How emergency plumbing works in Irvine
When something bursts, backs up, or leaks in Irvine, call us at any hour. We help you stop the damage on the phone, then send a plumber in a truck stocked for burst pipes, sewage backups, gas line problems, and failed water heaters.
Irvine's 1960s to 1980s villages are aging, and original water heaters and supply lines there tend to fail without much warning.
When to call for emergency plumbing
Call for emergency service when water is flooding the house, sewage is coming up in tubs, toilets, or floor drains, you smell gas and cannot find or shut off the source, a burst pipe keeps flowing after the main is closed, a water heater is leaking heavily, or the house has no water.

Water hardness
Irvine Ranch Water District supplies the city. Hardness runs from moderately hard to hard, depending on the season and where you live; the district publishes current figures in its annual water quality report. Regular water heater flushing helps, and a softener is worth considering on older copper or galvanized lines.

What customers say
★★★★★
I had an excellent experience with SoCal 1 Plumbing! Eliass came out to clear a blockage in my kitchen line by snaking it through the outside wall clean-out, and everything was done efficiently and with great care. He also installed new tubular drains under my kitchen sink to stop the leaks I’d been dealing with. The work was high-quality, and they even provided a 1-year warranty on parts and labor, which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend their professional and reliable service!
