Emergency Services We Handle in San Jose
Our expert plumbing emergency response team is more than equipped to handle the issues that occur the most for San Jose homeowners
Burst Pipe Repair
Corroded pipes, water hammer, and even minor ground shifts can cause pipes to fail suddenly and unexpectantly. When you're dealing with a plumbing emergency like a burst pipe, every minute matters. Our experienced technicians locate the break, stop the water, and complete repairs, often in a single visit. For homes with galvanized or aging copper pipes (common in Eichlers and homes built before the 1970s ), we'll also assess whether a full repipe might prevent future emergencies.
Sewer Line Backups
When sewage backs up into your home, every second matters. We use camera inspection technology to pinpoint the blockage, whether it's tree roots, a collapsed section, or accumulated debris, and clear it using professional-grade equipment. If the line needs repair, we offer trenchless solutions that will get the job done right without destroying your landscaping.
Gas Leak Detection & Repair
If you smell gas in your home, it is vital that you and your family get out of the house and call us immediately. Our licensed plumbers are trained to locate gas leaks and perform safe and efficient repairs. We work with PG&E protocols to ensure your home is secure before we leave.
Water Heater Failures
A leaking water heater can dump 40-80 gallons of water into your home within minutes. We provide emergency water heater repair and same-day replacement when repair isn't possible. San Jose's hard water means water heaters often fail earlier than expected. We'll help you clearly understand your options if replacement makes more sense than repair.
Overflowing Toilets & Fixture Failures
A toilet that won't stop running or a faucet that's spraying water everywhere can get very bad, very quickly. We handle fixture emergencies quickly and can recommend upgrades that prevent future problems to give you peace of mind.
Our Emergency Process
- Immediate phone assessment. When you call, our customer service representative will ask specific questions to understand the severity of your situation and give you guidance on exactly what to do while we're en route (such as shutting off your main water valve).
- Fast dispatch. Our San Jose-based team often means shorter response times than national franchises dispatching from across the Bay Area.
- Diagnosis before work begins. We explain what's wrong and what it will cost to fix before we start any repair. No surprises.
- Complete repair. We carry common parts and equipment on our trucks, so most emergencies can be resolved in one visit.
- Future prevention guidance.
Before we leave, we'll point out any other issues we noticed that could become emergencies, so you can address them on your schedule, not ours.
Every Minute Matters
Plumbing emergencies are unexpected and often escalate fast. What starts as a small leak can become thousands of dollars in water damage within hours. Here's what San Jose homeowners frequently deal with when a plumbing disaster strikes:
Water damage that spreads quickly.
A burst pipe soaks into drywall, warps, hardwood floors, and seeps into places you can't see. The longer you wait, the more expensive the repairs become. Many homeowners in older Willow Glen and Rose Garden properties have learned this the hard way with aging galvanized pipes that fail without warning.
Health hazards from sewer backups.
Raw sewage in your home isn't just disgusting, it's even more dangerous. Bacteria, viruses, and parasites can contaminate your living space within minutes. Older clay sewer lines common in San Jose's established neighborhoods are particularly prone to sudden backups from root intrusion or pipe collapse.
The frustration of unreliable service.
You call the big franchise, wait on hold, and finally get someone out, only to hear they need to "order a part" or "come back tomorrow." Meanwhile, water is still pooling in your kitchen. When you're dealing with an emergency, you need a plumber who shows up ready to solve the problem, not one who treats your crisis like a scheduling inconvenience.

FAQ
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Ask yourself this question:
If left unaddressed, will it cause significant damage to your home or pose a health/safety risk? If yes, then it's an emergency.
Burst pipes, sewer backups, gas leaks, major water heater failures, and any situation where you can't stop water flow all qualify as plumbing emergencies requiring immediate attention.
How quickly can you get to my home?
We prioritize rapid response for emergencies and typically arrive within 1-2 hours, depending on current call volume and your location.
Do you charge extra for emergency calls or weekend service?
For emergencies during our regular business hours, we prioritize your call and dispatch same-day at our standard $399 evaluation fee, no extra charge for the urgency. After typical operating hours and weekend emergencies are $499. Either way, you'll know the cost upfront before we begin. In addition, there is a $99 service start-up rate that gets credited toward your repair if you move forward with the work.
What should I do while waiting for the plumber?
If it's a water emergency, locate your main water shut-off valve and turn it off to stop further flooding. For gas leaks, leave the house immediately and call us from outside. Don't flip electrical switches or create any sparks. We can clearly walk you through these steps when you call.
Will you be able to fix the problem in one visit?
In most cases, yes. Our trucks are stocked with common parts and repair materials for typical emergencies. If your situation requires specialized equipment or parts we don't have on hand, we'll complete temporary repairs to protect your home and schedule a follow-up at your convenience.
Are you a local emergency plumber in San Jose?
Yes. Unlike national franchises that dispatch from across the Bay Area, Venture Plumbing is family-owned and based right here in San Jose at 228 San Jose Ave. When you call for emergency plumbing services, you're getting a local plumber who can reach you fast, often same-day, depending on your location in San Jose or the South Bay.
