Plumbing emergencies can strike at any time, often when you least expect them. Whether it’s a burst pipe in your Van Nuys home, a sewer backup in Hollywood, or a water heater failure in Santa Monica, having a professional emergency response team on call is crucial. Hi-Tech Plumbing Services Inc., based in Los Angeles, provides fast, reliable, and licensed emergency plumbing services across the city. From residential homes to commercial buildings, our team handles everything from leak detection to gas line repairs with clean, code-compliant work.

Residents throughout LA neighborhoods such as Winnetka (91306), Woodland Hills, Reseda, North Hollywood, Burbank, Glendale, Downtown LA, Echo Park, Silver Lake, West LA, Culver City, Pasadena, and West Hollywood trust our team for same-day or after-hours service. Using advanced tools like acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging, and tracer gas, we pinpoint problems accurately while minimizing disruption to your home or business.

What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency

Not all plumbing issues require immediate attention, but some cannot wait. Common emergencies include active water leaks or burst pipes—including slab or ceiling leaks—sewer backups or flooding, failed water heaters, gas line leaks or damaged piping, overflowing toilets, main line clogs, and sudden water pressure drops or spikes. Many emergency repairs, such as water heater replacements or gas piping work, require LADBS plumbing permits, which we handle for you to ensure your repair is fully compliant with local regulations.

What to Do Before Help Arrives

While waiting for our professional emergency response team, homeowners and business owners can take immediate action to minimize damage. Shut off water at the main or angle stop, usually located at the curb box or side yard. For leaking electric water heaters, turn off the power; set gas heaters to Pilot. Move valuables away from affected areas and place buckets or towels under active drips. In case of sewage backups, avoid using fixtures on the affected stack, and for gas leaks, evacuate immediately and contact SoCalGas or 911 without operating switches.
