Burst pipe, a leak through the ceiling or a blocked drain near the station or out in Bercy? Call an English-speaking plumber, 24/7 — and we'll send a vetted local pro to your door.
A plumbing emergency in the 12th can catch you at the worst moment: stepping off a TGV at Gare de Lyon into a short-let with an overflowing toilet, or finding water pooling under the kitchen units in a glossy new Bercy flat just as you're settling in. The 12th is a place of arrivals and contrasts — and the last thing you want is to explain a flood in French at 2am.
Emergency Plumber Paris is an English-speaking dispatch line covering the whole 12th arrondissement. You call, you explain the problem in plain English, and we send a vetted independent plumber who works in the area — with the price agreed before anyone picks up a wrench.
The 12th has two very different faces, and the pipework follows suit. Out east toward Bercy Village and the Bibliothèque riverfront, much of the building stock is recent — converted wine warehouses and modern blocks with pressurised systems, combi boilers and concealed pipe runs behind tiling. Closer to the Marché d'Aligre and the old Faubourg Saint-Antoine, you're in former cabinetmakers' courtyards and 19th-century buildings where the plumbing is far older — ageing lead and copper pipes, shared risers (colonnes montantes) and limescale from Paris's hard water. The jobs we're called to most often here include:
Turn off the water at the stopcock (robinet d'arrêt) — usually under the sink or by the meter — then call us. Stopping the flow protects your flat and the neighbours below while the plumber is on the way; we'll prioritise it.
The 12th is large but exceptionally well linked, which works in your favour: a vetted plumber is rarely far away. Whether you're beside Gare de Lyon itself, out at Bercy Village or the Bercy arena, along the Coulée verte René-Dumont (the elevated park running from Bastille to the ring road), by Place de la Nation, near the Marché d'Aligre, or down toward Daumesnil and the Bois de Vincennes, we dispatch the nearest available pro. Métro lines 1, 6, 8 and 14 plus RER A and RER D all stop in the arrondissement, and stations like Gare de Lyon, Bercy, Nation, Reuilly-Diderot and Daumesnil sit inside our patch — so help reaches you quickly, usually within the hour, day or night.
