Emergency Plumbing Repair Process

Here's How We Handle Your Emergency

You call our emergency line and talk to a real person, not a recording. We ask the right questions to understand your situation and give you an honest timeframe for arrival.

Our technician shows up with a fully stocked truck and diagnostic tools. First priority is stopping any active water damage. Then we assess the full scope of the problem and explain your options in plain English, including upfront pricing for the repair.

Once you approve the work, we fix it right the first time using quality parts and proper techniques. Before we leave, we test everything, clean up our work area, and make sure you understand what we did and why.

How quickly can you respond to plumbing emergencies in Citrus Heights?

Our typical response time for emergency plumbing calls in Citrus Heights is 60-90 minutes, depending on your exact location and current call volume. We prioritize calls based on severity – burst pipes and active flooding get immediate priority over issues that can wait a bit longer. When you call, we’ll give you an honest timeframe and update you if anything changes. We keep our emergency trucks fully stocked and strategically located to serve Citrus Heights and surrounding areas as quickly as possible.
A plumbing emergency is any situation causing immediate water damage or health hazards. This includes burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, complete water heater failures, and severe drain clogs affecting multiple fixtures. Issues like a dripping faucet, running toilet, or minor leak that you can contain with a bucket can typically wait for regular business hours. When in doubt, call us – we’ll help you determine if it’s truly urgent or if it can be scheduled for a regular appointment at a lower cost.
Yes, emergency calls outside regular business hours include an emergency service fee to cover the cost of 24/7 availability and immediate response. However, we believe in upfront pricing – we’ll tell you the total cost before starting any work, including the emergency fee. There are no surprise charges or inflated parts costs just because it’s an emergency. Many customers find that paying the emergency fee is worth it to prevent extensive water damage that would cost thousands more to repair.
Absolutely. All our plumbers are licensed by the state of California and our business carries full liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. We can provide proof of licensing and insurance before starting work if you need it for your records. This protects you from liability if something goes wrong and ensures the work meets local building codes. Never hire an unlicensed plumber for emergency work – the short-term savings isn’t worth the risk to your property and safety.
First, shut off water to the affected area if possible – there’s usually a shutoff valve near toilets and under sinks. For major leaks, you might need to shut off your main water supply at the street or where it enters your home. Move valuables away from the leak and try to contain water with buckets or towels. Don’t attempt major repairs yourself, especially if you’re dealing with hot water lines or sewer issues. Take photos of any damage for insurance purposes. We’ll walk you through any specific steps when you call based on your particular situation.
Yes, we regularly work on older homes throughout Citrus Heights and understand the unique challenges they present. Older homes often have galvanized pipes, outdated fixtures, and plumbing that’s not up to current codes. We carry parts and fittings for older systems and know how to make reliable repairs that integrate with existing plumbing. Sometimes we need to recommend upgrades for safety or code compliance, but we’ll always explain your options and work with you to find solutions that fit your budget and timeline.
