Emergency Plumbing Services in Upland, CA

Sewer Backup and Drain Emergencies

A sewer backup can bring wastewater into sinks, showers, bathtubs, or floor drains. You may also notice multiple slow drains or sewage odors around your home.

If wastewater is backing up, avoid using the affected fixtures and call AYS Plumbing & Rooter to discuss the problem. Our team can assess the symptoms and recommend the appropriate next step.

For recurring backups or a suspected blockage deeper in the line, a sewer and drain camera inspection may help locate the issue. If the line is damaged, we also provide sewer repair services.

What to Do During a Plumbing Emergency

The right first step depends on the problem. If it’s safe to do so, these actions can help you limit damage while you arrange service:

1. Turn off the water to the affected fixture or use your home’s main water shutoff valve if water is actively leaking.
2. Avoid using affected fixtures if a drain or sewer line is backing up.
3. Move belongings away from the water when you can do so safely.
4. Call AYS Plumbing & Rooter and explain what happened, where the problem is, and whether you’ve shut off the water.

If you suspect a gas leak, leave the area and contact your gas utility or emergency services from a safe location.

Other Urgent Plumbing Problems

Not every plumbing emergency involves a burst pipe or sewer backup. Other problems can also make it difficult to use your plumbing or put your home at risk of water damage, including:

• An overflowing toilet that won’t stop.
• A leaking or damaged water heater.
• A shutoff valve that isn’t working.
• Multiple clogged or backed-up drains.
• A significant leak under a sink or around a fixture.

If you’re unsure whether the problem needs immediate attention, call AYS Plumbing & Rooter. We can discuss what you’re seeing and help you determine the next step.
