A pipe that has split
Water from a split pipe spreads through floors and ceilings, so the first job is locating the break. The failed length is then cut out and new pipe joined in.

Problems that need a plumber now
Sewage backing up
Sewage coming up through a drain points to a blockage or a break in the line that carries waste out of the building. A plumber can find the fault and clear or repair the line.
A toilet running over
When a toilet overflows, the cause is either a stoppage in the drain behind it or a stuck part in the tank. Finding which one decides whether the answer is a cable or a replacement part.
Water around the heater
Pooling around the base of a tank heater might come from a loose fitting on the pipes above it or from a leak in the tank. The source decides between a repair and a new heater.
Dry taps after a freeze
No water at the taps after a cold spell suggests ice in a pipe, and a pipe that froze can crack as the ice melts. Any cracked length is cut out and replaced.
Winter nights in Hoboken
Winter in Hoboken brings an average January low of 27°F and roughly 70 days a year at or below 32°F. Outside walls, unheated spaces and outdoor spigots are where pipes meet that cold.
The pipe freeze risk checker is built for this. Choose where your pipes run, whether inside a heated wall, in an unheated garage or crawl space, or outdoors, and it weighs that against Hoboken’s January low to give a rating.
When the emergency is over
Once a leak is stopped or a line is cleared, the plumber can explain what failed and whether the repair is finished or a bigger job, such as new piping or a new heater, comes next.
