What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Smell gas? That's different. Don't call a plumber first. Leave the building immediately, and from a safe distance call 911 and SDG&E at 1-800-411-7343. Once the gas company has made the area safe, we can repair the line.
Emergency plumbing you can count on
When water is pouring where it shouldn't be, every minute counts — and the last thing you need is an answering machine or a quote that doubles after dark. Call Coastal Rooter and a real, licensed plumber picks up, helps you stop the immediate damage over the phone, and gets a truck headed your way fast.
We've handled San Diego County emergencies for 25 years, and our pricing doesn't change because it's 2am. You get the same flat, upfront price before we start — no inflated after-hours surcharges, no pressure, just the fastest path back to a dry, working home.
Plumbing emergencies we handle
While you wait: What to do right now
Shut off the water.
For a single fixture, turn the valve behind or beneath it. For a major leak, shut off your home's main water valve (usually where the line enters the house or at the street meter).
Kill the water heater if it's the source.
Turn off the unit's gas valve or breaker, then its cold-water supply.
Contain and protect.
Move valuables out of the water's path and put down towels or a bucket.
Don't use chemical drain cleaners
on a backup - they can make the problem and the cleanup worse.
Call us.
We'll talk you through anything else while the plumber is en route: (760) 893-9152.
