Emergency Plumber
24/7 Emergency Plumber in Long Beach, Los Alamitos and Seal Beach
Plumbing problems don’t wait for business hours. A pipe bursts under the kitchen sink on a Sunday night. The main line backs up the morning you’re hosting family. The water heater gives out at 10 p.m. When that happens, you need a licensed plumber who picks up the phone and shows up ready to fix it.
Worthey Plumbing is based in Rossmoor and answers emergency calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We serve homeowners and businesses in Rossmoor, Los Alamitos, Seal Beach, Long Beach, Huntington Beach and the surrounding cities. Call (562) 614-4227 and a real person will talk you through the next steps.
Plumbing Emergencies We Handle
There are several indicators that your water heater may be nearing the end of its lifespan. Rust-colored water, reduced hot water supply, and rising energy bills are common warning signs. You may also hear rumbling or popping sounds caused by sediment buildup inside the tank. Addressing these issues early with Worthey Plumbing can help you avoid sudden breakdowns and water damage.
Benefits of Installing a New System
Most emergency calls fall into a handful of categories. Burst and leaking pipes are the most common, and they can put hundreds of gallons of water into a home in a short time. Sewer backups are next, usually from a main line clog, roots or a collapsed section of pipe. We also respond to water heater failures, overflowing toilets that won’t stop running, slab leaks that show up as warm spots or water on the floor, and broken water lines in the yard.
Gas leaks are a different kind of emergency. If you smell gas, leave the house first, then call SoCalGas or 911 from outside. Once the utility has made the area safe, we can locate the leak and repair or replace the gas line.
What to Do Before We Arrive
For any active water leak, shut off the water at the main valve. In most Long Beach and Los Alamitos homes it’s near the front of the house, close to where the line comes in from the street. If the leak is coming from a single fixture, the small valve under the sink or behind the toilet will often do the job. If water is near outlets or appliances, turn off power to that area at the breaker panel.
For a sewer backup, stop running water anywhere in the house. Every flush and every load of laundry adds to what’s coming up through the lowest drain. Keep kids and pets away from any sewage, and don’t use chemical drain cleaners. They rarely clear a main line and they make the work more dangerous for the technician.
How Our Emergency Service Works
When you call, we’ll ask a few questions about what you’re seeing so we arrive with the right equipment. Our trucks carry drain cleaning machines, sewer cameras, leak detection gear and common repair parts, so most emergencies can be stopped on the first visit. We explain what we found and what it will cost before we start the repair. If a permanent fix needs a second visit, such as a full sewer line replacement or a repipe, we make the situation safe first and schedule the larger job at a time that works for you.
Worthey Plumbing is licensed with the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB License #1027856). We take care to protect your floors and clean up after the work is done, even at 2 a.m.

Emergency Plumbing FAQs
After-hours calls can carry a different rate than scheduled daytime work. We'll tell you the cost on the phone before we dispatch, so there are no surprises.
Arrival time depends on where you are and how many calls are open, but our service area is compact. We'll give you a realistic window when you call.
Usually not. If it isn't flooding or backing up, it can wait for a regular appointment, which saves you money. If you're unsure, call and we'll help you decide.
Most emergencies are stopped on the first visit. Larger repairs like sewer line replacement may need permits or a second visit, but we'll make sure the home is safe and usable in the meantime.
