Gene's Plumbing handles emergency plumbing across Otter Lake and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Burst supply lines, sewage coming up a floor drain and a water heater that let go are the three calls that cannot wait until Monday in Otter Lake. All three are answered the same night.
Every house handles emergency plumbing a little differently depending on its age, and Otter Lake has plenty of both old and new. The fitting, the pipe material and the way the last plumber left it all change what the right repair is.
That is why the Otter Lake truck carries parts for more than one era of plumbing. The emergency plumbing job gets finished on the first visit wherever it can be, because a second trip costs you a day and costs us the trust.
How the job actually runs, start to finish.
Tell us what you are seeing, hearing or smelling. If water is actively running into the house, you get walked to your main shutoff before anything else is discussed.
Finding the real cause is what keeps the repair small. Opening one square foot of wall instead of twenty starts with knowing exactly where to open it.
If there is a cheaper option that will actually hold, you hear about it. If the cheap option is a patch that fails in six months, you hear that too.
The repair gets made with proper materials, pressure tested where the job allows, and checked in front of you before anything is closed back up.

What homeowners said after this job.
"Water heater let go on a Sunday morning and flooded half the basement. Had someone here inside two hours, new tank in by afternoon, and he hauled the old one off. Price was what he said on the phone."
"Well pump quit on a holiday weekend. He got the pressure switch replaced same day and told me the tank had maybe a year left rather than selling me one right then. Called him back for the tank in the spring."
"Good work on the sewer line, camera first so I could see the root ball myself. Took a day longer than quoted because of the rain, but they called me both mornings instead of leaving me guessing."
