Emergency Plumbing Services Nevada County

We Handle Every Type of Plumbing Emergency

Burst pipes, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, broken water heaters, major leaks—we’ve seen it all and fixed it all. Our emergency plumbing services cover everything from simple drain clogs that won’t budge to complex sewer line failures that threaten your entire property. Nevada County’s winter weather creates specific challenges that many plumbers aren’t prepared for. Frozen pipes in attics can dump hundreds of gallons into your living space. Ground shifts from heavy rainfall can crack main lines. We stock our service vehicles with the tools and parts needed for these local conditions. Whether you’re in Grass Valley dealing with a midnight water heater failure or in Nevada City with a basement flooding from a burst pipe, we respond fast and come prepared. Our emergency service includes everything needed to stop the immediate problem and restore your plumbing system to full working order.

What qualifies as a plumbing emergency in Nevada County?

A plumbing emergency is any situation that could cause property damage, health hazards, or loss of essential services if not addressed immediately. This includes burst pipes flooding your home, sewer backups creating unsanitary conditions, overflowing toilets that won’t stop, complete loss of water supply, or gas leaks from plumbing connections. In Nevada County, we also consider situations like frozen pipes that are about to burst or major leaks that could cause structural damage as emergencies. If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, call us anyway—we’d rather help you prevent a disaster than clean up after one. The key is acting fast when water is actively damaging your property or when you’ve completely lost essential plumbing services that your family depends on daily.

How quickly can you respond to emergency calls in Nevada County?

We dispatch emergency technicians immediately upon receiving your call, with most Nevada County locations receiving service within 60-90 minutes depending on your exact location and current weather conditions. We maintain service vehicles stocked with common emergency parts throughout our coverage area. For true emergencies like burst pipes or sewer backups, we prioritize these calls above all routine work. Our technicians are on-call 24/7, including weekends and holidays, because plumbing disasters don’t follow business schedules. During severe weather events that commonly affect Nevada County, like winter freeze periods or heavy storm seasons, response times may extend slightly due to increased call volume and road conditions, but we always communicate realistic timeframes upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.

What should I do while waiting for your emergency plumber to arrive?

First, locate and shut off your main water supply if you have active flooding or can’t isolate the problem to a single fixture. The main shutoff is typically near your water meter or where the main line enters your home. For individual fixtures like toilets or sinks, look for the local shutoff valve nearby. Move valuables and electronics away from any water damage areas, and try to contain or redirect water flow using buckets, towels, or tarps if possible. Take photos of the damage for insurance purposes, but don’t attempt any repairs yourself—emergency plumbing problems often involve pressurized water or gas lines that require professional tools and expertise. If you suspect a gas leak in connection with your plumbing emergency, evacuate the area immediately and call your gas company’s emergency line first, then call us. Never use electrical switches or create sparks near suspected gas leaks.

Do you provide upfront pricing for emergency plumbing services?

Yes, we provide clear, upfront pricing before beginning any emergency work. Our technician will assess your situation, explain exactly what needs to be done, and give you a firm price quote that includes parts and labor. No surprises, no hidden fees, and no charges just for showing up and looking at the problem. Emergency work does typically cost more than scheduled repairs due to after-hours availability and the urgent nature of the service, but we believe you should know exactly what you’re paying before we start. We’ll also explain if there are different repair options available at different price points. If we discover additional problems during the repair that weren’t visible during the initial assessment, we’ll stop work and get your approval for any additional charges before proceeding. You’re always in control of what work gets done and what it costs.

Are your emergency plumbers licensed and insured in Nevada County?

Absolutely. All CG Plumbing technicians are fully licensed (License #1092353), bonded, and insured to work throughout Nevada County and our entire service area. Every team member also passes background checks and drug testing before joining our company. Our licensing covers all types of emergency plumbing work, from simple repairs to complex installations and everything in between. We maintain comprehensive liability insurance that protects both your property and our workers during emergency service calls. We’re also familiar with local Nevada County building codes and permit requirements, which becomes important if your emergency repair requires any significant plumbing modifications or replacements. You can verify our licensing status with the California Contractors State License Board using our license number.
