Emergency Plumbing Repair in San Jose, CA

How long does it take for an emergency plumber to come out?

An emergency plumber can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours to make it to your property depending on distance, weather, and availability. As such, plumbing companies that offer emergency plumbing services try for an “as soon as possible” approach and try to make it within a 24-hour time span.

What do you do in a plumbing emergency?

First, if your health or safety is being put at risk as seen with gas leaks, vacate the premises and then call emergency services as needed before contacting a plumber. For water leaks, if you are able to shut your water main you can do so if access presents no trouble.

What is considered a plumbing emergency?

A plumbing emergency is anything that disrupts the use of your plumbing lines (water, sewer, and gas) or presents a risk of danger to occupants. Some of the most common calls made for emergency plumbing include those made for broken pipes, gas leaks, and blocked drainage systems. You may also see issues with water heaters as well.

Leak Repair

Any of your pipes or fixtures may leak at times, and this can happen suddenly and become serious rather quickly. This is why you should not try to fix a leak yourself, especially if you are unsure of where the leak originates. However, you may need help with repairs as soon as you notice an issue, so you don’t find yourself with extensive water damage or worse. We can assist you with all types of leak repair, whether there is a large problem or a small one.

Toilet Repair

Something else that we are experienced with is toilet repair. There are many things that may happen to your toilet and while it may be possible to unclog your toilet yourself, this isn’t a good idea if you don’t have experience doing so. Moreover, if you have a toilet that is getting older, you must be careful with it, and make sure that it is in good working order at all times. You can even talk to us about getting a new toilet, if this is something that you are interested in.

Drain Cleaning

Drain cleaning is also something that we can lend a hand with. This will be helpful if your shower or sink often backs up or doesn’t drain properly. It may be that you need to have your drain cleaned out, which should be done professionally, for best results. Teams like ours have special cleaning solutions as well as techniques, like hydro jetting, which can get to the root of the problem and flush it out.

Gas Leak Detection

If you have gas lines in your home, this is something that you don’t want to malfunction. When they do, you may be at risk for a gas leak within your home. If you ever smell sulfur indoors or hear hissing noises around your gas appliances, it is definitely time to call our crew. This can be a dangerous situation that must be handled with care. Be sure to let us know and don’t try to address the problem yourself. We are equipped to work on gas lines and have experience detecting leaks within them, as well as repairing them.
