Gene's Plumbing handles emergency plumbing across Rochester and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Burst supply lines, sewage coming up a floor drain and a water heater that let go are the three calls that cannot wait until Monday in Rochester. All three are answered the same night.
Every house handles emergency plumbing a little differently depending on its age, and Rochester has plenty of both old and new. The fitting, the pipe material and the way the last plumber left it all change what the right repair is.
That is why the Rochester truck carries parts for more than one era of plumbing. The emergency plumbing job gets finished on the first visit wherever it can be, because a second trip costs you a day and costs us the trust.
How the job actually runs, start to finish.
A plumber asks the questions on the phone that narrow it down, so the right parts and the right machine are already on the truck when it arrives.
A gauge goes on the system, a camera goes down the line, or the meter gets checked with everything off — whichever actually answers the question. Nobody quotes a repair on a guess.
If there is a cheaper option that will actually hold, you hear about it. If the cheap option is a patch that fails in six months, you hear that too.
Before the truck goes you see it working — the drain running, the pressure holding, the pit cycling — not just a thumbs up from the driveway.

Feedback from customers who had this work done.
"Water heater let go on a Sunday morning and flooded half the basement. Had someone here inside two hours, new tank in by afternoon, and he hauled the old one off. Price was what he said on the phone."
"Well pump quit on a holiday weekend. He got the pressure switch replaced same day and told me the tank had maybe a year left rather than selling me one right then. Called him back for the tank in the spring."
"Old cast iron stack was leaking behind the wall. They cut it out and put in new, and were careful about dust with plastic and a fan. That mattered with a baby in the house."
