24/7 Emergency Plumbing Services
Burst Pipe Repair
A burst pipe can cause significant water damage in minutes. Left unaddressed, it can weaken your home’s foundation, damage flooring and drywall, and encourage mould growth. Our emergency plumbers quickly locate the break, shut off the water, and perform the necessary pipe replacement or repair. We also assess surrounding areas to ensure moisture is controlled and the risk of further leaks is eliminated.
Drain Clogs
Severe drain clogs can make your plumbing system unusable and result in unsanitary water backups. Whether caused by hair, grease, or foreign objects, clogged drains need immediate attention. Anchor Home Comfort uses high-powered drain cleaning tools, including augers and hydro-jetting systems, to remove even the most stubborn blockages and restore flow safely—without damaging your pipes.
Water Heater Failures
Water heater breakdowns can be inconvenient and potentially dangerous, especially during cold weather. Our emergency plumbing team in Ottawa is trained to service both conventional and tankless units. We troubleshoot and repair issues like leaking tanks, faulty thermostats, failed heating elements, or pressure relief valve problems. If a replacement is required, we offer fast, same-day solutions to restore hot water to your home.
Sewer Backups
A sewer backup is one of the most serious plumbing emergencies you can face. It can expose your family to harmful bacteria and cause extensive damage to your home’s interior. Our certified plumbers perform detailed sewer inspections using cameras and clear blockages using advanced tools. We also offer full cleanup, sanitization, and repair to keep your family safe and your home functioning.
Frozen Pipe
Ottawa winters can be harsh, and frozen pipes are a common emergency call. When pipes freeze, they can crack or burst, causing serious leaks once they thaw. Our emergency plumbers use heat guns, pipe thawers, and thermal wraps to safely restore flow. We also help insulate and protect exposed plumbing to prevent future freezing and water damage.

What Should I Do While Waiting for an Emergency Plumber to Arrive?
While you wait for Anchor Home Comfort’s emergency plumber to arrive at your Ottawa home, follow these safety steps:
- Turn off the water supply in the affected area using a shut-off valve, or close the main water valve if the issue is widespread.
- Relocate personal belongings, furniture, or electronics away from the leak and use towels or containers to help contain any water.
- Document visible water damage by taking clear photos of the area before attempting any cleanup—this will help with insurance claims.
- If the issue involves sewage backup or dirty water, do not attempt to clean it yourself—leave the area and wait for professionals.
