Bonita Springs’ Trusted Emergency Service Pros
Water where it shouldn’t be doesn’t keep business hours. When you need an emergency plumber in Bonita Springs — a burst pipe at 2 AM, a sewer backing up on Thanksgiving, a water heater flooding the garage on Sunday — McGrath Plumbing answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (239) 842-1591.
Our emergency response comes from our Bonita Springs office on Brighton Ln — not a dispatcher three counties away reading your address off a screen. Local matters at 2 AM: minutes of drive time are gallons of water.
Emergency Service Services We Provide in Bonita Springs
Burst Pipes & Supply Lines
The genuine emergency: pressurized water going full-flow into your home. We shut it down, stop the damage, and make the repair — and we’ll talk you through finding your shutoff valve while we’re on the way.
Water Heater Failures
A ruptured tank can put 50 gallons on the floor and keep feeding itself. We isolate it fast, and in most cases have a replacement installed within a day — see our Bonita Springs water heater page.
Sewer Backups
Sewage coming up a drain is a health emergency, not an inconvenience. Backups jump our queue, day or night — cleared, diagnosed, and the cause identified with a camera.
No Water / Shutoff Emergencies
Sometimes the emergency is a valve that won’t turn when you desperately need it to. We replace failed shutoffs and get water flowing — or stopped — fast.
Emergency Plumbing in Bonita Springs Has Its Own Rules
The empty-house flood is our worst-case call. Bonita Springs’ seasonal homes mean a supply line that lets go in July can run for days before a neighbor spots water at the door. If a property manager or neighbor calls us about your home while you’re away, we can meet them, shut it down, document everything for insurance, and coordinate the fix with you by phone. Seasonal residents: ask us about smart shutoff valves — the cheapest flood insurance there is.
Condo emergencies are team sports. In the towers and attached communities, one unit’s leak is the downstairs neighbor’s ceiling. We respond fast, work cleanly, and communicate with building management the way associations expect — we’re in Bonita Bay and Pelican Landing area communities regularly enough to know the drill.
Hurricane season adds a layer. Before a storm: know your main shutoff, and if you’re evacuating, consider shutting water down entirely. After: watch for pressure drops or discolored water. We handle pre-storm shutoff visits and post-storm checks every season — June through November keeps us busy beyond the usual emergencies.
Old valves fail exactly when you need them. The most common emergency multiplier we see: a 30-year-old gate valve at the main that spins uselessly while the house floods. If your shutoff hasn’t been touched in a decade, test it on a calm Tuesday — and if it fails the test, replacing it with a quarter-turn ball valve is cheap peace of mind.
What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency — and What Should You Do First?
Call immediately for: water you can’t stop, sewage backing up, no water at all, a gas water heater smelling of gas (leave first, call from outside), or a leak reaching electrical fixtures. First move in almost every case: shut off the water — at the fixture valve if it’s local, at the main if it isn’t. Your main shutoff is typically at the house where the supply line enters, near the water heater, or at the meter box by the street.
Then call (239) 842-1591. A live person answers, we tell you honestly when we’ll arrive, and our pricing works the same at midnight as at noon: firm quote before work, $68 service call applied toward the job.

Bonita Springs Emergency Service FAQs
How fast can an emergency plumber reach me in Bonita Springs?
We respond from our Brighton Ln office in Bonita Springs — for genuine emergencies we’re often on-site within the hour, any hour. Call (239) 842-1591; a live person answers 24/7.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends, or holidays?
Our pricing is transparent around the clock: you get a firm quote before any work begins, and the $68 service call applies toward the job. No mystery multipliers invented at your kitchen table at midnight.
Where is my home’s main water shutoff?
Usually where the supply line enters the home, near the water heater, in the garage, or at the meter box near the street. Finding it BEFORE an emergency is the single best five minutes of preparation a homeowner can spend — and if yours is seized, we’ll replace it with a modern ball valve.
A pipe just burst — what do I do while I wait?
Shut off the main, open a couple of faucets to drain pressure, kill power to affected areas if water is near outlets, and move what you can. Then take photos for insurance. We’ll be moving as soon as you call.
My neighbor reported water coming from my house and I’m out of state. Can you handle it?
Yes — this is a Bonita Springs specialty by necessity. We can meet your neighbor or property manager, shut down the water, stop the damage, document everything for your insurer, and plan the repair with you by phone.
Is a water heater leak an emergency?
A drip from a valve can wait for morning; a leak from the tank itself cannot — tanks fail forward, never backward. Shut off the heater’s cold inlet valve and its power or gas, then call. We’ll tell you honestly which situation you have.
