Our Services
When water is running where it should not be, you need an emergency plumber in Carson City, NV, who actually picks up. A real person answers at Bighorn Plumbing 24 hours a day, and same-day service is available. Contact Bighorn Plumbing and we will tell you what to shut off while we get you scheduled.
When a Plumbing Problem Becomes an Emergency
- Burst or actively spraying pipe
- Sewage backing up indoors
- No water anywhere in the house
- Gas odor near a line or appliance
- Water heater leaking heavily
If water is spreading or you smell gas, shut off the supply first and then call. A real person answers at Bighorn Plumbing 24 hours a day, so you are not leaving a voicemail while the floor gets wetter.
Anything actively causing damage, creating a health risk, or leaving the house without water counts as urgent. When you are unsure, describe it to the person who answers and let them tell you whether it can wait until morning.
ELEVATING PEACE OF MIND Emergency Response
Urgent Plumbing Failures We Respond To
Burst and frozen lines lead the list in Northern Nevada. A cold snap freezes water in an unheated crawlspace or exterior wall, the ice expands, and the line splits when it thaws, which turns into pipe leak repair the moment the water comes back on.
Sewer backups are the other common call. A blocked main pushes wastewater back through the lowest drain in the house, usually a basement floor drain or a ground-floor shower.
Water heater failures turn urgent fast. A leaking tank can put dozens of gallons on the floor, and a dead unit leaves a household without hot water for washing or cooking.
Overflowing drains round out the list. When a fixture backs up faster than it drains, the blockage usually sits further down the line than a plunger reaches, and emergency drain cleaning clears it before wastewater reaches your flooring.
Gas problems are the ones not to wait on. If you smell gas, leave the building and call from outside, then let a licensed plumber handle the gas line locate and repair.

- Live intake. A real person takes your call, any hour, and identifies what is failing.

Steps to Take Before Your Plumber Arrives
A few minutes of action before we arrive can cut the damage considerably.
- Shut off the main water valve
- Turn off the water heater
- Move furniture and boxes clear
- Photograph the damage for insurance
- Leave the building if you smell gas
Do what you safely can and leave the rest to us. Our plumber picks up from wherever you got it stopped and handles the plumbing repair from there.
What Emergency Repairs Cost
There is no flat emergency rate, because a failed shutoff valve and a collapsed sewer main are not the same job. Price follows what failed, how accessible it is, and what the repair takes to do correctly.
What does not change is that you see the number first. A licensed plumber diagnoses the problem, presents your repair options, and gives you an upfront price before starting. Payment is handled on site when the work is done.
You also get options rather than one take-it-or-leave-it figure. An emergency is stressful enough without a plumber deciding your budget for you.
Water damage is the cost nobody quotes. Every hour a line runs unchecked adds to the flooring, drywall, and cabinetry bill, so the fastest way to control the total is to stop the water and get a plumber on the schedule.
