Here's How We Handle Your Crisis

When you call our emergency line, you reach someone who can actually help you, not an answering service that takes a message. If you’re dealing with active flooding, we’ll walk you through shutting off your water to prevent more damage while we’re on the way. Our trucks stay stocked with the parts and tools that Placer County homes typically need, so we can usually fix your problem on the first visit. We arrive ready to diagnose the real issue, not just treat the symptoms you can see. Then we fix the actual problem. That might mean replacing a section of pipe instead of just patching it, or addressing the root cause of a drain backup instead of just clearing the immediate blockage. When we’re finished, you get a warranty on the work and practical advice on preventing similar problems in the future.

What Emergency Service Actually Covers

Emergency plumbing service covers the disasters that can’t wait until Monday morning. Burst pipes that are actively flooding your home. Water heaters that have failed completely. Sewage backups that are creating health hazards. Severe drain clogs that have shut down your kitchen or bathroom. In Placer County, we see specific patterns. Older homes in Auburn and Lincoln deal with corroded pipes that suddenly give way. Properties throughout the county struggle with hard water mineral buildup that creates blockages. And when those Sierra Nevada temperature swings hit, exposed pipes can burst without warning. We handle the full scope of emergency repairs, from diagnosing the problem to completing the permanent fix. That includes having the right replacement parts on hand for common Placer County plumbing systems, so we’re not making multiple trips while your emergency continues. The goal is getting your plumbing back to reliable operation, not just stopping the immediate crisis.

What counts as a plumbing emergency in Placer County?

A plumbing emergency involves active water damage, health hazards, or complete loss of essential plumbing function. This includes burst pipes, water heater failures, sewage backups, major toilet overflows, and severe drain blockages that prevent normal use of your kitchen or bathroom. A dripping faucet or slow drain, while annoying, typically doesn’t require emergency service rates. However, if that slow drain suddenly becomes a complete backup that’s flooding your bathroom, it’s moved into emergency territory. When in doubt, call us. We’ll help you determine if your situation needs immediate attention or can wait for regular service hours.

How quickly can you respond to emergencies in Placer County?

Response times depend on your location within Placer County and current demand, but we prioritize getting to active emergencies as quickly as possible. Our trucks are strategically positioned to serve Auburn, Lincoln, Rocklin, Roseville, and surrounding communities efficiently. For burst pipes or active flooding, we’ll talk you through immediate damage control steps while we’re en route. This includes locating your main water shutoff and containing water spread to minimize property damage. We stock our emergency vehicles with common repair parts for Placer County’s typical plumbing systems, which means we can often complete permanent repairs on the first visit rather than making temporary patches that require follow-up appointments.

Do you charge extra for nights, weekends, and holidays?

Yes, emergency service outside regular business hours includes additional fees to cover the cost of maintaining 24/7 availability and getting technicians to your home quickly. However, we provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what the service will cost. The emergency fee covers immediate response, proper diagnosis, and access to parts and equipment that might not be available through regular suppliers after hours. When you’re dealing with active water damage or a complete loss of hot water, the cost of emergency service is typically much less than the cost of delayed repairs. We believe in transparent pricing, especially during stressful situations. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no pressure to approve work you don’t understand.

Can you handle older plumbing systems in Placer County's historic homes?

Absolutely. Placer County has many historic homes, especially in Auburn and Lincoln, and we regularly work on older plumbing systems with unique challenges. Galvanized steel pipes, outdated fixtures, and non-standard connections are common in homes built decades ago. Our experience with older systems means we understand how to work with existing infrastructure while bringing it up to current standards where necessary. We carry parts that interface with older plumbing and know which modern materials work best for upgrades and repairs. When working on historic properties, we take extra care to preserve the home’s character while ensuring the plumbing operates reliably. This often means creative solutions that blend old and new components effectively.

What should I do while waiting for emergency plumbing service?

If you have active water flowing where it shouldn’t, locate and turn off your main water shutoff immediately. This is usually near where the water line enters your home or by your water meter. If the problem is isolated to one fixture, look for a shutoff valve near that specific fixture. For sewage backups, avoid using any plumbing fixtures and keep people and pets away from affected areas. Open windows for ventilation if safe to do so, and don’t try to clean up sewage yourself. Take photos of any water damage for insurance purposes, but don’t delay calling us to document the scene. Move valuable items away from water if you can do so safely, and place buckets or towels to contain spreading water until we arrive.

How do I know if I need emergency service or regular appointment?

If the problem is causing active damage, creating health hazards, or completely preventing you from using essential plumbing, it’s an emergency. Burst pipes, sewage backups, no hot water in winter, and major toilet overflows all qualify for immediate service. Issues that are annoying but not causing immediate damage can usually wait for regular business hours. A slow drain, dripping faucet, or running toilet are problems that need attention but don’t typically require emergency rates. Consider the consequences of waiting. If delaying repair could result in water damage, health risks, or complete loss of plumbing function, it’s worth the emergency service fee to address it immediately.
