Crew exposing a broken line during an emergency call
No. 01

What counts as an emergency

Burst or frozen pipes, a water heater dumping its tank, sewage backing into the house, a main shut-off that won't close, no water from a well system — if it's actively damaging your home or you're without water, call us now rather than filling out a form. Shut off the main if you can find it; if you can't, we'll walk you through it on the phone while the truck rolls.

No. 02

Freeze country is our home turf

When a hard freeze comes through, it hits the whole foothills at once — Pine Grove to Pollock Pines, everybody's pipes are at risk the same night. We've spent 25 years repairing freeze damage across Amador and El Dorado County, and we'll tell you where your plumbing is exposed so we're not meeting like this again.

No. 03

Honest triage, not panic pricing

Emergency work is priced like work, not like a hostage negotiation. We stop the damage first, then give you a clear plan — what must happen tonight, what can wait for daylight, and what it costs before we do it.

Straight answers

Is someone really available 24/7?

Yes — the phones are answered around the clock, every day of the year, by a person.

What should I do while I wait?

Shut off the water at the main or the fixture stop, kill power to an electric water heater if it's leaking, and move what's movable. We'll guide you on the phone.

Do you charge extra at night?

After-hours calls carry a fair after-hours rate — quoted up front on the phone, before we roll.
