Emergency Home Repair

Emergency plumbing help for owner-occupied homes — hot water tank repair or replacement, service line replacement, and major plumbing repairs.

Information last reviewed July 2026

What it is

When the hot water tank dies or a main line fails, this program sends a plumber to your house — covering hot water tank repair or replacement, emergency water service line replacement, and other major plumbing repairs for income-eligible homeowners.

The program can be used once every two years, and repairs also focus on water conservation.

A broken furnace or boiler can be covered through the weatherization program’s emergency track — the same application, marked “emergency” — often with a faster turnaround. If you have no heat, call us today.
