Complete Emergency Plumbing Coverage

Every Type of Plumbing Emergency Handled

Our emergency plumbing services cover everything from burst pipes and water heater failures to sewer backups and gas line leaks. We handle both residential and commercial emergency calls throughout Placerville.

Placerville’s older homes often experience sudden pipe failures, especially during winter months when freezing temperatures stress aging plumbing systems. We’re equipped to handle these seasonal emergencies along with year-round issues like clogged drains, broken fixtures, and water pressure problems.

Every emergency call includes complete diagnostic work to identify not just the immediate problem, but any underlying issues that could cause future emergencies. You get the urgent repair you need right now, plus the knowledge to prevent similar problems down the road.

How quickly can you respond to emergency plumbing calls in Placerville?

We typically arrive within 60-90 minutes for emergency calls in Placerville, depending on your exact location and current weather conditions. Our emergency plumbers are strategically positioned throughout El Dorado County to minimize response times. When you call, we’ll give you a realistic arrival window and keep you updated if anything changes. For true emergencies like gas leaks or major flooding, we prioritize those calls and often arrive even faster.

Do you charge extra for nights, weekends, and holiday emergency service?

Yes, emergency calls outside normal business hours do include an emergency service fee, but we’re completely upfront about all costs before any work begins. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for the service call and any repairs needed. We believe in transparent pricing, especially during stressful emergency situations. Many Placerville residents find our emergency rates fair compared to the potential cost of water damage or the inconvenience of waiting until Monday morning for basic plumbing service.

What types of plumbing emergencies do you handle most often in Placerville?

Burst pipes are extremely common, especially in Placerville’s older homes during winter months when temperatures drop. We also handle a lot of water heater failures, sewer line backups, and major drain clogs that cause flooding. Gas line issues, though less frequent, are always treated as priority emergencies. Many of our calls involve problems with aging plumbing systems in historic downtown properties, where original pipes finally give out after decades of service.

Are you licensed and insured for emergency plumbing work in California?

Absolutely. CG Plumbing holds a valid California contractor’s license and carries comprehensive liability insurance for all plumbing work, including emergency services. This protects both your property and our technicians during emergency repairs. We can provide proof of licensing and insurance coverage upon request. Working with a properly licensed and insured plumber is especially important during emergency situations where there’s higher risk of property damage or additional complications.

Can you help prevent future plumbing emergencies after fixing the immediate problem?

Yes, emergency calls often reveal underlying issues that could cause future problems. After handling your immediate emergency, we’ll explain what we found and recommend any preventive measures specific to your plumbing system. This might include updating old fixtures, insulating pipes prone to freezing, or scheduling maintenance for aging water heaters. We’re not pushy about additional services, but we will give you honest advice about preventing similar emergencies based on what we observe during the repair.

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

First, locate and shut off your main water supply if you’re dealing with flooding or burst pipes – this will prevent additional water damage. For sewer backups, avoid using any drains or toilets until we arrive. If you smell gas, evacuate immediately and call the gas company before calling us. Take photos of any water damage for insurance purposes, and move valuable items away from affected areas if it’s safe to do so. We’ll walk you through any specific steps for your situation when you call our emergency line.
