Plumbing emergencies don't follow a schedule. When a pipe bursts at 2am in Quincy, your basement floods on a Sunday in Hingham, or your heat dies during a Braintree winter storm — AJM Plumbing & Heating is the South Shore emergency plumber you call. We're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Emergency Plumbing Services We Handle
No plumbing emergency is too big or too urgent. We respond fast to all emergency situations across the South Shore including:
- Burst or frozen pipes — the most common winter emergency in Massachusetts
- Basement or home flooding from plumbing failures
- Complete loss of heat (boiler or heating system failure)
- Sewage backup or main drain blockage
- Major water leaks — ceiling, wall, or pipe leaks
- Water heater failure or leaks
- No hot water — especially critical in winter months
- Gas leak concerns (call 911 first, then us)
- Toilet overflow or sewage-related backups
What to Do in a Plumbing Emergency
While you wait for AJM to arrive, here are steps that can help minimize damage:
- Shut off the main water valve — usually near your water meter or where the main line enters your home
- Turn off the water heater — prevents damage to the unit if water supply is cut
- Don't use electrical switches if there's water near electrical panels or outlets
- Take photos of any visible damage for insurance purposes
- Call (781) 853-1310 — we'll walk you through any immediate steps while we're en route
