Expert Emergency Plumbing Service in San Jose And Surrounding Areas, CA

When a pipe bursts, a sewer backs up, or a drain overflows, you need a plumber who knows your area and can act fast. Gomez Sewer and Drain handles emergency plumbing service for homeowners across San Jose, Campbell, Los Gatos, Palo Alto, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale. Our team responds to burst pipes, sewer backups, major leaks, overflowing toilets, and complete loss of water service. We assess the problem on arrival, stop active damage first, then repair the source. Many homes across Santa Clara County were built before the 1980s. Older clay, cast iron, and galvanized pipes are common in these neighborhoods. Those materials crack, corrode, and attract tree root intrusion over time. San Jose's wet season from November through March also puts added pressure on aging sewer lines, increasing the risk of backups. When you call Gomez Sewer and Drain with an emergency, we walk you through shutting off your main water valve before we arrive. That one step limits water damage while we're on the way. Call us now to speak with a plumber directly.

Emergency Plumbing Service FAQ

Common questions about emergency plumbing service in San Jose and Surrounding Areas, CA.

A plumbing emergency in San Jose is any issue that risks property damage, health hazards, or leaves your home without water or working drains. Burst pipes, sewer backups, major leaks, and sewage overflow all qualify.

Yes, we serve Campbell, Los Gatos, Palo Alto, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale in addition to San Jose. Call us directly and tell us your address so we can dispatch the right crew.

Locate your main water shutoff valve and turn it off to stop water flow to the affected area. In most Santa Clara homes, the shutoff is near the street or where the main line enters the house.

Many homes in Campbell and Sunnyvale were built before the 1980s and still have original clay, cast iron, or galvanized pipes. These materials corrode, crack, and allow tree root intrusion, which leads to sudden backups and leaks.

Yes, sewer backups are one of the most common emergency calls we handle in Palo Alto. We clear the blockage, inspect the line, and identify whether the issue is a clog, root intrusion, or a damaged pipe.

A single slow drain is usually not an emergency, but multiple slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odors, or water backing up into fixtures in your Los Gatos home signal a sewer line problem that needs immediate attention.

Our experience was terrific. We had a medium sized job: replace the 90 year old iron sewer connection out rom back of home, down the driveway and out to the property line, and add a BBQ island (sink, garbage disposal, gas appliances) in the back yard. All together about 150' of sewer plus venting for the BBQ island, and water, gas to the BBQ. All work was done with permits. The quote included connection to the sewer under the home (not just at the exterior foundation where other quotes specified). Communication was excellent. They arrived when they said they would. Both the principals and the workers are very good people. Work went quickly when not waiting on inspections (schedule inspections early!). I judge a firm by how they handle problems. In this case, the rough plumbing inspector gave the OK for a certain island venting technique. The different final inspector said it must be changed, and Gomez plumbing just fixed it promptly, all within the original quote. Of course we waited for a second final inspection before getting the project closed (schedule early!) Gomez is now our go-to plumber.

5/5 stars – I was very impressed with Gomez Sewer and Drain. Ivan & his entire crew are wonderful! They showed up on time as promised, squeezed me in next day on the schedule, handled the problem quickly & efficiently, cleaned up beautifully, and sent me the emailed invoice, all within 24 hours! I'm a realtor of 23 years and had a back up in a condo I'm selling. I had no time to waste and they came to my rescue quickly! They made me look good to my clients. I have them on speed dial and part of my trusted team. I highly recommend you put them on yours.

I was nervous about a clogged drain, but the team from Gomez Sewer and Drain showed up on time and were incredibly friendly and professional. They explained the problem, worked efficiently, and had my kitchen drain clean and flowing again in less than an hour. The plumber was courteous and answered all my questions about the repair, making me feel confident that the job was done right. I appreciate the timely service and will definitely call them again for any plumbing repair needs.

FideI has solved numerous plumbing problems at my home over the past 5 years. He is responsive (really answers his phone!), prompt, kind, courteous and knowledgeable. He patiently answers all my questions and clearly explains the work needed. Fidel’s pricing is fair and honest. I highly recommend Fidel!

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to Fidel Gomez for his quick response and help! My daughter had a bit of a mishap by putting a toy down the toilet, and we were without a working toilet for nearly three months. A plumber came to fix it, but they initially suggested replacing the entire toilet. However, something just didn’t feel right, and I suspected the toy was still inside. To my surprise, when I called Fidel, there was a bubble bee inside! So, we owe him a huge thank you for his prompt assistance and for saving the day. He’s definitely my go-to plumber from now on.
