About Our Emergency Plumbing Service
Plumbing emergencies do not keep business hours, so neither do we. Hawaii Plumbing & Drain Cleaning Squad provides 24/7 emergency plumbing on Oahu for the problems that cannot wait until morning: burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, water heater failures, and a total loss of water. When you call, your call is answered around the clock - no voicemail, no waiting for the office to open - and a licensed plumber (CT-35055) is dispatched with an average emergency response of 30-60 minutes.
An emergency is any plumbing problem that is actively damaging your home or putting people at risk. Call right away for a leak you cannot stop, sewage backing into tubs or floor drains, or no water at all - these problems get more expensive by the hour. Homeowners needing emergency plumbing in Honolulu deal with everything from older high-rise supply lines to single-family homes, and the same fast dispatch covers emergency plumbing in Kapolei and every community in between.
While you wait, shut off the water at the nearest valve - or at the main valve by the meter for a burst pipe - move valuables away from the water, and keep electrical appliances away from standing water. If the leak involves your water heater, turn the heater off. Not every problem needs an emergency visit: a single slow drain can usually wait for a regular appointment, and if you are not sure, call us and we will help you judge whether it needs immediate dispatch or can be scheduled.
Every emergency visit starts with making the situation safe and stopping the water, then finding the real cause instead of just the visible symptom. Many emergencies trace back to a problem another service solves for good - a hidden supply leak found through leak detection, a blocked line cleared with drain cleaning, or a failed heater handled by our water heater services team. On the West Side, 24/7 emergency plumbing in Waianae comes from the same local crew that has served Oahu since 2018.
What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency
Burst Pipes and Major Leaks
A burst pipe or a leak you cannot shut off can soak walls, floors, and ceilings in minutes. We stop the water, find the break, and repair or replace the damaged section before the damage spreads.
Sewer and Drain Backups
Sewage backing into your home is a health hazard that needs an immediate professional response. We stop the backup, clear the blockage, sanitize the affected area, and investigate the cause so it does not happen again.
Water Heater Failures and No Water
A leaking or ruptured water heater can flood a garage or utility room fast, and a total loss of water usually points to a main line problem. Both need same-day emergency service, not a spot on next week's schedule.
What to Expect When You Call
- Call and describe the emergency. Tell us what happened, whether you shut the water off, and whether water is near anything electrical. That helps the plumber arrive ready - call (808) 353-8445 any time, day or night.
- We arrive inside your scheduled 2-hour window. The plumber secures the site first, stopping active water wherever possible, then diagnoses the problem.
- Written price before work. You see the full scope and price in writing and approve it before the repair starts. Most jobs fall in a typical range of $195-$600, and there are no surprise charges.
- The fix, tested and cleaned up. Most emergency repairs are finished in about 2-3 hours. We test the repair, clean up the work area, and explain what caused the problem and whether any follow-up is worth doing.

Emergency Plumbing — Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you respond to emergencies?
We typically respond within 30-60 minutes for emergencies on Oahu. When you call (808) 353-8445, we dispatch immediately and emergency calls are our top priority around the clock.
How much does an emergency plumber cost on Oahu?
Most plumbing jobs fall in a typical range of $195-$600 depending on the problem. We give you the entire job cost in writing and get your sign-off before any work starts, so there are no surprise charges.
What should I do while I wait for the emergency plumber?
Shut off the water at the nearest valve — or at the main valve by the meter for a burst pipe — then move valuables away from the water and use towels or buckets to contain it. If the leak involves your water heater, turn the heater off. Then call us at (808) 353-8445 and describe what happened so the plumber arrives ready.
When should I call an emergency plumber instead of waiting?
Call right away for burst pipes, active leaks you cannot stop, sewer backups, or a total loss of water — these problems get more expensive by the hour. Smaller issues like a single slow drain can usually wait for a regular appointment.
Can you handle sewage backups in Oahu homes?
Yes. Sewage backups are a health hazard that need immediate professional response. We stop the backup, clear the blockage, and sanitize the affected areas. We also investigate the cause to prevent recurrence.
Do you offer any discounts?
Yes — 15% off for military, 10% off for seniors 65 and older, and 10% off for public servants (police, firefighters, nurses, doctors, and EMTs), up to $500 in savings. Just mention it when you book.
