A burst pipe doesn't wait for business hours. Call now and you'll talk to a licensed plumber who has been fixing Gainesville emergencies since 2003.
Water is the most expensive thing that can go wrong in your house. A supply line that lets go behind a wall can push out hundreds of gallons before you get home. If you have water where it shouldn't be, do two things: close your main shutoff valve, then call us at (352) 316-3745.
When you call Swamp City Plumbing you talk to the plumber, not an answering service reading a script. We'll tell you honestly whether it's a true emergency, walk you through stopping the damage right now, and get a truck moving.
Nate Fairrow has held Florida plumbing license CFC1425972 since 2003. Twenty-three years of re-pipes, water heaters, and 2am disasters in Alachua County homes means there's very little we haven't opened a wall and found. You get a straight answer about what's wrong, what it costs, and what can wait, before any work starts.
In most Gainesville homes the main shutoff is at the water meter near the street, or where the supply line enters the house, often on the side facing the street or in the garage. Turn it clockwise until it stops. If it's stuck or crumbles in your hand (common on older gate valves), that's exactly the kind of call we take.
Call the number any time. If we can't pick up on the spot we call back fast, and we'll tell you honestly whether it can wait for morning or needs someone now.
Shut off the water at the main valve, kill the breaker to your water heater if it's leaking, and move anything valuable out of the wet area. We'll walk you through it on the phone.
You get a flat, upfront quote before work begins, emergency or not. No mystery math on the invoice.
