What counts as a plumbing emergency?

A plumbing emergency is water going where it should not, and it keeps going until someone stops it. A pipe that bursts under a sink or inside a wall counts. So does water dripping through a ceiling or a water heater leaking onto the floor.

Sewage coming up a shower or floor drain is an emergency too. When several drains back up at once, the trouble is often in the main sewer line. A toilet that keeps overflowing after a flush is on the list as well.

Some plumbing problems can wait for a planned visit. A dripping faucet or a running toilet falls under plumbing repair. A slow sink or tub drain is a drain cleaning job. If you are not sure which kind you have, call or text and tell us what you see.

Where is the water shutoff on a Salinas home?

In Salinas, water company guidance says the house valve usually sits outside, near a hose faucet. Turning it off stops water to the whole house. Open a faucet afterward to check that the water has stopped. Find the valve now, before you need it.

The same guidance says only the water company may turn off the valve in the cement box by the street. Leave that one alone. If you cannot find your house valve, your water company can help.

For one toilet or one sink, look for a small valve on the pipe that feeds it. A water heater usually has its own valve on the cold water line coming in. If sewage is backing up, stop running water and flushing until the line is clear.

Emergency plumbing service at night and on weekends

Pipes burst and drains back up at night and on weekends too. Our emergency plumbing service runs 24/7, so an after-hours call is part of the job. We serve the Salinas Valley, the Monterey Peninsula, Hollister and the Santa Cruz County side of the bay.

When we arrive, we shut the water off first so the damage stops spreading. Then we find what failed and why. On a sewer backup, we clear the stoppage so the drains run again.

We repair the problem on that visit or make it safe. Making it safe can mean capping a broken pipe so the rest of the house has water again. When the permanent repair is a bigger job, we put it in a written quote.

FAQ

Emergency Plumber Questions, Answered

Common questions about emergency plumber around Salinas and the Monterey Bay Area. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (831) 262-9943

Is ASC Plumbing a 24-hour plumber?
Yes, for plumbing emergencies, seven days a week. Call or text (831) 262-9943 at night or on a weekend, the same as on a weekday. Tell us what failed and where the water is going.
How much does an emergency plumber cost?
The price depends on what failed and how much work the repair takes. A loose fitting under a sink is a smaller job than a pipe that split inside a wall. For a bigger permanent repair, we look at the job and put the quote in writing.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave light switches alone and get everyone out of the building. Once you are a safe distance away, call 911 and the gas utility's emergency line. Those calls come before any call to a plumber.
Do you handle the water damage too?
We stop the water and fix the plumbing that caused the leak. Drying and water damage restoration are a restoration company's work.
Do you take emergency calls for rentals and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, property managers and businesses. A burst pipe in a rental or a backed-up drain in a shop gets the same 24/7 service. Planned work for a business falls under commercial plumbing.
Is a leaking water heater an emergency?
Yes, when water is spreading across the floor. Close the valve on the heater's cold water line, or shut off the house valve. Then call or text us. The usual causes and fixes are on our water heater repair page.
