What counts as a plumbing emergency

If water is flooding in, sewage is backing up, you have lost all water, or you smell gas, that is an emergency, and waiting until morning can mean thousands in damage. The first move is almost always to shut off the water (or gas) and call a plumber who actually answers. When you call Clarksburg Plumbing, a real neighbor picks up 24/7, walks you through what to do right now, and gets a stocked truck headed your way, anywhere in Clarksburg and Montgomery County.

Right now

Before we arrive, what to do

A few quick steps can limit the damage while we are on the way.

1

Shut off the water

Find your main shut-off valve and close it to stop the flooding at the source.

2

Kill power if needed

If water is near outlets or your electrical panel, shut off power to that area safely.

3

Smell gas? Leave

Get everyone out, do not flip switches or light anything, and call from outside.

4

Call us

Call (301) 972 2223. A real neighbor will guide you and send help right away.

When to call now

Don't wait if you see this

Some problems can wait for a scheduled visit. These cannot, call us right away.

Water pouring or pooling fast

If water is flooding in and you cannot stop it at the fixture, shut the main and call now.

Sewage smell or backup

Sewage in tubs, toilets, or floor drains is a health hazard that needs immediate help.

No water anywhere

A whole-house loss of water, often a well, pump, or main line issue, is an emergency.

A leak you can't stop

A steady leak you cannot shut off at the valve will keep causing damage until we arrive.

Rotten egg gas smell

A sulfur or gas smell means leave the home, call the gas utility, then call us.

No heat or hot water in a freeze

In freezing Maryland weather, no heat or hot water can lead to frozen, bursting pipes.

Got an emergency right now? We're standing by.

Local conditions

Maryland emergencies we see most

Our weather, soils, and well systems create a few emergencies we handle again and again.

Frozen & Burst Pipes

Maryland cold snaps freeze and split pipes in walls, crawlspaces, and unheated areas, then flood when they thaw.

Storm Sump Failures

Heavy rain plus power outages overwhelm or kill sump pumps, flooding basements across the county.

Sewer Backups & Well Failures

Saturated ground backs up sewers, and well pumps and tanks fail, cutting off water to the whole home.

Be ready before it happens

Know this before an emergency

A little prep makes a flood or freeze far less costly. Most Montgomery County homes are on WSSC water, while many in Clarksburg, Damascus, and Poolesville are on private wells, so knowing your setup matters when seconds count.

  • Find your main water shut-off valve now, before you need it
  • Keep pipes in unheated areas insulated for Maryland winters
  • Add a battery backup to your sump pump before storm season
  • Save our number so a real neighbor is one tap away, 24/7
24/7, day or night

A real neighbor answers

No call center, no robot. Call any hour and a real person helps you right away and gets a truck moving.

Highly recommend John Brown from Clarksburg Plumbing LLC! Yesterday John flushed and descaled our tankless water heater. We've gotten used to waiting and waiting for service people. That's not the case with John. He arrived pleasantly early for both the initial visit (for a no-cost estimate) and for the actual service call. He was personable, knowledgeable, and very patient with our many questions. He really helped us understand the ins and outs of this new-to-us technology of tankless water heaters. We're already recommending him to our neighbors!

I had Clarksburg Plumbing come out for a minor home plumbing repair. Seth and Maddie were on time, friendly, and professional. They provided a free estimate, and I went ahead with the repair. The repairs took just under 2 hours and I was completely satisfied with the service. I will definitely use Clarksburg Plumbing again in the future. Thanks, Seth and Maddie!

I recently used Clarksburg Plumbing for a condo repair of my main water turnoff valve and my outside hose bib. It required coordination with DC Water and the condo, and Clarksburg was extremely helpful, professional, and patient in the process. They came out a few times to evaluate and troubleshoot the issues, and then ultimately performed/made the repairs. Garrett and John Brown were the first to help, both very kind, knowledgable and highly skilled, and then Pablo (along with apprentice Tevon) made the final repairs. Not only did they do a great job, explaining everything to me in the process and checking after the water was restored to the condo, they also helped out one of the other owners that was having a sudden, luckily minor issue, as well. It’s a relief to know that I finally have a plumbing company that I can rely on for any future issues.

We had a fire at our house 3-Jul-2025. Our contractor used Clarksburg Plumbing for all of our plumbing needs as we rebuilt our house. Pablo was with us from the beginning until all work on the house was completed a year later. Pablo was the lead plumber from Clarksburg Plumbing. He worked on the plumbing rough-in in December through February this past winter in bitter cold through the end of July 2026 when work was finally completed. Pablo quietly does his work. It’s clear that he is very skilled but he is not arrogant in any way. Rather, he is very engaging, takes suggestions under consideration and employs them as warranted, and is always kind even when I interrupt his work. Pablo represents Clarksburg Plumbing very well. It was my pleasure working with Pablo.

Properly identified the source of my leak after multiple other plumbers/companies couldn’t figure it out. Were thorough in explaining what they were doing, how they arrived to their determination, and gave advice on how to proceed with next steps that were outside their scope of operations. Thanks Pablo and Tevon

We had a severe blockage in our kitchen sink drain, causing water to back up into both the sink and the dishwasher. Seth and Brady arrived on time, quickly identified the issue, and did an excellent job clearing the kitchen drain. They also fixed the dishwasher drain line, which is now working perfectly. They were professional, efficient, and courteous throughout the process. I highly recommend them to anyone needing plumbing services.

Maryland emergencies

Emergency plumbing FAQ

Real answers for the emergencies Maryland homeowners actually face.

Shut off your main water valve right away so a thawing pipe does not flood the house, and do not thaw pipes with an open flame. Open a faucet to relieve pressure, then call us. We locate frozen and burst pipes, repair them, and help you prevent it next winter.

Yes. Storm outages are exactly when sump pumps quit and basements flood. We respond 24/7 to get the water out and your pump working, and we can add a battery backup so the next storm does not catch you off guard.

Absolutely. Many homes around Clarksburg, Damascus, and Poolesville are on private wells, and a failed well pump or pressure tank means no water at all. We diagnose and repair well systems day or night to restore your water.

Stop running water immediately so you do not add to the backup, keep everyone away from the contaminated area, and call us. Saturated ground and root intrusion cause backups across Montgomery County, and we clear the line and camera it to find the cause.

If water is flooding in, yes, shut it off. WSSC-served homes usually have a main valve where the line enters the house, often near the water meter or front foundation wall, while well homes have a valve near the pressure tank. If you are not sure, call and we will talk you through it.

We give you clear, upfront pricing before any work begins, so you always approve the cost first. Call any hour and we will tell you exactly what to expect, no surprises.

Because we are based right here and our crews cover Montgomery County every day, we can usually reach most towns quickly, and a real neighbor answers 24/7 to get a stocked truck moving the moment you call.

Treat it as urgent. Leave the home, do not flip switches or light anything, and call your gas utility’s emergency line from outside, then call us. We handle gas line leaks and repairs 24/7.
