When your pipe bursts at 2 AM or your water heater fails on a holiday weekend, every minute costs you money. Water doesn’t respect business hours, and neither do we.
Our emergency plumber team gets what’s at stake. Your $368,000+ home investment. Your family’s belongings. Your sanity when everything goes wrong at once.
We show up fast, diagnose the real problem, and stop the immediate crisis before it becomes a five-figure insurance claim. You get back to your normal routine instead of dealing with soggy carpets and restoration crews for weeks.
We’ve been El Dorado County’s go-to emergency plumber for over two decades. Licensed, insured, and locally owned means we understand exactly what Kelsey homeowners deal with.
The older homes downtown with original plumbing. The newer developments with different challenges. The seasonal issues that hit Northern California properties. We’ve fixed emergency calls in every neighborhood, and we know what works.
Family ownership keeps our overhead low and our service personal. When you call us at 3 AM, you’re talking to people who live here too. We’re not a national chain – we’re your neighbors who happen to be really good at fixing plumbing disasters.
Call our 24/7 dispatch line and talk to a real person who knows plumbing emergencies. We ask the right questions to understand your situation and get the right emergency plumber headed your way within the hour.
Our technician arrives with a fully loaded truck and diagnostic equipment including sewer cameras. We assess what’s wrong, explain it in normal English, and give you the exact price before touching anything. No diagnostic fees, no surprise charges.
We fix the emergency first, then address the root cause so it doesn’t happen again. We walk you through what we did and what to watch for. Your crisis becomes a solved problem with a clear explanation of how we prevented future issues.

We handle the full range of plumbing emergencies that hit Kelsey homes. Burst pipes from freeze damage, water heater failures, severe drain clogs, sewer backups, gas line leaks – we’ve seen it all and fixed it all.
Kelsey’s location in El Dorado County brings specific challenges. Winter freeze issues in exposed pipes. Root intrusion in older sewer lines from mature trees. Pressure problems in hillside homes. Our emergency plumber team knows these local issues inside and out.
Our service trucks carry the parts needed for most emergency repairs, which means we usually complete your job on the first visit. When we can’t, we make your home safe and get the follow-up work scheduled at your convenience, not ours.
Emergency plumber rates in California run $150-$250 per hour, with many companies tacking on emergency fees of $75-$100. We believe in upfront, honest pricing with zero surprise charges.
We tell you exactly what the job will cost before we start any work. Our emergency rates reflect the after-hours nature and urgency of the service, but we keep costs reasonable because we’re locally owned with lower overhead than big corporate plumbing companies.
Your final cost depends on the complexity of your emergency and repair time needed. Simple fixes cost less than major overhauls, but you’ll always know the price upfront. No diagnostic fees, no “trip charges,” no surprises on your bill.
Any plumbing issue that threatens immediate property damage or safety qualifies as an emergency. Burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, gas line problems, and complete water or heat loss need immediate attention from an emergency plumber.
Some issues can wait for business hours – a single slow drain when you have other bathrooms, a small drip that’s been there for months, a running toilet that still flushes. But when water flows where it shouldn’t or you smell gas, that’s emergency territory.
Not sure if your situation qualifies? Call anyway. We’d rather help you assess the problem over the phone than have you wake up to water damage or deal with a safety hazard all night.
Our goal is 60-90 minutes for emergency plumber response in Kelsey, though actual time depends on current call volume and your exact location in El Dorado County.
When you call, our dispatcher gives you a realistic arrival time based on where you are and which technician is closest. We update you if anything changes so you’re never left wondering when help arrives.
True emergencies like burst pipes or gas leaks get priority response, and we often beat our estimated time. Our emergency plumber technicians are positioned throughout Northern California specifically to minimize response times to communities like Kelsey.
Yes, our emergency plumber services outside normal business hours carry premium rates, which is standard across the plumbing industry. Night, weekend, and holiday calls require 24/7 technician availability and often disrupt personal time.
We keep emergency rates as fair as possible because we’re family-owned with lower operating costs. We also provide clear upfront pricing so you know exactly what emergency plumber service costs before work begins.
The premium you pay for emergency response typically saves major money by preventing extensive water damage and protecting your belongings. Waiting until Monday morning often means thousands more in damage and restoration costs.
Every one of our emergency plumbers is fully licensed by California and carries comprehensive insurance coverage. This protects you and our technicians during emergency repairs at your Kelsey home.
Our state licensing means we’ve met California’s strict requirements for plumbing knowledge and safety standards. Our insurance protects your property if accidental damage occurs during repairs, giving you complete peace of mind during stressful emergencies.
We provide proof of licensing and insurance before starting work. Any legitimate emergency plumber should show you these credentials immediately. If they can’t or won’t, that’s your signal to call someone else.
For major leaks or burst pipes, shut off your main water valve immediately. It’s usually near your water meter or where the main line enters your home. Stopping the water flow prevents thousands in damage.
Move valuables away from the flooded area and contain water with buckets, towels, or tarps if possible. Take photos for insurance but don’t attempt DIY repairs – emergency plumbing often involves dangerous high-pressure situations.
If you smell gas, evacuate immediately and call 911, then call us from a safe location. Never flip switches or create sparks near suspected gas leaks. Our emergency plumber dispatcher provides specific guidance for your situation when you call.
