Stop the damage first

Close the main water shutoff. For a leaking water heater, close the cold water valve on top and turn off the gas or the breaker. If you smell gas, leave and call San Diego Gas & Electric or 911 from outside. Our guide to emergency plumber cost explains typical after-hours surcharges.

Earthquakes are part of life here. Know where your gas shutoff is, and ask a plumber whether your home has, or would benefit from, a seismic gas shutoff valve.

Common questions

Is it cheaper to wait until morning?

Usually. If you can stop the water and nothing is unsafe, a regular-hours visit tends to cost less.
