Plumbing Emergencies We Handle in Riverside, CA

We respond to the full range of plumbing emergencies throughout Riverside and the surrounding Inland Empire. No job is too complicated or too urgent:

• Burst or ruptured pipes — immediate shut-off, repair, and water damage mitigation
• Sewer line backups — drain snaking, hydro jetting, and camera inspection to find the blockage
• Water heater failures — emergency repair or replacement for gas, electric, and tankless units
• Slab leaks — leak detection under your foundation and repair before structural damage sets in
• Major drain clogs — toilets, kitchen drains, or main line blockages that won't clear
• Flooding from appliance failures — dishwashers, washing machines, or supply line breaks
• Gas line concerns — immediate assessment for any gas smell or suspected gas leak
• Pipe leaks behind walls or ceilings — before water spreads and causes mold or structural damage

What to Do While You Wait for the Plumber

When a plumbing emergency hits, the right actions in the first few minutes can significantly limit the damage. While we're en route to your Riverside home or business, here's what to do:

1. 1.Shut off the water — locate your main shutoff valve (typically near the water meter or where the main line enters the home) and turn it off immediately if there's active flooding or a burst pipe.
2. 2.Turn off the water heater — if your water supply is off, turn off the water heater too (gas units to pilot, electric units at the breaker) to prevent the tank from heating without water.
3. 3.Don't use drains — if you have a sewer backup, stop running water or flushing toilets until the blockage is cleared.
4. 4.Move valuables — if water is spreading, relocate electronics, rugs, and important documents to higher ground.
5. 5.Document the damage — take a few quick photos or video before cleanup begins, which can be useful for insurance purposes.
6. 6.Call us — the sooner you call, the sooner we can get there and stop the damage from getting worse.

Why Riverside Residents Trust Simple Plumbing Inc

Riverside is one of the largest cities in the Inland Empire, and there's no shortage of plumbers competing for your business. Here's what makes Simple Plumbing Inc different — especially in an emergency:

We actually answer the phone. When you're dealing with flooding at midnight, you don't want to leave a voicemail. We're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including weekends and holidays — and someone will always pick up.

We show up prepared. Our trucks are stocked for the most common emergency scenarios. That means less time waiting for parts and more time solving your problem. Our Marine Corps background means we value readiness — we don't show up to assess and then leave to grab supplies.

We're transparent about pricing. Emergencies are stressful enough without surprise invoices. We'll tell you what's happening, what it costs, and get your approval before the work starts. No hidden fees, no inflated emergency surcharges that double the bill.

You pay only when you're satisfied. Our unique satisfaction guarantee means you don't owe us the final payment until the job is done right. That's not typical in emergency plumbing — and it shows how much we stand behind our work.

We're licensed, insured, and bonded in California. In an emergency, the last thing you want is an unlicensed crew causing more damage. Every job we do meets California licensing standards and is backed by our full insurance coverage.

1-Year Labor Guarantee — Even on Emergency Repairs

Some plumbers rush emergency repairs and move on. We don't. Every repair we make in Riverside — whether it's an emergency call or a scheduled job — is backed by our 1-year labor guarantee. If something we fixed doesn't hold up within a year, we come back and make it right at no additional charge. That's our commitment to you.
