CA License #43536546
A plumbing emergency can escalate from inconvenience to thousands of dollars in damage within minutes. Here's exactly what to do — step by step.
Step 1: Shut Off the Water
If water is actively leaking from a burst pipe, locate your main water shutoff valve immediately and turn it off. In most California homes this is near the water meter at the street, or under a sink for localized shutoffs.Step 2: Stop Using Drains
If sewage is backing up anywhere in your home, stop using every drain, toilet, and water fixture immediately. Every flush or drain use pushes more sewage into your home.Step 3: Call a Licensed Plumber
Call Sunstate Plumbing's at (209) 821-3414. We answer 24/7 — a licensed plumber takes your call directly, not an answering service. We dispatch the nearest available technician for California emergencies.Step 4: Document for Insurance
While waiting, photograph and video all damage. Note when it started, what preceded it, and which fixtures are affected. This documentation is essential for insurance claims and helps our plumber diagnose faster.Need Licensed Plumbing Service in California?
