Emergency Plumber in Sacramento

Why this comes up in Sacramento

Root-caused sewer backups and slab leaks are the most common emergencies in Sacramento. A crack in an old clay lateral lets roots expand, and within hours sewage can back up into the house. A burst water line under a slab dumps gallons into the foundation, and the plumber we route you to needs to identify whether the break is in your water line or in the city main. The raised-foundation homes get emergency calls from foundation settling that has ruptured drain lines.

Do this before you call

Shut off the main water valve before you call. It is usually in the basement, crawlspace, garage, or at the street meter. Then call and we will route you to whoever can get there fastest.

emergency plumber questions in Sacramento

What should I do if sewage is backing up into my home?

Stop using water and call immediately. The plumber we connect you with will come assess whether the blockage is in your line or the main sewer. Do not go into the basement or yard where sewage may have pooled.

How long does it take the plumber to clear a blocked sewer line?

A simple root blockage might clear in an hour with a snake or hydro-jetting. If the line is cracked or collapsed, the plumber we route you to will tell you that excavation is needed and what the timeline looks like. Most clogs in the Sacramento clay lines come from roots, so clearing is often possible the same day.

Is a wet spot in my yard an emergency?

It depends. If it is near the sewer line and smells like sewage, or if your water bill has spiked, the plumber we connect you with should inspect it. A burst sewer line leaks slowly at first and then saturates the soil. A water line leak can wash away foundation support if left unchecked. Call the same day.
