Emergency Plumbing: 24/7 Response
Across Langley & the Fraser Valley
A plumbing emergency rarely waits for a convenient hour. Pipes burst in the middle of the night, sewer lines back up over a long weekend, and hot water tanks fail right before a house full of guests arrives. When it happens, you need a team that picks up the phone and knows how to stop the damage before it spreads. At Murrayville Plumbing & Heating Ltd., we provide 24-hour emergency plumbing response for residential, commercial, and strata properties throughout Langley and the Fraser Valley.
Our licensed plumbers carry fully stocked trucks and years of hands-on experience with the kinds of failures that can’t wait until Monday morning. A flooded basement, a sewer backup that’s made your washroom unusable, or a hot water tank leaking onto the floor all call for the same thing: someone who arrives promptly and gets the job done right the first time.
24-HOUR EMERGENCY PLUMBING RESPONSE
When you call our team outside of regular business hours, a real person picks up the phone. Our after-hours crew is dispatched as soon as we understand what’s happening at your property, and we work to get a technician to your door as quickly as possible, day or night.
COMMON PLUMBING EMERGENCIES WE HANDLE
Not every plumbing problem needs an emergency call, but some situations can cause serious damage if they’re left even a few hours. Our emergency team responds to:
- Burst, split, cracked, or frozen pipes
- Sewer backups and main line blockages
- Overflowing toilets, sinks, bathtubs, or floor drains
- Complete loss of water or hot water
- Leaking or failed hot water tanks
- Failed sump pumps during heavy rain
- Severe drain clogs that won’t clear
- Gas line concerns
If you’re not sure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, call us anyway. We’d rather talk you through it over the phone than have a minor issue turn into a major repair overnight.

OUR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCESS
We’ve kept our process simple, because a crisis is not the time for complicated steps:
- Call us: Our line is answered around the clock, and we’ll ask a few quick questions to understand what’s happening.
- We dispatch a technician: A fully stocked truck heads to your property right away.
- We diagnose and repair: Our plumber pinpoints the cause and gets to work on a fix, explaining your options along the way.
Emergency Plumbing Services
At Murrayville Plumbing & Heating Ltd., our emergency plumbing services extend across Langley, Surrey, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, and the surrounding Fraser Valley communities. We work with homeowners facing a sudden leak, property managers coordinating access across a multi-unit building, and strata councils navigating a shared pipe failure that affects several units at once. Every emergency call gets the same urgency, whether it’s a single bathroom or an entire commercial building.
Once the immediate emergency is resolved, we’ll walk you through what caused the problem and what can be done to prevent it from happening again. Sometimes that means a simple repair. Other times, it points to an aging system that would benefit from replacement or re-piping. Either way, you’ll have a clear explanation and a plan before we leave.
Frequently Asked Questions
Generally, any plumbing issue that risks property damage or leaves you without an essential service qualifies, including a burst pipe, sewer backup, overflowing fixture, or complete loss of water or hot water. If you’re uncertain, call us and we’ll help you figure out how urgent the situation is.
Yes. Someone answers day and night, weekends and statutory holidays included, and it’s always a live person rather than a machine.
The most useful thing you can do is control what’s still within reach: shutting the water off if you can get to a valve safely, or leaving the property right away if gas is involved. The checklist above covers the specifics for different situations.
It depends on the issue. Some emergencies can be fully resolved on the first visit, while others require a temporary stabilization followed by a longer-term repair, which we’ll explain clearly before any work begins.
Yes. We work with property managers, strata councils, business owners, and landlords throughout Langley and the Fraser Valley, and we understand the added coordination that multi-unit and commercial properties often require.
