What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?
If water is actively damaging your property—or a safety risk is present—treat it as urgent.
Burst Pipes & Flooding
Fast shutoff guidance and immediate repair to reduce water damage and restoration costs.
Sewer Backup
Backups can be hazardous. We diagnose the cause and restore flow as quickly as possible.
No Hot Water
If your water heater fails suddenly, we can troubleshoot and get you back up and running.
Overflowing Toilets
Stop the overflow, clear the blockage, and address underlying drain or fixture issues.
Gas smell or suspected leak?
Leave the building, avoid switches/flames, and call your gas utility or 911 first. After the area is safe, call +1 650-583-4522.
What To Do Right Now (Before We Arrive)
A few quick steps can prevent major damage and keep everyone safe.
-
Shut off the water
Use the fixture shutoff (under sink/toilet) or your main water valve if the leak is widespread.
-
Turn off the water heater (if needed)
If you suspect a water heater leak or overheating, turn it off and avoid hot surfaces.
-
Contain water & avoid contaminated areas
Use towels/buckets. For sewer backup, keep people and pets away and avoid contact.
-
Call with details
Tell us what’s happening, where the shutoff is, and whether water is still running.

What information should I have ready?
