If This Is Happening Right Now, Call Immediately
These are genuine emergencies that require professional help immediately. Don't wait. Call (307) 587-3713 now.
Burst or Gushing Pipes
Water spraying from pipes or sudden water pooling inside your home is a crisis. Turn off your main water valve immediately and call emergency service.
Frozen & Burst Pipes
Wyoming winters freeze pipes fast. If pipes have burst or frozen water is backing up, you need emergency repair before water damage spreads.
Gas Leak or Gas Smell
Rotten egg smell from gas lines is dangerous. Evacuate immediately, call 911 first, then call us from a safe location. Do not use electrical switches or appliances.
Sewer Backup or Overflow
Sewage backing up into toilets, tubs, or drains is a health hazard. Stop using all water and call emergency service immediately.
No Heat in Winter
Furnace failure during a Wyoming winter is a genuine emergency. Your family's safety depends on fast heating repair or replacement.
No Hot Water
Water heater failure is uncomfortable in any season and dangerous in winter. We provide same-day emergency water heater repair or replacement.
What to Do While Waiting for Emergency Service
Taking these steps immediately can prevent further damage and protect your home and family while we respond.
Immediate Actions for Water Emergencies
Minutes matter when water is flooding your home. Take these steps before our technician arrives:
- Turn off your main water supply valve immediately (usually in basement or crawlspace)
- Turn off electricity to affected areas to prevent shock hazards
- Move valuable items and furniture away from flooding areas
- Place buckets or towels under active leaks to minimize damage
- Open windows and doors to help water dry and prevent mold
- Take photos of damage for insurance claims
- Do not turn water back on -- wait for professional inspection
Don't know where your main shut-off valve is? Find it before you have an emergency. We can show you during a service visit.
Immediate Actions for Gas Emergencies
Gas leaks are life-threatening. Handle them correctly:
- Do not turn on electrical lights or switches
- Do not use any open flames, cigarettes, or spark-creating tools
- Evacuate all occupants immediately to outside the home
- Call 911 from outside the home or from a neighbor's phone
- Then call us at (307) 587-3713 from a safe distance
- Do NOT re-enter the home until authorities and our technician clear it as safe
Your family's life is more important than any repair. When in doubt about a gas smell, evacuate and call professionals.
Immediate Actions for Heating Emergencies
When your heat fails in winter, act fast:
- Shut off your furnace immediately if you smell burning or unusual odors
- Look for signs of carbon monoxide: headaches, dizziness, nausea in all occupants
- If you suspect carbon monoxide, evacuate and call 911 immediately
- Seal off cold rooms and gather household members in smaller, insulated spaces
- Use safe alternative heat only: space heaters with automatic shut-off, fireplaces
- NEVER use ovens, stoves, or grills to heat your home (deadly carbon monoxide risk)
- Call us immediately at (307) 587-3713 for emergency furnace repair
In Wyoming winters, heating failure can become dangerous quickly. Don't wait for business hours.
Emergency Plumbing & Heating Services We Provide 24/7
Whatever your emergency, Wrangler Plumbing has the expertise, equipment, and availability to help immediately.
Burst Pipe Repair
Burst pipes cause rapid, devastating water damage. Our technicians locate the burst, shut off water, contain flooding, and provide expert repair or replacement the same day. We work with insurance companies on documentation.
Frozen Pipe Emergency
Wyoming freezes pipes overnight. If your pipes are frozen, we thaw them carefully without causing bursts. If they've already burst, we repair immediately. We also provide winterization to prevent future freezing emergencies.
Sewer Backup & Overflow
Sewage backing into your home is a health hazard and a crisis. We use camera inspection to locate blockages, roots, or breaks, then remove obstructions or arrange sewer line replacement. Same-day emergency service available.
Gas Leak Detection & Repair
Rotten egg smell indicates a gas leak. We respond immediately with professional leak detection equipment, shut down unsafe lines, and provide licensed gas line repair. Safety is our absolute priority.
Water Heater Failure
No hot water is miserable, especially in winter. We can repair most water heaters same-day, or install a new tank or tankless system. We work nights and weekends when emergencies happen.
