Emergency Plumbing

Fast, same-day response when you need it most.

Coastal-grade work, done right.

Plumbing problems don't keep business hours. A burst pipe at 2 a.m. or sewage backing up before a holiday is exactly the kind of emergency we're built for. Our line is answered by real people, not a machine, and our trucks are stocked to fix most problems on the first visit so we can stop the damage fast. We specialize in prompt, same-day service that protects your home and your wallet — the sooner we're there, the less water gets where it shouldn't.

A burst supply line, a sewage backup, or a water heater that lets go doesn’t wait for a convenient time. When water is spreading across your floor, minutes matter, and so does reaching someone local who can actually get to you. Good Catch Plumbing answers emergency calls across Southwest Florida, and our phones are staffed 7 days a week, from 7am to 9pm.

We serve Sanibel, Captiva, Naples, Marco Island, Bonita Springs, Estero, Fort Myers, and Cape Coral. When you call, you speak with our own team, not a distant call center, and you get honest, upfront pricing before any work begins. The first job is always to stop the damage. The second is to fix the underlying problem the right way, so you’re not calling us again next week.

Signs you have a plumbing emergency

Water you can't shut off

A pipe, fixture, or valve is spraying or streaming and the fixture shutoff won't hold. Close your home's main valve to stop the flow, then call.

Sewage backing up into the home

Waste or dark water rising in a tub, shower, or floor drain, usually with a strong odor. Stop running water and call right away. This is a health hazard, not just a clog.

No water anywhere in the house

Every fixture has gone dry. That can point to a broken service line, a failed well pump, or a hidden underground leak that needs finding fast.

Water heater leaking or flooding

Pooling water around the tank, a steady drip from the temperature and pressure relief valve, or no hot water paired with dampness in the closet or garage.

Pressure drop or a meter that keeps running

Weak flow at every tap, or your water meter turning with everything shut off. Often a sign of a slab leak or a break in the buried service line.

Gas water heater trouble

A rotten-egg smell near a gas appliance, or a pilot that won't stay lit. Leave the area, don't touch switches, and call us from outside.

How Good Catch handles a plumbing emergency in Southwest Florida

An emergency call is really two jobs at once: stop the damage happening right now, and fix the cause so it stays fixed. When you reach us, we’ll often walk you through shutting off the right valve while you’re still on the phone, whether that’s the fixture stop under a sink or the main shutoff at the house. Getting the water off early is the single biggest thing that limits damage to flooring, drywall, and cabinets.

What happens when we arrive

We start by finding the true source, not just the symptom. Water travels, so the puddle in your hallway may be coming from a line in another room. We isolate the failure, confirm what’s involved, and give you clear, upfront pricing before we start the repair. When a temporary fix is the smart move to get your water back on tonight with a proper repair to follow, we’ll tell you that honestly rather than push the biggest job.

Common emergencies we handle

Burst or split supply lines, failed shutoff valves, and leaking pipe joints
Sewer and main drain backups, including older cast-iron lines that have corroded or scaled shut
Water heater failures, tank leaks, and no-hot-water calls
Slab leaks under slab-on-grade homes, located and repaired or rerouted
Overflowing or continuously running toilets, and clogged main lines
Well pump and pressure-tank problems on properties without city water

Why Southwest Florida homes fail the way they do

The plumbing problems here have local causes. Our hard, mineral-heavy water scales up the inside of pipes and shortens the life of water heaters and valves. Salt air along the coast in Sanibel, Captiva, and Marco Island corrodes fittings and fixtures faster than inland homes ever see. Many older houses still run cast-iron drain lines that rust and break down from the inside, and slab-on-grade construction means a failed line can leak under the concrete for weeks before you notice a warm spot on the floor or a jump in the water bill.

Seasonal and snowbird homes carry their own risk. A supply line that lets go while the house sits empty can run for days, so some of the worst water damage happens in homes that were closed up for the season. If you own a part-time home here, shutting off the main and the water heater when you leave is cheap insurance, and we’re glad to show you where those valves are.

Doing it right, not just fast

Fast response matters in an emergency, but a rushed repair that fails again is no favor. We use materials rated for our water and climate, we test our work before we leave, and we back it with a workmanship guarantee. We treat your home the way we’d treat our own, which means we clean up, explain what happened, and tell you plainly how to keep it from happening again.

Questions

Questions about Emergency Plumbing

Do you offer 24-hour service?

We're open 7 days a week from 7am to 9pm and answer emergency calls throughout those hours. We're honest that we're not an overnight operation, but those hours cover the times most emergencies actually happen. If you call while we're open, we'll move quickly to get to you.

What should I do while I wait for you to arrive?

Shut off the water first. Use the shutoff valve at the leaking fixture if it holds, and if it doesn't, close your home's main shutoff valve. For a water heater problem, turn off its supply valve too. Then move belongings away from the water. If you smell gas, leave the area and call us from outside.

How fast can you get here?

It depends on where you are and how booked the day is, but as a local company serving Sanibel, Naples, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and the surrounding areas, we're usually not far away. When you call, we'll give you an honest arrival window rather than a guess.

Will you tell me the price before you start?

Yes. You get upfront pricing before any work begins, even on an emergency call. You'll know what the repair costs before we pick up a tool, and we won't add charges just because it was urgent.

Can you fix it in one visit?

Often, yes. We carry common parts and handle most emergencies on the spot. Some situations, like a major slab leak, a sewer line replacement, or a part that has to be ordered, may need a follow-up visit. When that happens, we'll do a safe temporary fix to get your water back and schedule the permanent repair.

My house sits empty part of the year. How do I prevent an emergency while I'm gone?

The biggest safeguard is shutting off your main water valve and your water heater whenever the home is closed up for the season. A burst line in an empty house can run for days before anyone notices. We're happy to show you where your shutoffs are and check the condition of aging supply lines before you leave.
