Here's What Happens When You Call Mr. Hollands

The details you provide help our team understand the severity of the problem and prepare for the service call. We’ll focus on limiting immediate risk first, then determine what the plumbing system needs. 

  1. Initial Call: Tell us where the problem is located, what you can see or hear, and whether water or sewage is actively spreading. We may also ask when the issue started and which fixtures or areas are affected. 
  2. Safety Check: Our team will help you identify precautions that may limit further damage. This could include using an accessible water shutoff or staying away from an area affected by sewage or standing water near electrical equipment. 
  3. Dispatch: We coordinate an emergency plumber based on the property’s location and the nature of the problem. The information collected during the call helps the technician arrive prepared to investigate. 
  4. Inspection & Diagnosis: The plumber examines the immediate failure and the connected piping, fixtures, drains, or equipment. This step helps determine whether the visible problem is isolated or part of a larger plumbing issue. 
  5. Repair & Confirmation: We explain the findings and proposed repair before completing the work you authorize. The plumber then checks the affected system to confirm that water is contained, drainage has been restored, or the equipment is operating properly.

What Is A Plumbing Emergency?

A plumbing problem becomes and emergency when it presents an immediate risk to the property, creates an unsanitary condition, or leaves the building without an essential plumbing function. Water moving into walls, floors, ceilings, electrical areas, or finished spaces deserves prompt attention. Sewage entering the property also requires urgent service because it may expose occupants to contaminated wastewater. If you aren’t sure whether the situation is urgent, call Mr. Holland’s and describe what’s happening. 

Suspected gas leaks require a different first step. Leave the building immediately and contact 911 or the gas utility. Don’t return until emergency authorities say the property is safe.

Signs You Need Emergency Plumbing Repair in Milwaukee

A plumbing emergency isn’t always hidden behind a wall. These situations provide clear reasons to shut down the affected system when possible and request immediate help.

What Is Escaping and Won’t Stop

A split pipe, failed supply line, broken valve, or overflowing fixture can release a significant amount of water in minutes. Use the nearest appropriate shutoff if you can reach it without entering standing water or another unsafe area. Call an emergency plumber even after the flow stops, since the failed component stillneeds to be located and repaired.

Sewage Is Backing Up Through a Drain

Wastewater entering through a toilet, tub, shower, or basement floor drain may indicate a severe blockage or problem in the main sewer line. Stop using sinks, toilets, washing machines, and other water-consuming fixtures until the system has been inspected. Keep people and pets away from contaminated areas.

A Sump Pump or Water Heater Is Flooding the Property

A failed sump pump can allow groundwater to rise into a basement during heavy rain or snowmelt. Water heaters may also release water through a failed tank, valve, or connection. Shut off the equipment only when you know how to do so safely, and stay away if water has reached electrical panels, outlets, appliances, or exposed wiring.
