24/7 Emergency Plumbing
24/7 emergency plumber for DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Serving DC, Maryland, and Virginia from Suitland, MD.
A burst pipe or a sewage backup does not wait for business hours, and neither do we. When you call Jackson Plumbing, a real person picks up, day or night, and we get to you fast across the DC metro.
The first thing we do on an emergency call is stop the damage, get the water shut off, and figure out the actual problem. Then we fix it, and we clean up after ourselves.
When to call us right away
Some plumbing problems can wait for a scheduled visit. These cannot. If you are dealing with any of the below, call (202) 840-1998 now and get the water shut off if you safely can.
- A burst or leaking pipe flooding your home
- Sewage backing up into a tub, toilet, or floor drain
- No hot water when you have a household depending on it
- A water heater leaking or failing
- A main line break or a shutoff that will not hold
What to expect on the day
You get a real arrival window when you call, and we keep it. Once we are in the door, Brandon does not rush to a quick fix. Quality over quantity is how he runs the business, so he takes the time to track down the cause instead of treating a symptom that comes back next month. You hear the diagnosis and the price, and you give the go-ahead before any tools come out. When the job is finished, we test it, tell you what we did, and sweep up behind ourselves.
A licensed Master Plumber and a price you agree to before work begins: that is every visit, and we clean up before we go. Reach out with the details and we will get back to you, or call day or night. If you would like to see the work before you decide, our gallery has photos of jobs we have done.
Stop the damage first
In an emergency, minutes matter. Water spreads, and every minute it runs is more damage. On an emergency call we get the water controlled first, then we diagnose and repair.
Brandon has handled every kind of plumbing emergency you can imagine across nearly three decades in the trade. Whatever you are looking at, it is not the first time we have seen it.
- Real person answers 24/7, no answering service runaround
- We stop the damage, then fix the cause
- Nearly three decades of emergency experience

Why the DMV calls Jackson Plumbing
Plenty of companies in the Washington metro can send someone to clear a drain. Fewer can send a licensed Master Plumber. Brandon holds Master Plumber license PLM40000116, and he is the one who diagnoses your problem and does the work from start to finish. You get a straight explanation and a price before anything starts, from a plumber who knows the codes.
Brandon’s career started at 16, working alongside his uncle. He has spent nearly three decades in the trade since, and the lessons from those first years still run the shop: listen before you pick up a tool, and tell people the truth about what they need. He leaves the work area cleaner than he found it, too. A lot of our work today comes from customers who have called us before.
Brandon holds Master Plumber license PLM40000116. He is also credentialed in Maryland (109495), Virginia (2710083375), and with WSSC (P-83640), ASSE certified, and A-rated by the BBB. For your home or building, that means the jobs where mistakes are expensive, like gas lines, backflow devices, and water heater installs, are handled by someone fully qualified to do them, whether it is a quick repair or a full replacement.
It also means we stand behind what we do. If something we installed or repaired ever acts up, you call us and we come back, because our reputation across the DMV is worth more than any single invoice. That is the difference between a plumber who is here today and one who is building a name he intends to keep. We would rather do one job right and earn a customer for the next twenty years than rush through three and lose all of them.
Honest pricing, no hidden fees
The part people dread most about calling a plumber is the bill, because too many outfits hide fees, pad the invoice, or quote one number and charge another. We do not work that way. You get a clear, honest price before any work begins, and that is the price you pay. No surprise line items, no mystery charges, no upsell to the most expensive option when a simpler fix will do. If we think a repair will hold, we tell you, even when a replacement would earn us more. That kind of straight dealing is rare in this trade, and it is exactly why our customers keep calling and keep referring their neighbors. When you are ready to get it handled, call (202) 840-1998 any hour, or tell us what is going on and Brandon will get right back to you.

M. Owens JonesGoogle ReviewsStraight Answers
Do you really answer 24/7?
Yes. Call (202) 840-1998 any hour, any day, and a real person picks up. Plumbing emergencies do not keep business hours, so we do not either.
What should I do while I wait for you?
If you can safely reach it, shut off the water, either at the fixture or at the main shutoff. That stops the damage from getting worse. Then call us and we will talk you through the rest.
How fast can you get here?
We move fast on emergencies across the DMV. When you call, tell us where you are and what is happening, and we will give you an honest arrival window.
Is emergency service more expensive?
We give you a fair price with no hidden fees, and we tell you the cost before we start the work. No surprise emergency surcharges buried in the invoice.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Burst pipes, active flooding, sewage backups, a failed water heater, and main line breaks all count. If water is running where it should not be, call us.
