24/7 plumbing emergencies handled fast

From Southdowns to Shenandoah and Mid City to Perkins Rowe, Baton Rouge homes rely on plumbing systems that work. When something fails, minutes matter. Our emergency plumbing services cover:

• Burst or leaking pipes – Immediate shutoff, repair, and water mitigation to prevent structural damage.
• Overflowing toilets and drains – Quick snaking or jetting to stop backups before they spread.
• No hot water or heater leaks – Same-day diagnosis for tank and tankless units.
• Sewer backups or foul odors – Camera inspection to locate and clear obstructions safely.
• Gas leaks and water line breaks – Permitted, code-compliant repairs for safety-critical issues.

Our technicians arrive with stocked trucks to handle most repairs immediately — no waiting for “parts next week.”

What to do before your plumber arrives

Knowing what to do in those first few minutes can make a huge difference. If you’re facing a major leak, follow these quick steps before we arrive:

• Turn off your home’s main water supply — usually near the street or meter box.
• Shut off the water heater to prevent pressure damage or electrical risk.
• Avoid using sinks or toilets if water is backing up — this prevents sewage exposure.
• Move valuables or electronics away from flooded areas.
• Take a few photos for insurance documentation if safe to do so.

Then, call (225) 276-4367 and our dispatcher will send a nearby technician immediately. We’ll guide you step-by-step on the phone until help arrives.

Local expertise in Baton Rouge neighborhoods

We know the plumbing systems that make up Baton Rouge’s diverse mix of homes — from classic Mid City cottages to modern builds off Bluebonnet Boulevard. Many neighborhoods use older galvanized water lines or cast-iron drains prone to corrosion and leaks. Our licensed plumbers carry equipment to handle both emergency and preventive repairs in these areas:

When is it considered a plumbing emergency?

Any situation that risks property damage, contamination, or safety counts as an emergency. If water is spreading, gas is leaking, or drains are backing up — don’t wait. Quick action saves thousands in repairs.

Examples of true emergencies

• Active leaks from pipes, ceilings, or walls
• No running water or sudden loss of pressure
• Gas smell or carbon monoxide alarm triggered
• Overflowing toilets and sewage exposure
• Water heater failure in cold months

Our team provides transparent pricing upfront — even at 2 AM. We never inflate rates or add surprise fees. You’ll know your total before work begins.

Preventing the next emergency

Once the crisis is over, we’ll help you prevent future surprises. Many emergencies start as small, hidden issues — slow drains, minor drips, or pressure fluctuations. Jake’s Pros offers preventive maintenance that catches problems early:

• Camera inspections for main line blockages
• Pressure tests to detect weak joints or valves
• Annual water heater service to avoid leaks and energy waste
• Whole-home shutoff valve upgrades for faster emergency control

We serve Baton Rouge, Denham Springs, and surrounding parishes, helping homeowners stay one step ahead of plumbing failures.
