Emergency plumber in North Highlands, 24 hours a day
An emergency plumber handles plumbing failures that cannot wait until morning: a burst supply line, a sewer backup, a water heater leaking through the floor, or a gas smell near an appliance. The phone is picked up at every hour, so a Sunday night pipe failure gets the same attention as a Tuesday morning clog.
Not every plumbing problem is an emergency, and we will tell you honestly which yours is. A slow bathroom sink can wait for a daytime visit. Water coming through a ceiling, a toilet that will not stop overflowing, or no water at all cannot.
The first five minutes of a plumbing emergency
- Find the main water shutoff, usually near the front of the house or at the meter, and turn it off for any burst pipe or serious leak
- Switch off the water heater if the leak is near it, at the breaker for electric or the gas control for gas
- During a sewer backup, stop using water and do not flush
- If you smell gas, get everyone outside first and make the call to the gas company or 911 from there
- Photograph the damage and the source for your landlord or insurance company
- Call our 24/7 line and tell us what you see, so the plumber can arrive prepared

Plumbing help for the homes of North Highlands
North Highlands is a community of about 49,300 people living in roughly 16,700 housing units, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2020 count, and about half of the occupied homes are rented. That mix shapes the calls plumbers get. Owners need fast repairs, while renters need clear information they can pass to a landlord.
The area grew alongside McClellan Air Force Base, which, according to McClellan Park's published history, opened in 1936, reached its peak employment in 1967 and closed in 1995. The community first appears in the 1960 census, so many homes and their sewer and water lines are decades old. Older pipe and older neighborhoods are where slab leaks and repeat clogs tend to show up, and a camera or a leak locator gives the plumber real information to work with.
Watt Avenue, Elkhorn Boulevard and Walerga Road carry most of the traffic through town, and we serve homes along all three as well as the streets between them.
When to call, and what we can help with
The services above cover most calls. Drain and sewer trouble is the most common, from a single clogged fixture to a main line that needs hydro jetting. Water heater failures come next, and a heater that has stopped making hot water can often be fixed with a part rather than replaced.
Hidden water loss is the one people wait on too long. A meter that moves with every tap off, a warm floor or an unexplained bill means water is escaping somewhere, and finding it early costs less than repairing the damage later.

Plumbing questions, answered
Yes. We take emergency calls around the clock, weekends and holidays included. Arrival times shift with the job queue and where you are, so ask for an estimate when you call.
Water you cannot stop, sewage backing up, a leaking or burst pipe inside the house, a gas smell, or no water at all. A slow drain or a dripping faucet can usually wait for a daytime visit.
Shut off the main water valve for a burst pipe, stop using water during a sewer backup, switch off the water heater if it is leaking, and photograph the damage. A gas smell means everyone goes outside before anyone makes a call.
Yes. Call us, and we can explain the problem in plain terms you can pass to your landlord. Tell the landlord in writing as soon as you can, since many repairs are the owner's responsibility.
Yes. Tell us the type and the symptom when you call. See our page on water heater repair for the common causes of no hot water.
Yes, we take calls from Citrus Heights, Antelope, Orangevale, Fair Oaks, Carmichael and Rio Linda as well. Call and give your address to confirm.
Turn off every tap and appliance, then watch your water meter. If it keeps moving, water is escaping. That pattern is common with a slab leak, and it is worth a call.
