When it cannot wait until morning
Water does its damage by the minute. A 24 hour plumber should answer at 2 a.m., and we do.

Nights, weekends and holidays
Our Google listing says open 24 hours because we are. Plumbing fails on its own schedule, so the phone is answered at 2 a.m. on a Sunday the same as at noon on a Tuesday.
Help on the phone before we arrive
The first minutes matter most. We will tell you where to find the main shutoff, how to shut the supply to a water heater or a toilet, and what to move out of the way. Stopping the water early is the difference between a repair and a restoration project.
Fixed properly, even after midnight
An emergency visit is not a patch and a promise to come back. Where the parts and access allow, we make the permanent repair on the spot, and it carries the same 1-year labor warranty as scheduled work.

What emergency plumbing costs
The cost depends on the repair, not on how stressful the night is. We tell you the price for the work before we begin. Ask about after-hours rates when you call so there are no surprises.
If you are not sure whether it can wait, call (980) 408-1705 anyway. We will tell you honestly if it can hold until a regular appointment.
What to do while you wait for the plumber
- Shut off the water. Use the fixture's own valve if the leak is at a toilet, sink or water heater. If you cannot find it, close the main shutoff where the water line enters the house or at the meter.
- If water is near outlets, appliances or the electrical panel, switch off power to that area at the breaker, and only if you can reach the panel without standing in water.
- For a leaking water heater, turn off the cold supply valve above the tank and switch the unit off at the breaker or set the gas control to off.
- Open a faucet on the lowest floor to drain pressure from the lines.
- Stop using water during a sewage backup. Every flush and every sink adds to it.

Emergency Plumber Questions, Answered
Yes. Alpha Drain answers calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays, for Charlotte and the surrounding area.
Anything that is causing damage or making the home unusable: a burst or actively leaking pipe, sewage backing up, an overflowing toilet, a leaking water heater, or no water. A dripping faucet or a slow drain can usually wait for a scheduled visit.
In most Charlotte-area homes it is where the water line enters the house, often in the crawlspace near the front foundation wall, in a garage, or in a utility closet. There is also a shutoff at the water meter near the street. It is worth finding yours today, before you need it.
Yes. We take emergency calls from restaurants, shops, offices and property managers. A backed-up commercial line or a failed water heater in a rental gets the same response.
Repairs and installations done on an emergency call carry the same 1-year labor warranty as scheduled work. Drain cleaning is the one service the warranty does not cover.
