Emergency Plumbing
When a pipe bursts at 2 a.m. or your basement floods on a holiday weekend, you need a licensed emergency plumber in Alexandria, VA who answers the phone and shows up fast.

Call our emergency line at (443) 416-4826 and a technician will be at your door in under 60 minutes.
Why Plumbing Emergencies Cannot Wait
Water damage escalates by the minute. A single burst pipe can release hundreds of gallons per hour, warping floors, saturating drywall, and creating conditions for mold growth within 48 hours. Sewer backups introduce harmful bacteria into your living space, and gas line leaks pose an immediate risk of fire. Every minute you delay increases the cost of repairs and the danger to your household.
With more than 10 years of experience serving Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Springfield, and the surrounding communities, Keston’s Plumbing has handled thousands of urgent calls. We are fully licensed through the Virginia DPOR and carry comprehensive insurance, so you can trust that the work is done right and your property is protected.
Emergencies We Respond To
Burst and Frozen Pipes
Northern Virginia winters bring temperatures low enough to freeze exposed or poorly insulated pipes. When a pipe bursts, our technicians locate the break, shut down the affected line, and complete the repair on the spot. We carry common fittings and materials on every service vehicle so there is no waiting on parts.
Major Water Leaks
Whether the source is a failed supply line, a corroded fitting behind a wall, or a leaking water heater, we isolate the leak quickly and perform a lasting repair to minimize property damage.
Sewer Line Backups
Raw sewage backing up into your home is both a health hazard and a deeply unpleasant experience. We deploy professional-grade sewer machines and video camera inspections to identify blockages or line collapses and clear the line on-site.
Gas Line Emergencies
If you smell gas, leave the building and call 911 first, then call us. Our technicians are licensed to work on gas piping. Once the area is safe, we locate the leak, make the repair, and pressure-test the line before restoring service.
Overflowing Toilets and Fixtures
An overflowing toilet or fixture can cause significant water damage to floors, subfloors, and ceilings below. We resolve the blockage or mechanical failure and confirm the fixture operates correctly before we leave.
No Hot Water
Whether your water heater has failed, a gas valve has malfunctioned, or a thermocouple needs replacement, we diagnose and resolve the issue on-site.
What to Do While You Wait
After you call our emergency line at (443) 416-4826, take these steps to limit damage and keep your household safe:
- Shut off the water supply. Locate the main shut-off valve, usually near your water meter or where the main line enters the house, and turn it clockwise. If the problem is isolated to one fixture, use the local shut-off valve instead.
- Turn off the water heater. Once the main water is off, shut down your water heater. For gas models, turn the gas valve off. For electric models, switch off the breaker.
- Open faucets to relieve pressure. Open a few faucets at the lowest point in the house to drain remaining water and reduce pressure on the damaged section.
- Move valuables away from water. Relocate electronics, documents, and furniture away from standing water or active leaks. Place towels or buckets to contain the spread.
- Do not attempt to repair gas lines yourself. If you suspect a gas leak, leave the house, avoid operating electrical switches, and call 911.
- Document the damage. Take photos and video of the affected areas for your insurance claim.
