How fast can you get to my Palo Alto home for a plumbing emergency?

We dispatch a licensed plumber to your location within one hour of your call, 24/7. Our plumbers are stationed locally in the Palo Alto area, not coming from distant locations. When you have a true emergency like a burst pipe or major leak, we understand that every minute counts in preventing water damage. We’ll give you an accurate arrival time when you call and keep you updated if anything changes.

What counts as a plumbing emergency that requires immediate service?

Any situation where water is actively damaging your home or you’ve completely lost water service qualifies as an emergency. This includes burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, failed water heaters that are flooding, and complete loss of water or sewer service. If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us. We’d rather assess it over the phone than have you deal with extensive water damage because you waited.

Do you charge extra for emergency calls at night or weekends?

Yes, emergency service outside normal business hours includes an additional fee, which we’ll explain upfront when you call. However, we don’t hit you with surprise charges or inflated parts costs. Our emergency pricing is straightforward and competitive for the Palo Alto area. When you’re facing potential thousands in water damage, the emergency fee is typically a small fraction of what you’ll save by getting the problem fixed immediately.

Will you be able to fix my emergency or just stop it temporarily?

Our goal is always a permanent repair, and our trucks are stocked with the parts needed for most common emergency fixes. In rare cases where we need a special part or extensive work is required, we’ll stop the immediate crisis and schedule the permanent repair as quickly as possible. We don’t believe in temporary patches that fail weeks later. You’ll know exactly what we’re doing and why before any work begins.

Are your emergency plumbers licensed and insured for work in Palo Alto?

Absolutely. All our plumbers are licensed by the state of California and carry full insurance coverage. We pull permits when required by Palo Alto’s building codes and ensure all work meets local standards. This protects both you and your property. We can provide proof of licensing and insurance before starting any work if you’d like to verify our credentials.

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

First, locate and shut off the main water supply to your home if you have active flooding. The shutoff is usually near your water meter or where the main line enters your house. Move valuable items away from the affected area and try to contain the water if possible. Don’t attempt repairs yourself, especially with electrical components nearby. We’ll walk you through any immediate steps over the phone when you call to help minimize damage until we arrive.
