Introduction
When a midnight pipe bursts or your basement starts flooding, you don’t need a phone tree – you need an emergency plumber in Calgary who answers on the first ring. At Wiehler Plumbing and Heating, we’ve been the go-to guys for Calgary homeowners since 1979 because we understand: real emergencies don’t wait for business hours.
1. Stop the Water (Before Calling Anyone)
Here’s the hard truth we tell all our clients: The person who saves your home from water damage is you. That starts with knowing where your main shutoff valve is.
-
For single-fixture issues: Look under sinks or behind toilets for local shutoffs
-
Whole-home emergencies: Your main valve is usually where the water line enters your home (basement/mechanical room)
-

Pro Tip from John: “Take video of your plumbing system now when everything’s dry. It helps us diagnose issues 3x faster when you’re in panic mode.”
2. How to Pick the Right Emergency Plumber
Not all “24/7” services are equal. Here’s what matters when you’re Googling at 2 AM:
✔ Local technicians (not call centers routing to random contractors)
✔ Actual human answering (no endless voicemail loops)
✔ Transparent pricing (ask “What’s the after-hours dispatch fee?”)
✔ GPS-tracked vehicles (so you know exactly when we’re arriving)
3. Damage Control While You Wait
-
Electrical safety: Kill power to wet areas at the breaker
-
Document everything: Take timestamped photos for insurance
-
Contain the spread: Use towels or a wet vac if safe.
