What We Handle During Emergencies

Burst pipes are our most common emergency call, especially in San Leandro’s older neighborhoods where galvanized pipes finally give out. We stop the water flow, assess the damage, and get your plumbing back online fast.

Water heater failures always seem to happen at the worst possible time. We handle gas and electric units, and we carry replacement parts for the most common brands found in Bay Area homes.

Sewer backups are messy and stressful, but they’re also health hazards that need immediate attention. We have the equipment to clear main line blockages and restore proper drainage.

Major drain clogs that won’t respond to a plunger or drain snake often indicate deeper problems. Our cameras can locate the exact issue and our hydro-jetting equipment can clear years of buildup in one service call.

How quickly can you respond to a plumbing emergency in San Leandro?

We typically arrive within 60-90 minutes for true emergencies like burst pipes or sewer backups. Our response time depends on your exact location in San Leandro and current call volume, but we prioritize emergencies that involve active water damage or health hazards. When you call, we’ll give you an accurate arrival window and keep you updated if anything changes. We serve all of San Leandro, from the Marina area to the hills, and our technicians know the fastest routes to every neighborhood.

What counts as a plumbing emergency versus regular service?

A plumbing emergency is any situation that’s causing immediate damage to your property or creating health and safety risks. This includes burst pipes flooding your home, complete sewer backups, gas leaks from water heater connections, and total loss of water due to main line breaks. A dripping faucet or slow drain, while annoying, can usually wait for regular business hours. If you’re not sure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, call us anyway. We’d rather help you assess the situation than have you deal with preventable damage.

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

Yes, emergency service outside regular business hours includes additional fees, but we’re upfront about all costs before we start any work. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for emergency response, labor, and materials before we begin. We believe transparency is especially important during stressful situations. Many San Leandro homeowners find that paying emergency rates is still much cheaper than dealing with extensive water damage from waiting until Monday morning. We also work with most insurance companies and can provide documentation for claims.

Can you handle emergencies in older San Leandro homes with outdated plumbing?

Absolutely. Many San Leandro homes were built in the 1940s and 1950s with galvanized pipes, cast iron drains, and outdated fixtures that require specialized knowledge to repair properly. Our technicians have extensive experience with these older systems and carry parts that fit vintage plumbing configurations. We also understand the quirks of these older homes, like how settling foundations affect pipe alignment and where the main shutoffs are typically located. If your emergency reveals that your plumbing system needs updating, we can discuss long-term solutions after we handle the immediate crisis.

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

First, locate and turn off your main water supply if you have active flooding. The main shutoff is usually near your water meter or where the main line enters your house. For water heater issues, turn off the power or gas supply to prevent further damage….valuables and furniture away from affected areas if possible. Don’t use chemical drain cleaners on severe clogs, as they can complicate our repair work and create dangerous conditions. Take photos of any damage for insurance purposes. Most importantly, stay safe and don’t attempt major repairs yourself during an emergency.

Do you guarantee your emergency plumbing work?

Yes, all our emergency repairs come with the same warranty as our regular service work. We stand behind our craftsmanship and the parts we install, even during middle-of-the-night emergency calls. If you experience any issues with our repair work, we’ll return to make it right at no additional charge. Our goal is to solve your plumbing emergency permanently, not just temporarily. We also provide follow-up recommendations if your emergency reveals underlying issues that should be addressed to prevent future problems.
