Emergency Plumbing in San Diego

Plumbing problems can be a major inconvenience, but not all of them require an emergency call. Knowing when to call for immediate assistance can save time, money, and potential damage to a home.

Situations where calling an emergency plumber is crucial include:

• Burst pipes: A burst pipe can cause significant water damage in a very short time. If water is spraying or gushing, it is vital to shut off the main water supply immediately and call an experienced plumber.
• Major leaks: While a dripping faucet might be annoying, a major leak under a sink or in a wall requires urgent attention. These leaks can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and other serious problems.
• Sewer line backups: If drains are backing up, or there are sewage odors in the home, there is likely a sewer line blockage. This is a serious health hazard and needs to be addressed by a professional plumber immediately.
• Gas leaks: If a homeowner smells gas, hears a hissing sound near gas lines, or sees dying vegetation in the yard, it is important to evacuate the home immediately and call the gas company and Lefty's Plumbing. Gas leaks are extremely dangerous and require immediate professional attention.
• No hot water: While not always a true emergency, a sudden lack of hot water can disrupt daily routines, especially in the colder months. If a water heater isn't working, call our plumbing experts to diagnose the problem and get the hot water running again.
