Emergency Plumbing in Southern Maine
Plumbing emergencies don't follow a schedule. A burst pipe, a flooding water heater, a sewage backup — these situations are urgent, stressful, and the right response in the first few minutes matters enormously for how much damage you end up with. AT Plumbing Services provides emergency plumbing response for existing customers and customer referrals across southern Maine.

What to Do Before We Arrive
The single most important action in any water-related plumbing emergency is shutting off the main water supply. Every homeowner should know where this shutoff is located before they ever need it — in Scarborough-area homes, it's typically near the water meter or where the main line enters the basement.
Shut off the main water supply
Find the shutoff valve and close it. This stops all water flow to the home immediately and limits the scope of damage significantly.
Turn off the water heater
If water supply is interrupted, shut off the water heater to prevent dry-fire damage to the unit.
Document the damage
Take photos and video before any cleanup begins — important for insurance documentation and for our damage assessment when we arrive.
Stay away from electrical components near water
If water is near outlets, the electrical panel, or fixtures — don't operate any switches. Water and electricity together create a different kind of emergency.

Who We Respond To for Emergency Plumbing
AT Plumbing Services prioritizes emergency response for existing customers and verified referrals from our customer network. This is a deliberate choice — not a limitation we're apologizing for. By maintaining this approach, we ensure that the customers who have trusted us with their regular plumbing work can count on us when something goes wrong. We don't promise 24/7 emergency response to everyone and then deliver poor response times and overwhelmed technicians.
If you're a new customer with an urgent situation, call us. We assess our availability honestly and help where we can. In some cases, we'll be available. In others, we'll point you toward someone reputable. Either way, we'll give you a straight answer rather than leaving you on hold.
