24/7 Emergency Plumbing in Provo, UT
Call Red Rock for 24/7 emergency plumbing in Provo. Get help coordinating an active pipe leak or sewer backup, safe access, and the next repair step.
Start with the problem
Protect people, explain the damage, and coordinate access
Call for emergency plumbing in Provo when a burst pipe, active leak, or overflowing drain needs urgent attention. Red Rock offers 24/7 emergency plumbing. Give the address and unit number, say whether water is still escaping, and confirm current scheduling by phone. An active emergency needs a conversation rather than an online request awaiting review.
If there is a gas smell, a fire, or an immediate threat to life, leave the area and contact emergency responders first. For suspected gas, call 911 and your gas supplier from a safe location. For an Enbridge natural-gas emergency, call 800-767-1689. Do not operate switches, phones, or gas valves in the affected area.
More about our 24-hour emergency serviceFor a Provo sewer backup, stop adding water and identify who is affected
When sewage rises through a fixture, stop flushing toilets and running sinks, showers, laundry, and dishwashers. Other fixtures can feed the same blocked line even if they are not overflowing. Tell other occupants, keep people and pets out of wastewater, and call for help. At a multi-unit property, notify the manager promptly so water use and access can be coordinated across potentially connected units.
For a rental, contact the manager and identify who can provide access to the mechanical room, cleanout, or neighboring unit if needed. Give the plumber that person's contact information. Ask whether the manager has already spoken with Provo Water Resources; pass along any findings so private plumbing work and a possible public-system issue can be coordinated.
Distinguish a private leak from a public water concern
For an active supply leak, use a familiar private shutoff only if it is safely accessible. Do not enter standing water to reach a valve or electrical panel. If you cannot safely stop the supply, say so when calling. A description such as "water is still flowing from the ceiling below the bathroom" is more useful than guessing the hidden pipe material.
Provo Public Works lists Water Resources emergency and after-hours assistance at 801-852-6789. Contact the city about suspected public water or sewer trouble, including a problem that appears to affect other properties. Share any city response with Red Rock. A plumbing repair request can address private piping while the city investigates its own system; one call does not establish the cause for both.
Plan for the damaged area as well as the broken plumbing
Stopping a leak or restoring drainage does not dry a building or remove sewage contamination. Provo's sewer-backup information distinguishes mitigation, which limits damage and addresses contamination, from restoration work afterward. If rooms or materials are affected, arrange appropriate recovery help in addition to the plumbing repair. Keep repair findings and safely obtained photographs together for the owner or recovery team.
For a Provo property manager, make the handoff explicit: what water use is still restricted, which units need access, what plumbing work was completed, and what remains for cleanup or further investigation. Do not assume that a fixture draining again means the room is ready for normal occupancy. Follow the guidance of the professionals assessing the affected building and any instructions from the city.

Before you call
24-Hour Emergency questions in Provo.
Can I call at night about a Provo pipe leak?
Yes. Red Rock offers 24/7 emergency plumbing. Explain whether water is still escaping and confirm the current service arrangement. Confirm the expected timing during your call.
Who should call when several Provo rental units have a backup?
Notify the manager promptly and identify every affected unit. Ask the manager to coordinate access and water-use restrictions across potentially connected units. Occupants should stop flushing toilets and running water-using fixtures or appliances until the responding plumber or utility advises how the plumbing can be used safely.
Is a cleared sewer line the end of the emergency?
The plumbing problem and the damaged area are separate concerns. Provo's recovery guidance distinguishes mitigation and restoration. Arrange appropriate cleanup when sewage or water has affected building materials.
When should I contact Provo Water Resources?
Contact the city for suspected public water or sewer trouble, particularly when nearby properties are also affected. Its published emergency and after-hours number is listed above; share its findings with the plumber.
What if I cannot safely reach the shutoff?
Keep clear and report that the supply is still on. Do not cross standing water, approach wet electrical equipment, or open an unsafe space to find a valve. Call 911 when there is an immediate threat to life.
