Urgent help
When the problem cannot wait
Start with these answers when you are dealing with an active leak, a backup, or a possible gas concern.Do you offer emergency plumbing service after normal hours?
Yes. 24/7 emergency plumbing help is available. Call (818) 814-8494 to explain the problem and confirm current availability for your location.
Which plumbing problems should not wait?
Call promptly for an active or uncontrolled leak, a burst-pipe concern, sewage backing up, an overflowing fixture, or several drains backing up at once. Describe what you see so the team can help determine the next step.
What should I do if a pipe bursts?
If it is safe to do so, shut off the main water supply and keep people away from standing water near electrical fixtures or outlets. Then call for plumbing help. Do not attempt a repair when electrical or structural hazards may be present.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the area immediately and avoid electrical switches, phones, flames, or anything that could create a spark. From a safe location, call your gas utility or emergency services first. Arrange qualified gas-line service after the immediate safety risk has been addressed.
