A plumbing emergency is anything that can cause active damage or make the home unsafe. That includes a burst pipe, a slab leak that’s flooding the floor, sewage backing up into tubs or toilets, a gas leak, no hot water for the whole house, or an overflowing toilet you can’t stop. If water is spreading or sewage is coming up, that’s an emergency.
Yes. We provide emergency plumbing service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in Brea, CA and throughout Orange County. Nights, weekends, holidays — if you’ve got an active leak or a backup, call (714) 482-3982 and we’ll respond.
We prioritize emergencies where water or sewage is actively coming out. Because we’re already working in Brea and nearby Orange County cities like Fullerton, La Habra, Yorba Linda, Anaheim, and Placentia, we can dispatch fast instead of sending somebody from the other side of the county. The goal is to stop the damage first, then repair the problem.
If water is leaking from a pipe, shut off the nearest angle stop valve (under the sink or behind the toilet). If the leak is bigger — like a burst main line — turn off the main water shutoff to the house. If sewage is backing up, stop running any water in the home until we clear the line. And if you smell gas, get everyone out and call us immediately.
Yes. Overflows and sewage coming up in a tub or shower are top-priority calls. We can clear the blockage, restore flow, and let you use your bathrooms again. If it’s a main sewer line issue, we can also schedule trenchless sewer repair or hydro jetting after the immediate emergency is handled.
If your water heater fails and the entire house has no hot water, we treat that as an urgent call — especially for families and businesses that need hot water for sanitation. We repair gas and electric tank water heaters and tankless systems, and if the unit is cracked or leaking we can quote a replacement on the spot.
Emergency service can cost more than a standard scheduled appointment because we’re dispatching immediately at night, early morning, or on weekends. But you’ll always be told the situation and next step before work continues. We don’t play bait-and-switch or surprise-fee games.
All of the above. We handle single-family homes, rentals, HOAs, restaurants, retail, and light commercial. If water is on the floor or a sewer line is backing up into a public restroom, it’s an emergency — we’ll respond.
If you’ve fully stopped the leak by shutting off the main and there’s no more active flooding, you can sometimes wait. If water is still coming out, sewage is backing up, or you don’t know where the shutoff is, call now. Waiting lets water soak drywall, cabinets, floors, and framing — and that’s how a small leak becomes an insurance claim.
Yes. SoCal Plumbing & Rooter is a licensed and insured plumbing contractor in California, serving Brea, CA and the entire Orange County area. You’re not getting a random handyman — you’re getting a professional who can identify the source, stop the damage, and get you back online safely.
