What to Expect When You Call Us
Homeowners calling during a plumbing emergency usually have the same three questions: Will they actually show up? Can I trust them? What’s this going to cost? Here’s what we offer:
- Consistent, transparent pricing: Our rates don’t spike because it’s 2 a.m. No hidden fees, no surprises on the invoice.
- Financing through Service Finance and GoodLeap: If a major repair or replacement is needed, multiple financing options are available so cost isn’t a barrier to getting the problem fixed.
- Same-day and weekend availability: Not every problem strikes overnight. We offer same-day and weekend appointments alongside our 24-hour emergency service.
- Technicians who show up prepared: Our team arrives on time with the tools needed for the job and explains options in plain language, not technical jargon.
- All makes and models: We work on all plumbing and HVAC equipment regardless of brand.
- Warranties available: Ask about warranty coverage on work performed.
Our Lennox Premier Dealer status reflects the training standards and professional accountability we hold across all of our services, including plumbing. We also help customers access rebates on eligible equipment when a replacement is part of the solution.
Is This a Plumbing Emergency? How to Decide
Not every plumbing problem needs a midnight call. Knowing the difference helps you act quickly when it matters and avoid unnecessary stress when it doesn’t.
Call immediately if any of these apply:
- Water is actively flowing and can’t be stopped
- Sewage is backing up into the home
- You suspect a gas leak anywhere in the house
- A pipe has burst and water is coming through walls, ceiling, or floor
- The water heater is leaking heavily or making loud popping or rumbling sounds
- A toilet is overflowing and won’t stop after the shutoff valve is closed
These can likely wait until morning:
- A slow drip from a faucet or under a cabinet (place a bucket and avoid using the fixture)
- A toilet that runs but still flushes
- Low water pressure that has been gradual rather than sudden
- A single slow drain
One important note: in our dry Southern California climate, hidden leaks can trigger rapid mold growth. What looks minor above the surface can become a serious moisture problem fast. When you’re not sure, calling for an assessment is a reasonable step. Sewer backups qualify as immediate emergencies because of the health risks from sewage exposure.
Steps to Take While You Wait for Us
A few quick actions before our technician arrives can limit damage and speed up the repair.
- Shut off the main water supply: The shut-off valve is typically in the garage, at the front exterior wall, or near the water heater. If it’s seized, shut off at the meter at the curb.
- Relieve line pressure: After shutting off the main, open a faucet at the lowest point in the house to drain remaining water from the lines.
- Move belongings away from standing water: Furniture, electronics, rugs, and personal items removed quickly can suffer less secondary damage.
- If you smell gas, leave first: Don’t use electrical switches or open flames. Exit the building and call SoCalGas from a safe location before calling us.
- Document the problem: A quick photo or short video of the affected area helps our technician diagnose faster and gives you a record for insurance purposes.
