1. Top 7 Plumbing Emergencies Sacramento Homeowners Face (and How to Prevent Them)

When plumbing problems strike, they rarely happen at a convenient time. At Mr. Pipes Plumbing Services, we've seen every kind of plumbing emergency in Sacramento and Elk Grove — and we know the signs to watch for.

1. Burst Pipes – Often caused by pressure buildup or freezing weather. Regular inspections prevent costly flooding.
2. Clogged Drains – Kitchen grease, hair, or debris cause backups. Professional drain cleaning keeps pipes clear.
3. Leaky Faucets – That drip adds up, wasting gallons of water.
4. Running Toilets – Wastes water and increases bills.
5. Broken Water Heaters – No hot water? Time to call a Sacramento plumber.
6. Sewer Backups – Bad smells or gurgling drains are red flags.
7. Gas Line Issues – Serious and dangerous — only a licensed plumber should handle.
