Some plumbing problems can wait until Monday morning. Others absolutely cannot. A burst pipe flooding your home at midnight, raw sewage backing up through your bathtub, or a gas leak — these are emergencies that demand immediate professional response. Davis Plumbing and Heating Inc. provides true 24/7 emergency plumbing service throughout Riverside County, 365 days a year.

True Plumbing Emergencies That Need Immediate Service

  • Burst or broken pipes with active flooding — Water flowing freely inside your walls, under your house, or flooding your floors. Every minute matters — water causes thousands in damage quickly.
  • Main sewer line backup into your home — Raw sewage in your tub, shower, or sink is a health hazard and a plumbing emergency requiring immediate attention.
  • Gas leak — If you smell gas, exit immediately and call your gas company (SoCalGas: 1-800-427-2200) and 911. Do NOT call a plumber first.
  • Overflowing toilet that won’t stop — Turn off the water supply valve at the base of the toilet immediately. If that doesn’t stop it, shut off the main.
  • No heat in extreme cold — Especially critical for households with elderly residents, infants, or medical needs.
  • Water heater failure causing flooding — A ruptured water heater tank can release 40-80 gallons quickly.

Urgent (But Can Wait a Few Hours) Situations

  • No hot water (inconvenient but not dangerous in summer)
  • Single clogged drain with no other drains affected
  • Dripping faucet or small visible pipe leak (turn off shut-off valve)
  • Running toilet

What to Do While Waiting for Emergency Plumbing Service

For water emergencies: shut off the main water supply immediately. The shutoff valve is typically near the water meter at the street or where the main line enters your house. Move valuables away from flooded areas and take photos for insurance. Open windows if it’s safe to do so to prevent mold.

For gas emergencies: evacuate immediately and call 911 and SoCalGas before calling anyone else.
