What Is Considered a Plumbing Emergency for Homeowners?

A plumbing emergency is any issue causing active water damage or loss of essential service. Common examples include a burst or frozen pipe, an uncontrollable leak, a sewer or main-line backup, no water to the home, or a water heater leaking or failing. Suspected gas line problems are also emergencies. Gold Star offers 24/7 emergency response and same-day service across Long Island, including Garden City, NY.
