Emergency Plumbing Repairs - We Answer Fast When You Need Help Now

Burst pipe? Flooding basement? Water spraying everywhere? Express Plumbing handles emergency plumbing repairs across Lake Saint Louis, Wentzville, O'Fallon, and St Charles County. We answer 24/7, arrive fast, and fix it right. Licensed master plumber with 26 years experience. Call (314) 807-8460 — we're on our way.

Not every plumbing problem needs fixed at 2 AM, but some can't wait. A burst pipe spraying water into your basement is an emergency. A water heater leaking all over your garage floor is an emergency. A toilet overflowing and flooding your bathroom is an emergency. A backed-up sewer line that's pushing sewage into your home is an emergency. These are the calls where every minute counts, and that's when you need a plumber who picks up the phone and gets moving.

We've been handling emergency plumbing calls across Lake Saint Louis and the surrounding areas since 1999. We know what a real emergency looks like, and we know how to fix it fast. Most of the time, we're on-site within an hour or two — sometimes faster if we're already in your area. We carry parts on the truck so we can fix most problems same-visit instead of making you wait days for a callback. When you call (314) 807-8460, you're talking to us directly — not some answering service that takes a message. We answer, we ask what's happening, and we head your way.

WHY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE Express Plumbing for Emergency Plumbing Repairs

We're Available 24/7 With No Extra Charges.

When you call Express Plumbing at 3 AM because your basement's flooding, we answer. We don't send you to voicemail or tell you to call back during business hours. We pick up the phone, ask what's happening, and we're on our way. And here's the thing — we charge the same rate whether you call Tuesday at noon or Saturday at midnight. No "emergency fee." No extra charges for nights, weekends, or holidays. Some plumbers will tack on an extra $150–$200 for after-hours calls. We think that's wrong. You're already dealing with a mess and you shouldn't get hit with extra fees on top of it.

We Get There Fast and We're Ready to Work

Most emergency calls in Lake Saint Louis, Wentzville, O'Fallon, and St Peters get a plumber on-site within an hour or two. We're based in Lake St Louis, which means we're not driving 45 minutes just to get to your area. We keep our trucks fully stocked with common parts — pipes, fittings, valves, seals — so we can fix most emergencies same-visit. We're not showing up just to look at the problem and then telling you we'll be back in three days with the part we need. We show up ready to work and we don't leave until it's fixed.

26 Years of Emergency Plumbing Experience

We've been handling emergency plumbing calls since 1999. That's over two decades of burst pipes, backed-up sewers, failed water heaters, and every other plumbing disaster you can imagine. We've seen it all. That experience matters because when you're dealing with an emergency, you don't want someone who's guessing or learning on your dime. We know how to diagnose the problem fast, we know what it'll take to fix it, and we know how to do it without tearing apart more than we need to. We've handled emergencies in old homes with outdated systems and new homes with modern plumbing. Whatever you've got, we've fixed it before.

Licensed, Insured, and We Know Local Code

Jim's a licensed master plumber in St Charles County, St Louis County, and the City of St Louis. We carry full liability insurance and workers' comp, which protects you if something goes wrong. When we fix an emergency, we do it to code. That means if permits are required, we pull them. If inspections are needed, our work passes the first time. A lot of "emergency plumbers" will patch things together just to stop the immediate problem, but then you're stuck dealing with it again later or paying someone else to redo it properly. We fix it right the first time.

Our Simple 3-STEP Emergency Plumbing Repairs PROCESS

1

Call and We Answer Immediately

When you call (314) 807-8460, you're talking to us — not a recording, not an answering service. We answer 24/7. We ask what's happening so we know what to expect when we get there. If there's something you can do to minimize damage while we're on the way (like shutting off the main water valve), we'll walk you through it. We tell you when to expect us and we get moving.

2

We Arrive, Assess, and Stop the Damage

First thing we do is stop the immediate problem. If water's spraying, we shut it off. If a sewer line's backing up, we start clearing it. Once the emergency is under control, we assess what needs fixed and tell you what it'll cost. Most of the time we can give you a price right there. If you're good with it, we get to work. If something unexpected comes up once we're into it, we stop and talk to you first.

3

We Fix It and Make Sure It's Done Right

We use quality parts and we follow code. Most emergency repairs take a few hours once we're on-site. Bigger jobs like water heater replacements might take half a day. Either way, we don't leave until it's working properly. We test everything, clean up the mess, and make sure you understand what we did. If there's anything you should watch for or maintain going forward, we'll tell you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

How fast can you get here for a plumbing emergency?

We're usually on-site within an hour or two for emergency calls in Lake Saint Louis, Wentzville, O'Fallon, and St Peters. If we're already working nearby, sometimes we can get there in 30–45 minutes. For areas further out like Chesterfield, Ballwin, or Florissant, it might take a bit longer depending on traffic. Call (314) 807-8460 and we'll tell you exactly when to expect us.

Do you charge extra for emergency calls at night or on weekends?

No. We charge the same rate whether you call at 10 AM on a Tuesday or midnight on Saturday. No emergency fees. No after-hours surcharges. The price is the price. We think charging extra when people are already dealing with a flood or a sewage backup is wrong, so we don't do it.

What should I do while I'm waiting for you to arrive?

If you've got a burst pipe or water spraying, try to shut off the main water valve if you know where it is. That'll stop more water from flooding your home. If it's a backed-up toilet, don't keep flushing it — you'll just make it worse. If your water heater is leaking, shut off the water supply to the heater if you can. Move anything valuable away from the water. We'll walk you through anything else over the phone when you call.

Can you fix most emergencies same-visit or do I have to wait for parts?

We fix most emergencies same-visit. We keep common parts on the truck — pipes, fittings, valves, seals, toilet components. If it's something unusual that we don't carry, we'll tell you upfront and get the part as fast as possible. But the majority of emergency calls get fixed the same day we show up.

What if the emergency happens in the middle of the night?

Call us. We answer 24/7, including the middle of the night. We've taken emergency calls at 2 AM, 4 AM, doesn't matter. If you've got water flooding your basement at 3 in the morning, that can't wait until 9 AM when most plumbers open. We'll answer, we'll ask what's happening, and we'll head your way.
