When to call
Active water, sewage or gas concerns should not wait
Call for a burst pipe, sewer backup, leaking water heater or suspected gas-line problem. If safe, shut off the affected water supply. For suspected gas leaks, leave and contact the gas utility or 911 from a safe location.
What to do before help arrives
If water is escaping and you can reach the correct shutoff safely, turn off the fixture valve or main water supply. Avoid affected drains, move belongings away from standing water and keep people away from unsafe areas.
If you smell gas, avoid flames and electrical switches, leave the area and contact the gas utility or emergency services from a safe location before arranging repair.
What to tell the team when you call
- What happened and when it started
- What is leaking, backed up or unusable
- Whether water or gas has been shut off
- Whether more than one fixture is affected
- Any visible damage, sounds or odors
Call directly rather than using the online form for urgent problems.
Emergency scheduling
Availability varies. Calling is the fastest way to explain the problem, confirm current scheduling and determine the safest next step.
Local plumbing experience since 2004
Skul Plumbing serves residential and commercial properties in Broomfield and surrounding communities. One customer reported a quick response to a difficult leak and credited the team with locating the source after earlier attempts had not produced an answer. That experience illustrates the value of careful diagnosis; it is not a guaranteed response time.
