A burst pipe, sewer backup, or gas smell is not something to wait on. Water damage spreads fast, and gas is dangerous. Call us right now and we'll have a plumber at your door within 45 minutes to stop the leak and protect your home.
If water is spraying or pouring from a pipe, find your main water shut-off valve. It's usually near the street or where the line enters your home. Turn the handle all the way clockwise. This stops new water from flooding your house while we drive over.
Grab furniture, boxes, and anything else that can be moved out of the path of water. Water damages fast and spreads to drywall, subfloors, and whatever is in the way. Even 15 minutes of moving things makes a difference.
Air flow slows mold growth. Open closets, cabinets, and interior doors so moisture can move through the house instead of soaking into walls and insulation.
Do not use your phone, light switches, or anything electrical inside. Walk out, close the door behind you, and call us from your car or a neighbor's house. Gas is life-threatening and requires immediate attention.
When our plumber arrives, they bring diagnostic equipment and repair tools. The first thing they do is locate the exact source of the problem, whether it's a burst pipe, a slab leak, a sewer backup, or a gas line issue. Then they stop the damage: shutting valves, clearing blockages, or isolating the problem line. Most emergency calls are handled that same day.
A true plumbing emergency means water is actively flowing where it shouldn't, you're smelling gas, sewage is backing into your home, or a pipe is visibly split. These are dangerous and damage your property minute by minute. Leaks that are slow, fixtures that drip, or clogged drains that drain slowly can wait for a scheduled appointment.
Aptos sits near the coast with older homes that have cast iron drains and corroded piping. Tree roots in sewer lines and corrosion in water lines are common in the area. Our plumber arrives ready to handle the problems we see most: broken pipes, backed up sewers, and water heater failures. We use camera inspection to see inside pipes without digging, and we can locate a leak on your property line or under your slab.
Call now. A real person picks up. We'll ask you what you're seeing, confirm we can get there in 45 minutes, and send a fully equipped plumber who can handle the job on the first trip.
Nights, weekends and holidays cost the same as Tuesday morning. Call (831) 555-0101 and a Aptos plumber picks up.
