A pipe that has split
A supply pipe stays under pressure day and night, so a crack does not stop leaking by itself. Our plumber removes the cracked piece, fits a new length in its place and looks over the joints on either side.

Problems that need a plumber now
Sewage backing up
If flushing upstairs sends dirty water into the basement floor drain or the tub, something is blocking the line below them. The plumber opens it up and may send a camera in afterward to see what stopped it.
A toilet running over
A toilet that keeps filling past the rim has a blocked trap or a failed fill valve. We clear the blockage or replace the valve so the bowl and tank work as they should.
Water around the heater
Rust-colored water at the floor drain, a damp ring around the base or a steady drip from the relief valve pipe tells the plumber where to look. A worn fitting or valve can be replaced, but a tank leaking through its own wall cannot.
Dry taps after a freeze
Turn a handle on a freezing morning and get nothing, and ice has closed a supply pipe somewhere cold, maybe behind an outside wall. The plumber tracks down that stretch, warms it back to flowing and looks it over for cracks.
Winter nights in Passaic
Passaic’s average January low is 26°F, and its thermometer reads 32°F or colder on roughly 80 days in a year. That is enough cold to reach a spigot line, a pipe in the garage or crawl space, or plumbing that runs along an exterior wall.
Want a rating for your own house? Open the pipe freeze risk checker, choose the town and say where the pipes run, and it scores the exposure from those two answers.
Once the water is under control
The plumber explains what failed and what a lasting repair involves. If the fix turns into a bigger job, such as a new water heater or a run of new pipe, you hear about it and decide before any of that work goes ahead.
Frequently asked questions
Should I still call if a leak has stopped by itself?
Yes. A leak that stops can mean the water found a new path into a wall, ceiling or floor. A plumber can trace where it went and check the pipe that failed.
Is one slow drain an emergency?
Not quite. One slow sink can wait for a drain cleaning visit, but several fixtures backing up at once, or sewage in a floor drain, points to the main line and needs attention now.
