As a licensed California plumbing contractor, we carry full insurance protection for every job. We’ve built our reputation by being the plumbers who actually show up when we say we will.

Our emergency plumbing services cover everything from burst pipes and water heater failures to sewer backups and gas line leaks. We handle both residential and commercial emergency calls throughout Placerville.

Many of our calls involve problems with aging plumbing systems in historic downtown properties, where original pipes finally give out after decades of service.
We also handle water heater failures, sewer line backups, and major drain clogs that cause flooding. Gas line issues, though less frequent, are always treated as priority emergencies with immediate response.

Absolutely. We hold a valid California contractor’s license and carry comprehensive liability insurance for all plumbing work, including emergency services. This protects both your property and our technicians during emergency repairs.
We can provide proof of licensing and insurance coverage upon request. Working with a properly licensed and insured plumber is especially important during emergency situations where there’s higher risk of property damage or additional complications.
Our licensing and insurance give you peace of mind that the work will be done correctly and that you’re protected if anything unexpected happens during the repair process.
Yes, many plumbing emergencies can be prevented with regular maintenance and early intervention. We offer comprehensive plumbing inspections that identify potential problems before they become costly emergencies.
During an inspection, we check for signs of wear in aging pipes, test water pressure, examine fixtures for leaks, and assess your water heater’s condition. This is especially important in Placerville’s older homes where original plumbing systems may be nearing the end of their useful life.
We’ll provide you with a prioritized list of recommended repairs or replacements, helping you address issues on your timeline rather than during a middle-of-the-night emergency.
First, locate and shut off the water supply to the affected area if possible. For individual fixtures like toilets or sinks, there’s usually a shut-off valve nearby. For major leaks, you may need to shut off your home’s main water supply.
Move valuable items away from the affected area to prevent water damage. If there’s standing water, try to contain it with towels or buckets, but don’t put yourself at risk. Take photos of the damage for insurance purposes if it’s safe to do so.
Never attempt to repair gas lines yourself, and if you smell gas, evacuate immediately and call both us and your gas company. We’ll walk you through any additional steps over the phone while our technician is on the way.
