Emergency Plumbing Services in Orange County
Burst Pipe Repair in Orange County
A burst pipe can cause thousands of dollars in water damage in a short time. We locate the burst, shut off the water if you have not already, make the repair, and assess the rest of the system for additional risk. Common causes in OC include corroded copper and galvanized pipes that have thinned over decades of hard water exposure.
Sewer Backup Emergency in Orange County
A sewer backup sends wastewater into your home through floor drains, toilets, and tub drains. We clear the blockage, clean out the line, and run a camera to determine the cause (roots, collapsed pipe, grease). If the backup caused contamination, we help coordinate with restoration companies.
Gas Leak Repair in Orange County
After SoCalGas has shut off the gas supply, we locate the leak using gas detection equipment, make the repair, pressure test the line, and coordinate with SoCalGas for the meter to be turned back on. We handle gas leaks at appliance connections, underground gas lines, and interior gas piping.
Water Heater Emergency in Orange County
A leaking or failed water heater can flood your garage, utility closet, or wherever the unit is located. We can replace a failed water heater the same day in most cases. If your water heater is leaking from the tank itself, replacement is the only fix. If the leak is from a fitting, valve, or connection, we can usually repair it.

A slab leak is a leak in the water supply or drain pipes running through or under your concrete foundation. Signs include warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water when nothing is on, or a sudden spike in your water bill.
