How fast can an emergency plumber get to me?

We aim to have someone en route within 60 minutes for emergency calls. Actual arrival depends on your location and traffic; the dispatcher will give you a realistic window when you call.

What should I do while waiting for the plumber?

Shut off the main water valve, turn off the water heater, open a faucet to relieve pressure, and move valuables away from water. If you smell gas, leave the house and call SoCalGas or 911 from outside before calling us.

Where is my main water shut-off valve?

In most Los Angeles homes it's on the street-facing side of the house where the line enters, often near a hose bib or in the garage, or at the meter box near the curb. The dispatcher can help you find it over the phone.

Do you handle gas leaks?

Yes, we repair gas lines and test for leaks. If you smell gas, leave the building first and call SoCalGas or 911 — once it's safe, we'll locate and repair the leak and restore service.

Emergency Plumbing

Plumbing emergencies don't wait for business hours — neither do we

A burst supply line can release hundreds of gallons of water an hour. A sewer backup can make a home unlivable in minutes. When something goes wrong at 2 a.m. on a Sunday, you need someone who actually answers the phone — not an answering service that calls back in the morning.

Our emergency plumbing service runs around the clock across Los Angeles, Orange County, the San Fernando Valley, and the Westside. A live dispatcher picks up, walks you through shutting off water or gas if needed, and gets help on the way. We aim to have someone en route within 60 minutes on emergency calls.

Emergency doesn't mean a blank check. You get a written flat-rate price before any work begins, and we don't add surcharges for nights, weekends, or holidays. If a full repair can wait until morning, we'll make it safe now and schedule the rest at the same rate.

Honest pricing

How much does emergency plumbing cost?

Every job is different, so we don't guess over the phone and then change the number on site. We look at the problem, then give you a written flat-rate price before any work starts. The price you approve is the price you pay — and it's the same at 3 a.m. on a Sunday as it is on a Tuesday afternoon.

What affects the price:

What failed — a fitting, a section of pipe, or a whole appliance
Access — open crawlspace versus inside a finished wall or slab
Whether water extraction and drying are needed
Never the time of day — no night, weekend, or holiday surcharges

Real customers

What homeowners say after the rescue.

Our reviews come from real emergencies — and how we handled them.

Emergency Sewer Backup

“We had a sewer backup on a Sunday night — our laundry room was completely flooded. I called Rooter Rescue at 9 PM and they had a tech at the door within 45 minutes. He cleared a major root intrusion in the main line and had everything flowing again by midnight. I couldn't believe the response time. They're the only plumber I'll ever call.”

Sarah M.

Slab Leak Detection

“My water bill had been climbing for months and I couldn't figure out why. Rooter Rescue used electronic detection equipment to find a slab leak under my kitchen floor without ripping up a single tile — found it in under an hour. The repair was clean, fast, and came in exactly at the estimate. These guys are total pros.”

Mike T.

Water Heater Replacement

“My water heater died on a Friday morning. I called three plumbers — two couldn't get to me until next week. Rooter Rescue had a new unit installed that same afternoon. The tech explained every option clearly, gave me a fair price without any pressure, and left the work area cleaner than he found it. Five stars isn't enough.”
