Emergency Plumbing FAQs

What qualifies as a plumbing emergency?

A plumbing emergency is any situation involving an active, uncontrollable water leak, a raw sewage backup into the home, a complete loss of hot water or water pressure, or the smell of natural gas. If water is actively damaging your property and you cannot isolate it, call an emergency plumber immediately.

Do you provide true 24/7 emergency plumbing service?

Yes, Heise's Plumbing maintains a 24-hour dispatch. We handle severe overnight emergencies such as burst pipes and main line backups that threaten property safety.

What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber?

Your first step should be to locate and shut off the main water valve to your home or the isolation valve behind the specific fixture to stop the flow of water. Then, clear the area of valuable items and keep children and pets away from standing water or sewage.

My pipe just burst. Can you fix it?

Yes. Our technicians can perform emergency pipe repairs on copper, PEX, and galvanized lines. We will quickly isolate the burst section, repair the leak, and restore the integrity of your water supply system.

Can you help with a sewer backing up into my bathtub?

Yes, a main line sewer backup requires immediate attention to prevent hazardous conditions. We use specialized snaking and hydro jetting equipment to clear the blockage and safely restore proper drainage.

What areas do you serve for emergency plumbing?

We dispatch emergency plumbers throughout San Francisco and the Peninsula, including Daly City, South San Francisco, San Mateo, Palo Alto, and surrounding communities.
