Ignoring a leak can have serious consequences for your home and wallet. Here’s why timely Emergency Plumbings matter:
Leaks can weaken floors, walls, and even the foundation of your home if left unchecked.
Even a slow drip can waste thousands of gallons of water per year, driving up your utility costs.
Excess moisture creates the perfect breeding ground for harmful mold and bacteria, which can lead to health issues.
Leaks can put extra stress on your plumbing system, leading to more frequent breakdowns.
Not all leaks are obvious. Here are some common warning signs:
A sudden spike in usage without any major lifestyle changes could indicate a hidden leak.
If your water flow suddenly drops, a hidden leak in your pipes may be to blame.
Yellow or brown stains on ceilings, walls, or floors often point to plumbing leaks.
If you hear water running when all fixtures are off, you may have a hidden leak.
Damp areas promote mold growth, leading to an unpleasant smell and potential health concerns.
Long-term water exposure can weaken your home’s structure, causing cracks and instability.

Plumbing emergencies can happen at any hour and without warning. Waterway Plumbing & Drain Cleaning responds to every type of urgent plumbing situation across Fort Myers, Cape Coral, North Fort Myers, and Southwest Florida. Our licensed plumbers arrive equipped to diagnose and resolve your emergency on the first visit.
A burst pipe can release hundreds of gallons of water per hour into your home. Southwest Florida’s hard water and aging galvanized pipes make burst pipes a common emergency, especially in older Fort Myers neighborhoods. We locate the break, shut off the water supply, and complete the repair\u2014often within the same visit. We also handle frozen pipe emergencies for snowbird properties that have been left unoccupied.
Raw sewage backing up through floor drains, toilets, or bathtubs is both a health hazard and a property damage emergency. Tree root intrusion is the leading cause in Fort Myers and Cape Coral, where mature landscaping sends roots directly into clay and cast iron sewer lines. We use sewer camera inspection to pinpoint the blockage and hydro-jetting or mechanical clearing to restore flow.
A leaking or failed water heater can flood your garage, utility room, or interior closet in minutes. Tank corrosion from Southwest Florida’s hard water is the most common cause. We provide same-day water heater replacement when your unit cannot be repaired, with tank and tankless options available from Rheem, A.O. Smith, Bradford White, and Rinnai.
If you smell rotten eggs or hear hissing near a gas appliance, leave the home immediately and call us. We are licensed for gas line detection, repair, and new installations. Gas leaks require immediate professional response\u2014never attempt to locate or repair a gas leak yourself.
Slab leaks occur when pipes beneath your home’s concrete foundation develop cracks or pinholes. Warning signs include unexplained hot spots on floors, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, and sudden spikes in your water bill. Our electronic leak detection equipment pinpoints slab leaks without destructive excavation.
Taking the right steps before your plumber arrives can prevent thousands of dollars in water damage. Here is what we recommend for Fort Myers homeowners facing a plumbing emergency:
Our average response time for Fort Myers and North Fort Myers emergency calls is under 45 minutes. Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Lehigh Acres, and Estero typically see response times under 60 minutes. Our home base is in North Fort Myers, giving us fast highway access to all of Lee County.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work\u2014even on emergency calls. There are no hidden fees, overtime surcharges, or surprise charges. The cost depends on the type and severity of the emergency. Simple repairs like a burst supply line may cost less than major work like a sewer line replacement. We always explain your options and get approval before proceeding.
Any plumbing situation that risks property damage, health hazards, or leaves you without essential water service is an emergency. Common examples include burst pipes, sewer backups, gas leaks, overflowing toilets that cannot be stopped, water heater leaks flooding your home, and complete loss of water supply. If you are unsure, call us\u2014we will help you determine the urgency and next steps.
We are available 24/7/365 for true plumbing emergencies. Call (239) 471-5068 any time\u2014our emergency dispatch team will get a licensed plumber to your door as quickly as possible.
We recommend limiting your actions to shutting off the water supply and containing damage (see our steps above). Attempting DIY repairs on burst pipes, gas lines, or sewer backups can worsen the problem, create safety hazards, or void your homeowner’s insurance coverage. Licensed plumbers carry the tools, parts, and expertise to resolve emergencies safely on the first visit.
