsin your Denver home:
- Standing water or active leaks - Water pooling on floors, ceilings, or walls indicates an active leak that needs immediate attention. This situation worsens quickly and can cause structural damage.
- No water throughout your home - When all faucets stop working simultaneously, you may have a main line problem or serious plumbing failure that requires emergency repair.
- Sewage backup - Foul-smelling water coming up through drains, especially in basements or lower fixtures, signals a dangerous sewage problem. This creates both property damage and health hazards.
- Burst pipes - Common during Denver's freezing winters, burst pipes release large amounts of water rapidly. The characteristic sounds include loud popping followed by rushing water.
- Water heater flooding - A leaking tank can release 40-80 gallons of water. If you notice water surrounding your unit or hear unusual sounds, call immediately.
- Gas smell near plumbing appliances - Natural gas leaks from water heaters or other gas-connected plumbing create serious safety concerns requiring immediate professional response.
When you notice any of these warning signs, acting quickly limits damage to your home. Turn off your main water valve (typically located near your water meter) and call Allen Service right away.

A plumbing emergency typically involves situations that threaten your property with water damage or create health hazards. These include burst pipes, major leaks that can't be stopped by shutting off a local valve, sewage backups, complete drain blockages causing overflow, and no water throughout your entire house. If you're unsure, call us—we can help determine if you need immediate service.
-
Due to the after-hours nature of the work, emergency plumbing service in Denver typically costs more than regular business-hour appointments. Exact pricing depends on the specific problem, necessary repairs, and the time required to fix it. Allen Service always provides upfront pricing before beginning work, so you'll know exactly what to expect. We never surprise customers with hidden fees or charges.
-
No, you should not call 911 for plumbing emergencies. Emergency services should only be contacted if there's an immediate threat to life or safety. For plumbing emergencies, call a professional emergency plumber like Allen Service directly. However, if your plumbing issue has caused a dangerous electrical situation or if gas leaks are involved, evacuate the home and call 911 first, then contact us.
-
Act quickly to minimize damage when facing a water emergency in your Denver home. First, locate and turn off your main water valve (usually near your water meter or where the water line enters your home). Move valuable items away from water if it is safe to do so. For localized issues like an overflowing toilet, close the fixture's shutoff valve instead. Soak up standing water with towels or mops to prevent further damage. Take photos for insurance purposes if needed.
-
Denver's climate creates unique plumbing emergencies. Winter brings frozen and burst pipes during cold snaps. Spring snowmelt often causes sewer backups as the ground becomes saturated. Water heater failures spike in winter when units work harder. Other common emergencies include water line breaks, major toilet clogs causing floods, and sump pump failures during summer storms. All require immediate attention to prevent costly water damage.
