Does Your Plumbing Leak Affect a Necessity?

Water coming through the ceiling from upstairs is an emergency, but an out-of-commission toilet or clogged sink can be emergencies too! If your plumbing problem can wait till the next day, you may not need emergency plumbing. But if you need to get back up and running in the middle of the night, we’re ready to roll. 

Can You Prevent Further Damage? 

A bucket under a slow leak or other preventive measures can temporarily slow down or control damage. If your plumbing leak can wait, you can minimize further damage by turning off the water to the fixture. If your toilet leaks, the shutoff valve is right behind the base. For leaky sinks, the shutoff is usually beneath the sink. If you can’t find the shutoff valves or have trouble turning them off, you can always cut off the main water supply at your home’s water meter. 

If you can live without running water overnight, you can call us in the morning. But if your plumbing leak has the potential to cause damage to your home, it’s time for emergency plumbing help. 

San Diego’s Best Emergency Plumbing Services

No plumbing leak gets better on its own, so any leak has the potential to cause costly damage if left unchecked. Here are the most common situations that call for emergency plumbing repairs.

Broken Pipes

If a busted pipe is spraying water all over, you should turn off the water inside or at the water meter until your emergency plumber arrives.  

Water Heater Leaks

When a hot water tank drips, has a strange odor, or is making noises, there’s a problem that needs immediate attention. 

Washing Machine Leaks

Washing machines use a lot of water, and if yours leaks, much of it can soak into your floor and cause damage. If water comes from underneath your washer, you may have a plumbing emergency that needs attention fast.

Sewage Backups

If your toilet is overflowing or water bubbles up in the sink or shower when you flush, you may have a sewer blockage. Not only can sewage backups cause water damage, but they are also a serious health concern and require immediate attention. They stink too!

Emergency plumbing problems are distressing, but when you know who to call, you can minimize the damage and stress. The next time you have a leak, keep calm, do what you can to slow it down and minimize any damage. Then, instead of searching for “Emergency plumber near me,” call the #1 plumbing services in San Diego for fast service and a job done right.

What David says about us

Service for new garbage disposal. My ancient garbage disposal quit working, went online to get Bill Howe’s number, immediately received and accepted chat to describe my needs. Prompt call back to schedule an appointment, service tech Allen was out same morning, which was important to fit my work schedule. Job estimate was clear, work done fully to my expectations, area left clean, and price was very fair.
I was not surprised — I have used Bill Howe plumbers for several other tasks in the past. I have always found their staff to be helpful, attentive, and the plumbers very courteous and capable.

What Mira says about us

Bill Howe never fails us! We had a drain overflow, and Scott came (on a Saturday) to look at it and offer solution. He was punctual, professional, and extremely helpful. I should also praise the main office for always being helpful and always finding solutions. Very grateful to have you in San Diego!

What Ed Gohlich says about us

Cory was our technician on this job. We had a time sensitive repair issue and Bill Howe understood and assisted with getting the job done quickly.
Cory was on time to start the job and finished it quickly. Upon his leaving our home he’s was courteous, very knowledgeable, explaining what the problem was and how he fixed it. Very good communication and this is the way it’s has always been when we use Bill Howe plumbing.
Great company to work with.
Thanks Cory.

What Bridgett says about us

I am extremely happy with the service we received from Bill Howe Plumbing. We were given an incorrect diagnosis of our main sewer line from another vendor, but Bill Howe’s servicemen came out for a second opinion, correctly diagnosed our problem and resolved our back up issues. We will continue to use Bill Howe for all our future plumbing needs!

Thank you Bill Howe Plumbing.
