24/7 Emergency Plumber in San Francisco
When a pipe bursts or a drain backs up at 2 AM, you don't have time to wait for a callback. Bay Area Plumbing has been answering emergency calls in San Francisco for over two decades, and our licensed plumbers are on call around the clock — including weekends and holidays.
Call us right away if you're dealing with:
-
A burst or actively leaking pipe
-
No hot water from your water heater
-
A toilet, sink, or sewer line that's completely backed up
-
Signs of a gas leak (smell of rotten eggs, hissing near a gas line — leave the property and call us immediately)
-
Flooding from any source
A slow drain or a dripping faucet is still worth fixing fast, but it can usually wait for a same-day scheduled visit rather than an after-hours emergency dispatch — which can save you money on emergency rates. Not sure which one you're dealing with? Call us and we'll help you figure it out.

Why San Francisco homeowners call us first
We've been fixing plumbing emergencies in this city's older housing stock — from Richmond District Victorians to Sunset District apartments — since 1995, so we know the quirks of local pipes and code requirements. Every plumber we send is licensed, insured, and equipped to handle the job on the first visit.
