When a plumbing emergency hits a home in Erlanger, Florence, or anywhere across Northern Kentucky, the clock starts immediately. A burst pipe in a crawl space can release hundreds of gallons before most homeowners even realize what’s happening. A sewage backup doesn’t get better on its own. And in a region where temperatures regularly drop below freezing in winter and spring rains push drainage systems to their limits, plumbing emergencies here tend to move fast and get expensive quickly.
Arlinghaus is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays, for emergency plumbing service throughout Erlanger, Florence, Covington, Independence, and all of Northern Kentucky. We’re not a national dispatch center routing your call to whoever is available. We’re a family-owned company based right here in Erlanger, and when you call us at 2am with a burst pipe, you’re reaching a team that knows your area, knows your housing stock, and arrives with a fully stocked truck ready to fix it. Fast, licensed help when you need it most.

Erlanger, Florence, and the surrounding Northern Kentucky communities have a combination of conditions that make plumbing emergencies both more likely and more severe than in many other markets.
NKY’s freeze-thaw cycle is one of the most significant factors. Erlanger and Florence average 30 or more freeze days per year, and older homes throughout the area, particularly those built before the 1980s in Erlanger, Covington, and Newport, have crawl spaces and exterior walls where pipe insulation has degraded significantly over the decades. When temperatures drop sharply and stay there, those pipes are at serious risk of freezing and bursting.
Clay-heavy soil throughout Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties holds moisture and shifts with temperature swings, putting ongoing lateral pressure on underground sewer lines. A sewer line that was properly aligned at installation can shift, crack, or separate over years of this movement and the result is a backup that often happens with little warning.
NKY’s limestone-fed water supply adds another layer. At 120–150 mg/L of hardness, the mineral content in local water accelerates scale buildup inside tank water heaters and supply lines, shortening equipment life and increasing the likelihood of sudden failure.
Knowing these conditions isn’t just background information for us. It’s what allows our team to diagnose emergency situations faster and more accurately than a company without genuine local roots.
Every emergency call Arlinghaus takes is treated as same-day service. Our trucks are fully stocked with the parts and tools needed to handle the most common emergency repairs in a single visit. We know from experience what NKY homes typically need, and we come prepared. Most emergency repairs, such as burst pipe repairs, sump pump replacements, water heater emergencies, sewage backups, are resolved the same day we arrive.
We serve Erlanger, Florence, Independence, Covington, Fort Wright, Fort Mitchell, Hebron, Burlington, Union, and the surrounding Northern Kentucky communities. If you’re not sure whether we cover your area, call us and we’ll tell you right away.
When your plumbing fails at the worst possible time, here’s why NKY homeowners call Arlinghaus:
