Fast Help From a 24/7 Plumber in Atlanta
When you call RDP Plumbing, you reach a local company that has served Greater Atlanta since 2018. Same-day service is often available, and we’ll tell you honestly when we can be there.
Burst Pipes and Major Leaks
Our first job is to stop the flow. Then we find the damaged section, repair or replace it in copper, PEX, or PVC as the system requires, and test the line under pressure. If a leak is hidden inside a wall or under a slab, our leak detection service pinpoints it so we open only what we need to. See also pipe repair and repiping.
Sewer Backups and Overflowing Drains
If sewage is rising in more than one fixture, the main line is usually blocked. We clear it, then use a sewer camera to see what caused it, whether that’s roots, grease, or a damaged pipe. Learn more on our sewer backup and drain cleaning pages.
No Hot Water
We work on gas and electric tank heaters and tankless water heaters. We’ll tell you whether repair or replacement makes more sense and give you the price before we start. GreenSky financing is available for water heater installation.
If You Smell Gas, Leave First
Your safety comes before any repair. If you smell gas, get everyone out of the building right away. Don’t flip light switches, use appliances, or light anything. Once you’re outside and a safe distance away, call 911 and your gas utility’s emergency line. After the utility says it’s safe, our licensed plumbers can repair the gas line and get your appliances working again.
What to Do While You Wait for the Plumber
- Shut off the water. For a single fixture, close the small valve under the sink or behind the toilet. For a burst pipe, close the main shut-off valve.
- Protect people and power. Keep everyone away from standing water near outlets or appliances. Only switch off a breaker if you can reach the panel while staying dry.
- Turn off the water heater if it’s leaking. Set a gas unit to “pilot” or “off,” or switch off the breaker for an electric unit.
- Stop using drains during a sewer backup. Every flush or shower adds to the overflow.
- Move valuables and photograph the damage.
Common Emergency Situations We See in Atlanta Homes
Winter freeze damage. Many Atlanta homes have lightly protected pipes in crawl spaces, attics, and exterior walls. A hard cold snap can freeze and split them, and the leak often shows up as the ice thaws.
Root-clogged sewer lines. The city’s mature tree canopy is beautiful, but roots seek out older clay and cast iron sewer pipes. A slow drain can turn into a full backup overnight.
Aging water heaters. A tank that has been quietly corroding can start leaking with little warning.
Restaurant and business emergencies. A backed-up kitchen line or broken restroom fixture can shut a business down. Our commercial plumbing team responds 24/7 for Atlanta businesses too.

Emergency Plumbing FAQs
Are you really a 24/7 plumber in Atlanta?
Yes. RDP Plumbing is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Call (678) 330-8439 any time and you’ll reach our team. We’ll ask what’s happening, help you shut off the water if needed, and schedule a licensed plumber to come out. Same-day service is often available.
How much does an emergency plumber cost in Atlanta?
The cost depends on what failed, how easy it is to reach, the parts needed, and whether the fix is a repair or a replacement. We diagnose the problem first and give you clear, upfront pricing before any work begins, so you can decide with no surprises. There are no hidden fees, whether we come out at noon or midnight.
Where is my main water shut-off valve?
In most Atlanta homes, the main shut-off is where the water line enters the house: often in a basement, crawl space, garage, or utility closet, sometimes near the water heater. Many homes also have a valve in a box near the street at the meter. Turn the handle clockwise until it stops. Find it before an emergency, and we can help you locate it.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the building immediately and take everyone with you. Don’t use light switches, phones, or appliances inside, and don’t try to find the leak yourself. Once you’re safely outside, call 911 and your gas utility’s emergency line. After the area is declared safe, our licensed plumbers can repair or replace the damaged gas line and restore service.
Is a water heater with no hot water an emergency?
It can be. If the tank is leaking, turn off its water supply and power or gas, then call us right away to prevent water damage. If there’s simply no hot water and no leak, it’s less urgent but still disruptive. We’re available 24/7 either way and repair gas, electric, and tankless water heaters throughout the Atlanta area.
