24-Hour Emergency Plumber in Colorado Springs, CO

You’ll need an emergency plumber in Colorado Springs if the issue poses a threat to your home or safety. Common signs include burst pipes, severe leaks, sewage backups, or no access to water. If you’re facing significant water damage, potential health hazards, or your plumbing problem can’t wait until normal business hours, it’s best to call right away. When in doubt, contact Big Cat, and we’ll help assess whether your situation requires urgent attention.

If you have a burst pipe or major leak, locate your main water shutoff valve and turn it off immediately to stop water flow to the entire home — it’s typically in the basement, garage, or utility area. For sewage backups, stop using all plumbing fixtures and keep people and pets away from the affected area. For frozen pipes, don’t use open flames to thaw them. Big Cat will also walk you through any immediate steps when you call.

A plumbing emergency in Colorado Springs is any problem that needs immediate attention to prevent further damage, risk, or health hazards. If you’re uncertain, give us a call, and we’ll help you assess the situation.

Yes—frozen pipes should be treated as an emergency in Colorado Springs. Even if a pipe hasn’t burst yet, the risk is extremely high. A frozen pipe can rupture suddenly, causing extensive water damage in minutes. Calling Big Cat early can help prevent a much more costly emergency.

Pipes here are exposed to rapid temperature drops, especially overnight. When water freezes inside a pipe, it expands and increases pressure until the pipe fails. Homes with pipes in exterior walls, garages, or crawl spaces are especially vulnerable during cold snaps.

Some frozen pipes can be thawed safely, but using open flames or improper heating methods is dangerous and often causes pipe damage. If you’re unsure where the freeze is located or if water isn’t flowing at all, it’s best to call Big Cat Plumbing, Heating & Cooling for professional assistance.
