We’re fully licensed and insured because that’s not optional when you’re dealing with water damage and emergency repairs. You can verify our credentials, check our local reputation, and trust that we’ll handle your emergency professionally.

Emergency Plumbing Repair Process

Here's How We Handle Your Emergency

First, you call our emergency line and actually reach a person, not a voicemail. We’ll ask a few quick questions about your situation to understand the urgency and what tools we might need.

Next, we dispatch a licensed technician to your location. Our response time depends on where you are in Jackson and what other emergencies we’re handling, but we prioritize based on severity and potential for property damage.

When we arrive, we’ll assess the situation and give you upfront pricing before starting any work. No surprise bills, no hidden fees, no pressure tactics. If you approve the price, we get to work immediately with the goal of stopping the immediate problem and getting your plumbing functional again.

After the emergency repair is complete, we’ll explain what we did, what might have caused the problem, and whether you need any follow-up work. All our emergency repairs come with a warranty because we stand behind our work.

24/7 Emergency Plumbing Service

What's Included in Emergency Service

Our emergency plumbing service covers the urgent repairs that can’t wait until Monday morning. This includes burst pipes, major leaks, water heater failures, sewer backups, and any plumbing problem that’s causing immediate damage to your property.

You get a licensed technician with a fully stocked truck, upfront pricing, and the experience to diagnose problems quickly. We’re not the cheapest option in Jackson, and that’s intentional. Emergency plumbing work done wrong the first time costs you more money and creates bigger headaches.

We handle everything from simple pipe repairs to complex emergency situations that require immediate action to prevent thousands of dollars in water damage. Our goal is to stop the immediate problem, make your plumbing functional, and give you a clear picture of any additional work that might be needed once the emergency is resolved.

How quickly can you respond to plumbing emergencies in Jackson?

Our response time varies based on your location in Jackson and current emergency calls, but we typically arrive within 60-90 minutes for true emergencies. We prioritize calls based on severity – a burst pipe flooding your house gets faster response than a clogged drain. When you call, we’ll give you an honest estimate of when we can get there and keep you updated if anything changes. We’re local to the Jackson area, so we don’t have to drive from Sacramento or Stockton like some of the larger companies.
A plumbing emergency is any situation that’s causing immediate damage to your property or creating unsafe conditions. This includes burst pipes, major leaks that won’t stop, water heater failures that are flooding your space, sewer backups, and loss of water to your entire home. A slow drain or running toilet is annoying, but it’s not an emergency. If you’re not sure whether your situation qualifies, call us – we’ll help you determine if it needs immediate attention or if it can wait until regular business hours.
Yes, emergency service outside normal business hours includes an additional service charge because we’re pulling technicians away from their families and personal time. However, we’ll tell you exactly what the total cost will be before we start any work, including the emergency service fee. There are no surprise charges or hidden fees added to your bill after the work is done. We believe in upfront pricing, especially during stressful emergency situations when the last thing you need is billing surprises.
Absolutely. All our technicians are licensed California plumbing contractors, and CG Plumbing carries full liability insurance and worker’s compensation coverage. This protects you if something goes wrong during the repair work. We can provide proof of licensing and insurance if you need it for your records or insurance claim. Unfortunately, not all companies operating in the Jackson area maintain proper licensing and insurance, so it’s always smart to ask before letting anyone work on your plumbing emergency.
Most emergency plumbing repairs can be completed on the first visit because our trucks carry a comprehensive inventory of common parts and fittings. However, some situations require specialized parts that we might need to order, especially for older homes in Jackson with unusual plumbing configurations. When that happens, we’ll make temporary repairs to stop immediate damage and schedule a follow-up visit to complete the permanent fix. We’re honest about what we can accomplish on the spot versus what needs additional time or materials.
First, locate your main water shutoff valve and turn off water to your house if you have a major leak or burst pipe. The shutoff is usually near where the water line enters your home. For smaller leaks, you might be able to shut off water just to the affected fixture. Move valuable items away from the leak area and try to contain water with buckets or towels if possible. Don’t attempt major repairs yourself – you could make the situation worse or create safety hazards. Take photos of any damage for insurance purposes, and stay off the phone so we can reach you with updates on our arrival time.
