Water Damage Is a Clock
A burst supply line puts out several gallons a minute. Within an hour that is flooring, drywall, cabinetry and anything stored below — and the repair bill for the water is usually larger than the repair bill for the pipe.
So the first thing we do on the phone is get the water off. We will walk you to your main shutoff while a truck is already on the way.
- We Talk You Through It We help you shut the water off before we arrive, which limits the damage immediately.
- Stocked Trucks The parts behind most emergency calls are carried, so repairs finish on the visit.
- No After-Hours Surprises You approve the flat price before work starts, the same as any other call.
What We See
Call Immediately If
These will not wait for a weekday appointment.
-
Water Is Actively Running
Shut the main off and call. Every minute matters for the damage bill.
-
You Smell Gas
Leave the house first, then call from outside. Do not switch anything on or off.
-
No Water at All
Could be a main break, a failed pressure regulator or a frozen line — all worth immediate attention.
-
Sewage Backing Up
A health hazard, and the cleanup grows by the hour.
What We Do
What We Handle After Hours
Full capability at any hour.
- Burst and Split Lines Located, isolated and repaired, including lines split by a hard freeze.
- Water Heater Failures Leaking or failed tanks isolated and replaced, often the same night.
- Sewer Backups Cleared with cable or jetter, with camera diagnosis once flow is restored.
- Gas Leak Response Leak location and safe isolation by licensed technicians.

What Our Customers Say
Don't just take our word for it — hear from our satisfied customers
★★★★★
Estimates and work for extensive plumbing issues. Slow drains, dated hot water heater, shower control issues and other related items.
★★★★★
A tankless water heater was installed 11 years ago (by a plumber who no longer lives in the area) and I recently found out that some of the pipes were not "up to code." Two men came from . B Carlson and fixed the problem. They were efficient, patient with my techno-idiot questions, and very personable. I couldn't ask for better service!!
★★★★★
water heater went out on a friday morning, I called B Carlson and a technician was out early that afternoon. He quickly diagnosed the problem and since the heater was 9 years old I decided to replace it. The new water heater was installed before dinner time. The technician was fast and courteous. A professional job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is my main shutoff?
Usually where the supply enters the house, often in a utility area or near the water heater, plus a meter valve at the street. Call us and we will help you find it.
Do you charge more at night?
You always get the price up front and approve it before we begin. No surprise after-hours charges.
What counts as an emergency?
Anything actively causing damage or making the home unusable — burst pipe, no water, sewage backup, failed water heater, or the smell of gas.
