FAQs
What types of plumbing problems are considered emergencies?
Any issue that risks water damage, health hazards, or loss of essential service qualifies as an emergency. Common examples include burst or frozen pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, gas or water heater leaks, and total loss of water pressure. If the problem can cause structural damage or make your home unsafe, call our Oakdale emergency team right away.
Are your emergency plumbers available 24/7 in Oakdale?
Yes. We maintain a dedicated on-call crew that serves Oakdale homes and businesses 24 hours a day, 7 days a week—including nights, weekends, and holidays. When you phone our dispatch line, a licensed plumber is assigned immediately and will head to your location no matter the time.
How quickly can you get to my property in Oakdale once I call?
Response times vary with traffic and call volume, but we aim to arrive within 60 minutes for all addresses in the Oakdale area. Our technicians are strategically stationed around town, and our GPS-guided dispatch system sends the closest available truck stocked with the parts most commonly needed for emergency repairs.
What should I do before the emergency plumber arrives?
If it is safe, shut off the main water supply (usually located near the water meter or where the main line enters the house) to minimize flooding. Turn off electricity to any area impacted by water. For leaks from fixtures, isolate the supply valve under the sink or toilet. Clear access to the affected area, and have someone ready to describe what happened. Do NOT use chemical drain cleaners or attempt major repairs yourself, as this can make the situation worse.
Will you provide an upfront estimate for emergency repairs?
Absolutely. Once we diagnose the problem on-site, we explain the repair options, outline the work required, and give you a written, flat-rate estimate before any tools come out. You’ll know the cost in advance, with no hidden fees or surprise add-ons when the job is finished.
Do you charge extra for after-hours or weekend emergency calls?
Our pricing is transparent. While emergency service typically carries a dispatch fee that covers expedited response, the actual repair rates remain the same whether it’s 2 p.m. Tuesday or 2 a.m. Sunday. You’ll see every charge on the estimate, and we never add overtime multipliers or holiday surcharges without clearly discussing them first.
