A burst supply line can release hundreds of gallons per hour. Every minute matters. If water is actively spreading, shut off your main valve first, then call us at (123) 456-7890. We come out, pinpoint the break with acoustic equipment, and mark it so the repair crew opens one spot instead of hunting while water keeps flowing.
What counts as a leak emergency
- A burst or split supply pipe with active flooding
- Water rising through flooring from a suspected slab leak
- A failed water-heater supply line
- A broken main or service line flooding the yard or street
- Any leak you cannot stop at a fixture shutoff
Do this right now. Before we arrive
- Shut off the main. It is usually near the water meter or where the line enters the house. Turn it clockwise until it stops.
- Kill power to any area where water meets outlets or appliances.
- Open a hose bib after shutoff to drain residual pressure.
- Photograph everything for insurance. Damage and the suspected source.
- Call (123) 456-7890 and tell us what you see; we will plan the fastest route to you.
How emergency detection works
Emergency calls get triaged first. We bring the same non-invasive acoustic and thermal equipment, but we work the problem backwards from the damage: isolate zones, listen for the break, and mark it. In most cases the repair crew can start cutting in the right place within the same visit window instead of spending hours, and hundreds of gallons. Searching.
What emergency service costs
After-hours emergency detection in the Citrus Heights area typically runs $350–$650 depending on time of day and access. That sounds like a lot until you compare it with what an extra hour of active flooding does to flooring, drywall, and cabinets. Finding the break fast is the cheapest part of any water emergency.

Frequently asked questions
Should I call a plumber or you first?
If you can see exactly where the pipe broke, call a plumber. If water is coming from somewhere unknown. Inside a wall, under the floor, or up from the yard. Call us first so the repair starts at the right spot.
How fast can you get here?
Call (123) 456-7890 and describe what is happening. Emergency calls are triaged first, and we will give you a realistic arrival window on the phone.
Will insurance cover leak detection?
Many homeowners policies cover sudden water damage and the work to find its source. Photograph everything and keep our detection report. It documents exactly where and why.
Can a leak wait until morning?
If you have shut off the main and the water has stopped, often yes. If water is still moving anywhere, no. Call now.
