Burst Pipes, Sewer Backups & More — Common Emergencies We Fix
Burst Pipes and Severe Leaks
A burst pipe can flood walls, flooring, basements, and crawl spaces fast. If you are dealing with a burst pipe Munster homeowners should shut off the main water valve first, then call Feikema.
Our technicians locate the break, stop the leak, and repair or stabilize the damaged pipe. If a permanent repair cannot be completed immediately, we will explain the safest temporary option and the next step.
Sewer Backups and Overflowing Drains
A sewer backup is more than an inconvenience. It can create a health hazard and damage flooring, walls, and belongings. Stop using toilets, sinks, showers, laundry, and dishwashers until help arrives.
Feikema uses professional rodding equipment and camera inspection when needed to identify the blockage and clear the line. If the issue points to a larger sewer problem, we will explain what we found before moving forward.
Water Heater Failures
A leaking or failed water heater can leave your home without hot water and may cause damage if the tank is actively leaking. Feikema handles water heater emergencies throughout Northwest Indiana with same-day service available when scheduling allows.
We inspect the unit, check for leaks, test key components, and explain whether repair or replacement is the better option.
Frozen Pipes
Frozen pipes can stop water flow and may burst if pressure builds inside the line. Do not use open flame or unsafe heat sources to thaw a frozen pipe.
Feikema uses safe pipe thawing methods to restore flow and reduce the risk of additional damage. We can also help identify vulnerable pipe areas so you can prevent the same problem from happening again.

"This is our second time using them. I've been using them since we moved here to NWI and they're fantastic. They come out pretty quickly, diagnose professionally and efficiently and get the work done quick, and they charge you a fair price. I couldn't be happier."

"I've had Feikema do plumbing for me and have had them clean out my septic system when I need it done. I have had them work for me for 50 years and they have been able to rod my pipes whenever need promptly. I would recommend them for plumbing and sanitation and their prices are reasonable."
