Emergencies we handle
If water is going where it shouldn't — or sewage is coming up — that's our call.
Burst pipes & major leaks
A burst supply line can dump gallons per minute. We get the water stopped, repair or replace the failed section, and help you limit the damage. Burst pipe repair →
Sewage backups
Sewage coming up through drains or toilets is a health hazard, full stop. Emergency response to stop it — then proper diagnosis of the line in daylight.
Flooding & active leaks
Water heater ruptures, failed supply lines, overflowing fixtures — we stop the water first, stabilize the situation, and lay out next steps clearly.
No hot water
A dead water heater in winter — or a leaking one any time — counts. We diagnose on the spot and tell you straight whether it's a repair or a replacement.
Overflowing fixtures
Toilets and tubs that won't stop running over. We'll clear the blockage or fix the failed valve — and check why it happened so it doesn't repeat.
After-hours drain & sewer
Mainline stoppages don't keep business hours. Emergency unclogging, camera diagnosis, and hydro jetting when the line needs it.
What counts as an emergency?
Not every plumbing problem needs a 2am visit. Here's our honest sorting.
True emergencies
Burst pipes, sewage backing into the home, major active leaks, no water at all, a ruptured water heater. If it's damaging your home or a health hazard — call (818) 669-9019 now.
Urgent, not emergent
Dripping faucets, slow drains, a running toilet, lukewarm water. Annoying, worth fixing soon — but safe to schedule during the day. Call and we'll tell you honestly which one you've got.
First steps
Shut off the nearest fixture valve — or the main shutoff if you can't find it. Move valuables from the water, keep clear of outlets near wet areas, and skip the chemical drain cleaners. Then call us. Drain emergency? Start here →

Before an emergency: know your shutoffs
Two minutes now saves a lot of water later. Find these in your home before you need them.
Main water shutoff
Usually where the line enters the house, near the front hose bib or in the garage, with a backup valve at the meter box by the curb. Learn how to shut off the main water valve. Pipe already burst? See burst pipe repair.
Your sewer cleanout
The capped pipe outside that lets us clear a backed-up main without pulling a toilet. Find it with our cleanout guide. During a sewage backup, stop using water in the house until the line is cleared.
When it's the city
Water gushing at the meter or in the street is the water utility's to shut off: LADWP, Burbank Water and Power or Glendale Water & Power. A sewer main overflowing in the street goes to the city: 311 in the City of LA, or Burbank Public Works.

Emergency FAQ
Asked at 2am, answered straight.
How fast can you get to my home?
We're Valley-based and dispatch 24/7. Call (818) 669-9019 and we'll give you a straight answer on timing right now — no vague windows.
Do you charge extra for nights or weekends?
No overtime fees — the price is flat-rate and agreed upfront before work starts, whether it's noon or 2am on a holiday. See what drives the price on our Honest Pricing page.
What should I do while waiting?
Shut off the nearest fixture valve — or the main water shutoff if you can't find it. Move valuables away from the water, avoid electrical outlets near wet areas, and don't use chemical drain cleaners. Then call us.
I smell gas. What should I do?
Leave the house immediately — don't flip switches or light anything. From a safe distance, call your gas utility or 911 first. Once the area is declared safe, call us at (818) 669-9019 about the gas line itself.
Will you really come at 3am on a holiday?
Yes. Burst pipes and sewage backups don't check the calendar, and neither do we. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Burst pipes, major active leaks, sewage backing up into the home, no water at all, a leaking water heater, or anything flooding. A dripping faucet or slow drain can usually wait for morning — call and we'll tell you honestly which one you're dealing with.
Is the sewage backup from my line or the city main?
If the backup is only in your house, it is usually your lateral. If neighbors are also backed up, or sewage is coming out of a manhole in the street, the city main may be blocked: call 311 in the City of LA or Burbank Public Works. We can clear and camera your side either way.
What do I do if a pipe bursts?
Shut off the water at the fixture valve or the main shutoff, stay clear of electricity near the water, open a low faucet to drain the lines, take photos, and call (818) 669-9019. Our burst pipe repair page walks through each step.