Emergency Furnace Repair
Furnace failure in a Wyoming winter is dangerous. We diagnose and repair furnace problems 24/7, including pilot light failures, no heat conditions, and emergency shutdowns. Boiler repair available too.
Heating System Failures
Heat pumps, boilers, and radiant floor heating systems need emergency repair in winter. Our technicians can service any heating equipment to restore warmth to your home immediately.
Flooding & Water Damage
Basement flooding, spring runoff entering crawlspaces, or water damage from burst pipes requires fast professional response. We identify sources, control water, and provide recommendations for mitigation and repair.
What Makes Our Emergency Response Different
When you're in crisis, you need more than a technician. You need a trusted partner who's been helping Cody families for 40 years.
A Real Person Answers Your Call
Call (307) 587-3713 at 3 AM on a Sunday and get a real person, not an answering service or automated menu. You'll talk directly to someone who can dispatch an experienced technician immediately and answer your urgent questions.
We understand that when you're in crisis--water flooding your basement, no heat in January, gas smell in your home--you need instant help and reassurance, not a phone tree.
Fully Stocked Emergency Vehicles
Our emergency vehicles are outfitted with the parts, tools, and equipment to repair most problems on the first visit. We carry pipe fittings, PVC, copper, water heater parts, furnace components, and more.
You won't hear "I need to order parts" when we arrive. Most emergency repairs are completed the same day, ending your crisis faster and saving you money on temporary fixes.
Single-Visit Emergency Repairs
Our goal is to repair your emergency completely on the first visit when possible. We diagnose thoroughly, discuss your options, and complete the repair the same day.
Unlike larger regional companies, we don't treat emergencies as a way to schedule follow-up appointments. We fix the problem so you can get back to your life.

Wyoming-Specific Emergencies We Handle
Frozen Pipe Season (Oct - Apr)
Wyoming's brutal cold freezes pipes overnight without warning. We respond to frozen pipe emergencies throughout winter to thaw pipes carefully, prevent bursts, and repair damage quickly. Prevention is key--ask about winterization before freeze season arrives.
Blizzard Heating Failures
When a blizzard knocks out your heat and temps drop to -20 degrees, it's not just uncomfortable--it's dangerous. We respond to furnace and heating emergencies 24/7 throughout winter to keep Big Horn Basin families safe and warm.
Spring Runoff Flooding
Big Horn Basin creeks and rivers flood during spring runoff, sometimes entering basements and crawlspaces. We help manage water intrusion emergencies and can assess and repair water-related damage to your systems.
Remote Location Response
We serve Cody, Powell, Lovell, Greybull, Basin, Worland, Thermopolis, Meeteetse, Byron, Clark, Shell, Burlington, and Ten Sleep. Our service area covers hundreds of square miles. We're committed to responding across all of it.
Mountain Snow Load Failures
Heavy snow loads on roofs and gutters can damage water pipes and drainage. We repair snow-related water damage and drainage failures to prevent interior damage.
Well & Septic Emergencies
Many homes in our service area use wells and septic systems rather than municipal water/sewer. We provide emergency service for well pump failures, septic backups, and pressure tank issues.
Emergency Prevention Tips for Wyoming Homes
The best emergency is the one that never happens. These prevention steps can help you avoid costly crises.
Winterization & Freeze Prevention
- Have us winterize your pipes with insulation and heat tape before October
- Know where your main water shut-off valve is before an emergency
- Keep thermostat set to at least 55 degrees even when away in winter
- Insulate crawlspaces, basements, and exterior wall pipes
Annual Maintenance & Monitoring
- Schedule annual plumbing, heating, and HVAC maintenance before winter
- Monitor water pressure (normal is 40-80 PSI)
- Keep gutters, downspouts, and grading clear for proper drainage
- Flush your water heater annually and replace anode rod every 3-5 years
Don't flush anything but toilet paper and human waste. Clogs in sewer lines lead to backups and expensive repairs. Avoid pouring grease, food, and other solids down drains. Call (307) 587-3713 to schedule preventive service.
