Our Emergency Plumbing Services

We specialize in high-stakes plumbing crises that require instant intervention:

24/7 Emergency Calls

Plumbing emergencies can happen anytime in the middle of the night, on weekends, or during holidays. Whether it’s an overflowing toilet in Port Coquitlam or a blocked sewer in New Westminster, we’re always on call.

Pipe Bursts

Frozen weather, aging materials, or accidental damage can cause pipes to burst and send water into your home or business. We provide same-day repairs and Poly-B pipe replacement to stop the problem at its source.

Flooding and Water Leaks

Sewer backups and blocked drains need immediate attention to prevent contamination and damage. Our team offers emergency drain cleaning in Chilliwack, hydro jetting service in Surrey, and camera inspection plumbing in Aldergrove to diagnose and clear the issue quickly.

Poly-B Pipe Issues

Poly-B piping is notorious for failing over time. We replace Poly-B with modern, durable materials that protect your home from hidden leaks and catastrophic failures.

Clogged Toilets

Clogged toilets are typically evidence of clogged drain lines or septic system problems. We go after the cause—not the symptom—of the issue, and we restore your plumbing faster than ever.

Hot Water Tank Repairs and Installation

No hot water? We provide 24/7 hot water tank repairs in Vancouver and same-day hot water tank installations in the City of Langley to restore comfort.

Sump Pump Failure

A malfunctioning sump pump can flood a basement in a matter of seconds. We inspect, replace, and fix your pump to avoid further water damage and mold.

Leaky Fixtures or Appliances

From leaky faucets to busted washing machine hoses, we fix leaks where they happen before they result in mold, damage to floors, or higher water bills.

Clogged Utility Drains

If your utility room drain is clogged with dirt, soil and other debris or you are experiencing drainage problems in your basement, we have the solution!

Our 4-Step Emergency Response Process

When a plumbing crisis hits, every second counts. Gator Plumbing & Drainage has developed a streamlined emergency protocol to stabilize your home and minimize expensive water damage. From the moment you call, we follow these four steps to get your life back to normal.

1
Rapid Dispatch & Guidance
The moment you call our 24/7 emergency line, our dispatchers act. While a technician is being routed to your location in the Lower Mainland or Fraser Valley, we provide immediate over-the-phone instructions to help you shut off your water and gas, preventing the situation from getting worse before we arrive.
2
Immediate Containment & Isolation
Upon arrival, our first priority is to stop the damage. We locate the source of the leak or backup and isolate it immediately. If your basement is flooded, we deploy high-volume extraction pumps to remove standing water and prevent it from wicking into your walls and foundation.
3
Precision Repair & Diagnosis
Once the site is safe, we use advanced diagnostic tools—like thermal imaging or sewer cameras—to identify the exact cause of the failure. We provide an upfront, flat-rate quote for the repair. Whether it’s a burst pipe or a failed sump pump, we carry the most common parts on our trucks to perform the fix on the spot.
4
Mitigation & Safety Check
We don’t just "fix and fly." After the repair is complete, we perform a safety inspection of the affected area to ensure no electrical hazards exist and that the pressure in your system is stabilized. We also provide professional advice on drying and sanitization to prevent mold growth, ensuring your home is safe for your family.
