The Vision Behind Valerio Emergency Plumbing

Valerio Emergency Plumbing was founded on the belief that emergency plumbing requires more than a simple repair—it demands a property-protection strategy. When burst pipes, sewer backups, or major leaks occur, the priority is stopping damage fast and protecting the structural integrity of the home or building.

Our leadership team combines Master Plumber–level craftsmanship with hands-on experience in water damage response and restoration. This unique blend of technical precision and emergency expertise allows us to deliver plumbing solutions designed not just to fix the problem—but to prevent secondary damage and long-term property issues.

The Valerio Difference

Our Background in Water Damage Makes the Difference

Valerio Emergency Plumbing is built on real-world emergency experience—and that starts with Jennifer and Alejandro Restrepo. Long before being involved in Valerio Emergency Plumbing, we spent years operating a water damage and property restoration business, responding to burst pipes, flooding, sewer backups, and catastrophic water losses throughout our Connecticut and New York communities. That background shapes everything we do today.

Because we understand how quickly water damage spreads—and how often plumbing failures are the root cause—we approach every plumbing call with a property-protection mindset. We know what happens when leaks aren’t stopped fast, when repairs are rushed, or when water is allowed to migrate into walls, floors, and structural systems.
