Our emergency plumbing services cover every type of urgent situation that can strike River, CA homes. Burst pipes are our most common emergency call – California’s aging infrastructure and temperature fluctuations can cause pipes to fail without warning, flooding homes within minutes.
Sewer backups are another serious emergency we handle regularly.

We have the specialized equipment to clear blockages and restore proper flow quickly.
Water heater failures, gas leaks, and major drain blockages round out our most frequent emergency calls.

Whatever the emergency, we’re equipped to handle it safely and effectively, 24 hours a day.
We typically arrive within 60 minutes of your call, often faster depending on your location in River and our technician availability. Our emergency response team is strategically positioned throughout Riverside County to minimize response times when you’re dealing with a plumbing crisis.
