Emergency Drain Situations We Handle

Our emergency plumbers are equipped to handle the most urgent drain problems quickly and effectively.

Sewer Backup & Flooding

A sewer backup is one of the most serious drain emergencies. Raw sewage coming up through floor drains, toilets, or tubs poses health risks and can cause major property damage. Our emergency team responds fast with professional-grade equipment to clear the main line and stop the backup before it gets worse.

Overflowing Toilet

An overflowing toilet can quickly damage flooring, subfloor, and even the ceiling below. Whether the clog is in the toilet trap, branch line, or main sewer, our plumbers diagnose the problem fast and get it fixed right. We carry the tools to handle even the most stubborn blockages on the spot.

Completely Blocked Kitchen Drain

A kitchen drain that won't budge can shut down your household. Grease buildup, food debris, and pipe obstructions are common culprits. Our emergency service includes professional cable clearing and hydro-jetting to restore full flow and keep your kitchen running.

Multiple Drains Backed Up

When more than one drain backs up at the same time, the problem is almost certainly in your main sewer line. This is a true emergency that needs professional attention immediately. We use sewer camera inspections to locate the blockage and clear it with the right equipment.

Standing Water & Foul Odors

Standing water in sinks, tubs, or floor drains combined with foul odors often signals a serious blockage or sewer line issue. Don't wait—these situations can worsen quickly. Our emergency plumbers will identify the cause and clear the line to eliminate the problem and the smell.

I recently had my HVAC serviced by ASI and I can’t tell you how happy and relieved I am. Weeks earlier (back in March) I had my system HVAC serviced by Mauzy. After Mauzy left I found the cover not completely seated/installed back on the outdoor condenser unit and a screw laying on the concrete. Additionally, James L., provided me with a list (estimate via email) for the following: 1. Perform condenser coil wash $777.68 2. Remove and replace 40-amp contactor $686.86 3. Install a surge protector (SPD) $994.28 4. Replace HVAC ignitor $362.16 5. Replace flame sensor $362.16 6. Add (to the HVAC system) an extra UV (bulb) system $1,348.74 a. Grand Total = 4,531.88 Back in October 2021 Mauzy billed me $614.06 for 3 to 6 Lbs., of R410A. Back in November 2023 Mauzy billed me $2,345.89 for a new thermostat. Also, during our interaction, he was really pushing for the SPD and indicated the other components will soon fail. He made a statement that some of these SPD’s have an “expiration date” some only good for three years. I told him I have a Surge Protection Device at the main service PNL however he stated this was not good enough. As a certified CA., State WA., State Journeyman electrician I know this was not true and he was comparing an SPD to a carton of milk, very concerning. I then knew I was dealing with a technician with no electrical/HVAC knowledge – he only wanted to sell something. Shortly after he left, I started receiving TEXTS from Kaiya B., (from Mauzy) who was attempting to schedule the recommended service by James L. This is when I notified Kaiya B., that I found a cover loose and a screw on the ground and how disappointed I believed the service was. She got right back and stated she will forward my message to the General Manager however as of this writing I have not heard from anyone at Mauzy. I then contacted ASI and scheduled a full heating and AC service and inspection to ensure nothing else was left incomplete. That’s when the ASI technician discovered two refrigerant caps were missing. These are the caps they remove to measure the R410A refrigerant during operation (discovered by ASI) and are only accessible after removing the condenser cover. These caps were present last year during the service as I observed the service. Additionally, this is a 2025 California Plumbing Code requirement. In closing I I’m really disappointed. As an Army Veteran, 40+ years as an electrician, former building inspector and presently a plans examiner for several jurisdictions in California I feel this is a case of taking advantage of elderly people and over pricing services. The ASI technician could not believe the Mauzy price for coil wash, which was completed by ASI as part of the service call today for $87.00. The additional (other) items on the repair list from Mauzy, ASI stated were not needed looked brand new. I would like to thank the technician Jack Ryan (and ASI) for their honesty/knowledge of the system/thoroughness of the inspection/maintenance and transparency pricing. Additionally, I received a coil wash as part of the system check for a savings of $777.68 dollars. Thanks, Jack, for all your great work, honest pricing and not attempting to take advantage of an Army Veteran 😊. Scott Humphrey San Diego (Crest)

Another great inspection (free) that is included in my membership with ASI. The technician, Travis Tibiatowski was extremely efficient. He answered all my questions and explained things. He inspected every nook and cranny, where water could escape, and found a couple of areas that needed attention. Travis was an extremely nice young man. I would thoroughly recommend Travis and ASI. I wish we had had this service many years ago. Definitely worthwhile.

Never. ASI does not charge overtime—period. Whether you call at 2 AM on a Saturday or noon on a Tuesday, our price is the same. That’s been our policy since 1952.

If a toilet is overflowing, turn off the water supply valve behind the toilet. For sewer backups, stop using all water in the house—no flushing, no running faucets. Move valuables away from standing water and open windows if you notice foul odors. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners, as they can make the situation worse.

Yes. Our emergency plumbers carry professional-grade cable machines and hydro-jetting equipment capable of clearing main sewer lines. We also use sewer camera inspections to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the blockage, and to confirm the line is fully cleared before we leave.

The most common causes of drain emergencies are tree root intrusion into sewer lines, heavy grease or debris buildup that finally blocks the pipe, flushing items that don’t break down (wipes, feminine products), and deteriorating or collapsed pipes in older homes. A sewer camera inspection can reveal the underlying cause so it can be properly addressed.

Yes. All our drain clearing work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee. If the same drain clogs again within our warranty period, we’ll return and clear it at no additional charge. We also provide honest recommendations if we find a larger issue that needs long-term repair.
