When to Call for Emergency Plumbing Service

Not every plumbing issue requires an emergency call, but certain situations pose an immediate threat to your property, health, and safety. If you are experiencing any of the following in your La Mesa home, it’s crucial to seek professional help without delay:

• Burst Pipes or Major Leaks: Water gushing from a pipe in your wall, ceiling, or basement is a clear emergency. Uncontrolled water flow can lead to structural damage, electrical hazards, and mold growth in a matter of hours.
• Sewer Line Backup: If multiple drains in your home are clogged, you notice gurgling sounds from your toilets, or raw sewage is backing up into your showers or tubs, you likely have a main sewer line blockage. This is a serious health hazard that needs immediate attention.
• No Water: A sudden, complete loss of water throughout your house can indicate a major problem with your water main. This disrupts daily life and requires prompt diagnosis and repair.
• Gas Leaks: If you smell rotten eggs or hear a hissing sound near a gas appliance or line, this is the most critical emergency. Evacuate your home immediately, call your gas company from a safe distance, and then contact us for professional gas line repair.
• Water Heater Failure: A catastrophically leaking water heater tank can flood its surrounding area. Other serious signs include loud banging or popping noises or a complete lack of hot water.
• Overflowing Toilets: A toilet that continues to overflow after plunging is a sign of a severe clog that can cause unsanitary and damaging flooding.

Immediate Steps to Take in a Plumbing Emergency

While you wait for our La Mesa technician to arrive, taking a few key steps can significantly minimize damage to your home.

• Shut Off the Main Water Supply: The most important action you can take during a water-based emergency is to stop the flow of water. Your main water shut-off valve is typically located in your garage, basement, crawl space, or outside near your water meter. Turn the valve clockwise until it is fully closed.
• Turn Off the Water Heater: To prevent overheating or damage to the unit once the water supply is off, it’s wise to shut down your water heater. For a gas heater, turn the switch to the "Pilot" position. For an electric heater, switch off the corresponding breaker in your electrical panel.
• Contain the Water: If possible, use buckets, towels, and mops to contain any standing water and prevent it from spreading to other areas of your home.
• Avoid Using Drains: If you suspect a sewer line clog, do not run any faucets, flush toilets, or use the washing machine, as this will only worsen the backup.
• Clear the Area: Move any valuable or electrically powered items away from the affected area to protect them from water damage and prevent electrical shock hazards.
