Top 5 Plumbing Emergencies That Require an Immediate 24/7 Plumber
Plumbing disasters are never convenient. They come when it’s late at night, the weekend, or a holiday. But a burst pipe or backed-up sewer line doesn’t just inconvenience you; it threatens your property and health. This isn’t the time for DIY; this is when you need rapid response from 24/7 plumbers.
At Cali’s Choice Plumbing, we serve you and your home around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Our emergency plumbing service is here to protect your property whenever chaos strikes your California home.
Here are our five most urgent plumbing emergencies, along with the reasons why you should call us first.
1. Burst or Leaking Pipes
Few disasters can cause as much damage to your home as a burst pipe. In a matter of minutes, hundreds of gallons of water can flood your home, ruining drywall, flooring, and electrical wiring. A frozen pipe, excessive water pressure, or corroded pipes are the most common causes.
Call our 24/7 plumbers as soon as you spot water stains, a sudden change in pressure, or a visible water leak. We’ll turn off the main water valve to stop the flow, shut off the power to the affected area if it’s safe to do so, and repair the leak to keep you from paying a water restoration bill.
2. Clogged or Overflowing Toilets
Few sights and sounds will panic you more than a toilet that just won’t stop overflowing. Wastewater flooding your bathroom isn’t just gross, it’s dangerous for you and your family.
While minor clogs may be remedied with a plunger, consistent or multiple backups likely point to a more serious sewer problem. Call our emergency service, and we’ll provide immediate relief by safely unclogging your toilet and restoring sanitation so that you can use your bathroom without fear of further damage.
3. Sewer Line Backups
Sewer line issues can be some of the most serious home emergencies a homeowner can face. Backups are typically indicated by multiple drains in the home clogging simultaneously, foul odors in the house, or water pooling around a floor drain. Grease or fat buildup, tree root infiltration, and collapsed or damaged sewer pipes are the most common causes of these issues.
Cali’s Choice Plumbing offers quick diagnostics and sewer line repair. Our experts can quickly clear a blockage using the latest tools and technology while safeguarding your home from the spread of contamination.
4. Water Heater Failures
When your water heater goes down, so does your whole family’s daily routine. Cold showers, dishes piled high in the sink, and dirty laundry can all make an emergency a miserable experience. A leaking water heater also adds the threat of water damage.
Signs of a problem include rusty water from your hot faucets, strange banging sounds when you turn on your hot water, and puddles around your water heater. Our plumbers can repair or replace your water heater day or night, whether it’s an older model tank heater or a more modern tankless water heater.
5. Major Drain Clogs or Slow Drains
Slow drains are one thing, but when you have more than one clogged drain at once, your main sewer line is likely the issue. Don’t ignore a main sewer line clog, as it can lead to sewage backup and flooding.
Our emergency plumbers will use non-invasive and safe plumbing methods to clear the clog before it becomes a more significant issue. Our 24/7 availability ensures that Cali’s Choice Plumbing is always ready to keep your drains flowing and your family safe.

FAQs
Q: What should I do first in a plumbing emergency?
A: The most critical first step is to shut off your main water supply, preventing further flooding. If it’s safe to do so, also turn off the electricity to the affected areas, then call a 24/7 emergency plumber, such as Cali’s Choice.
Q: How soon can Cali’s Choice respond to an emergency?
A: We provide 24/7 emergency plumbing service, often able to arrive within an hour, depending on your location. We always have a team of experts on standby to address emergency plumbing issues.
Q: Does insurance cover plumbing emergencies?
A: Yes, many times. Your homeowners’ insurance will typically cover damage from a sudden pipe burst or water heater leak. Our technicians can provide you with all the necessary documentation for insurance claims.
Q: Should I use a chemical drain cleaner for clogs?
A: We don’t recommend it. Chemical drain cleaners commonly found in stores can be harmful to your pipes and are unlikely to resolve the underlying issue with a stubborn clog. Professional drain cleaning is a safer and more effective long-term solution
Q: Do you provide commercial or residential emergency plumbing?
A: Yes. Cali’s Choice Plumbing serves homes, apartments, offices, and commercial properties with 24/7 emergency plumbing services throughout Southern California.
