Emergency Plumbing Services
Emergency plumbing covers problems that can cause water damage, sanitation concerns, or loss of essential plumbing service. These issues should be handled quickly, especially when water is actively leaking or when wastewater is backing up into the home.
Reed’s responds to urgent plumbing problems such as broken pipes, major leaks, clogged drains, backed-up sewer lines, overflowing fixtures, and water heater failures. Our goal is to stop the immediate problem, protect your home, and help prevent it from recurring.
When to Call an Emergency Plumber
Some plumbing problems can wait for a standard appointment. Others need service right away. If you are dealing with active water, sewage, or a plumbing failure that prevents you from using the home safely, it is time to call an emergency plumber.
Call for emergency plumbing if you notice:
-
Water spraying or leaking from a pipe
-
A toilet, tub, or drain backing up
-
Sewage odors or wastewater in the home
-
No working water
-
A water heater leak
-
A sump pump failure during wet weather
-
A clogged drain that affects multiple fixtures
-
Water stains spreading across walls, ceilings, or floors
-
A shutoff valve that will not stop the leak
The sooner the issue is addressed, the easier it is to limit damage and restore normal use.
Common Emergency Plumbing Problems
Plumbing emergencies can start from old pipes, frozen lines, clogs, damaged fixtures, ground movement, or failed equipment. Reed’s has experience with the plumbing, drain, sewer, and excavation side of these problems, which helps when the issue is more than a simple fixture repair.
A leaking pipe may only require a repair at the damaged section. A sewer backup may indicate a blockage, a damaged line, or an outside drainage issue. A failed sump pump may need repair, replacement, or a closer look at how water is entering the pit. Our team looks for the cause, not just the symptom.

A few quick steps can help reduce damage while you wait for service.
-
Shut off the water if there is an active leak
-
Avoid using fixtures if drains are backing up
-
Keep people and pets away from standing wastewater
-
Move belongings away from the affected area
-
Do not use chemical drain cleaners during a backup
-
Take note of when the problem started and which fixtures are affected
These steps do not replace professional repair, but they can help limit the damage until the plumbing issue is fixed.

Just had my septic pumped by Reed’s Plumbing - day before Fourth of July holiday. The lady who answered my call initially explained they were booked until the week after but she took the extra time to find me a slot. I was especially relieved, as we are hosting 12 people for a Fourth of July celebration. Robbie and Wayne came as promised and called to let me know they would be here in approximately 20 minutes. Robbie and Wayne were very professional and knowledgeable. They didn’t waste any time and began working immediately. I was also given a brief tutorial of how the septic system works and was shown that it was now empty. (Yucky-🤢) I definitely would recommend Reed’s for your septic issues. Oh, Reed’s is a lot more than just septic. Be sure to check them out!!

Excellent company! We called them for a hot water heater issue, they came right out and fixed the issue. Called them back for a sewer line issue, came out same day and fixed it right up. They also assisted with plumbing for a bathroom remodel as well. Always superior service and quick turn around time.

I usually don’t write reviews but today I will. My wife and me have a cabin in Stockton. From day one getting things done right from contractors has been a complete nightmare to say the least. Got taken for over $10,000. Then our mini splits were put in wrong with leaks. Contacted 2 hvac ppl to come out but they never showed. I finally got a hold of a guy who knew what he was doing to come and get us air. We have 5 rescue dogs with heat index in low 100’s. While we were waiting, my wife called Reeds. They ended up coming out within hours and even brought us a brand new 10,000 btu portable air unit. When Reeds got there to our cabin the other guy was already working on getting one of the 3 mini splits working. Dan, hvac manager from Reeds, said it looks like your guy has this under control. He, Dan, let us keep the air unit to get our cabin cool for us and the dogs. Just told us to bring it back and drop it off once we were all set. I can’t thank Reeds enough. Didn’t think companies were around anymore like that. Future issues, I will use Reeds 100%. They actually care about there customers and not always about money. We can’t thank you all enough. From my wife and fur babies, THANK YOU AGAIN!

I had an excellent experience with the HVAC installation team of Alfonzo and Jose with Reed’s Plumbing and Air. They were reliable, professional, and respectful throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain everything clearly, were honest about the work being done, and completed the installation thoroughly and efficiently. What stood out most was their kindness and willingness to answer all of my questions. It's refreshing to work with a team that genuinely cares about providing quality service and treating customers with respect. I highly recommend them to anyone needing HVAC services.

Reed's Plumbing arrived within two hours of our leak starting, even though it was after hours. He quickly found that the problem wasn't plumbing but hvac, and he called the hvac team out. They arrived precisely at the time they said they would and fixed the problem very quickly. Their rates are reasonable, and Jose and Alfonso did an excellent job with the repair. I would highly recommend Reed's for hvac and plumbing!

Robbie and Glenn came out to take care of our SepticTank clean out. From the first phone call announcing their arrival asking about the parking preference on our property until they finished these two were perfect and considerate gentlemen. The little bit of digging for exposure to the cap left no mess to be cleaned up afterwords (and we're pretty good comedy relief as well) We have used Reed's for this service since 2009. Always service with a smile and usually next day availability!!! A lot of yes votes for this service.

Robby and Wayne came out after we noticed our septic tank was leaking. They were pleasant from the first phone call, incredibly helpful in explaining what they were going to do. They got it done quickly and made me feel not as stressed with the thought of another human having to see that. I would recommend them to anyone! Super happy with the experience with them and the company as a whole.

Reeds plumbing replaced my water softener for me. I purchased at a big box store and then scheduled installation with Reeds. The guys called before the scheduled time and arrived on time. Did a great job and it didn't take long at all. I would recommend Reeds and I will call them again for future needs.

I cannot recommend Reed's Plumbing highly enough!
After struggling with a bathroom sink issue and paying two different plumbers who charged me without actually fixing the problem, I was understandably frustrated. Then I called Reed's Plumbing, and Sam came out and quickly diagnosed and repaired the issue that no one else seemed able to solve.
A few months later, I made the mistake of calling a handyman for a problem with my kitchen sink because I thought it would save me some money. Unfortunately, the handyman not only failed to fix the original problem, but actually caused additional damage and charged me several hundred dollars in the process.
Once again, I called Reed's Plumbing. Sam and another technician came out, fixed both the original issue and the damage caused by the handyman, and charged me less than what the handyman had charged. The difference in professionalism, knowledge, and honesty was night and day.
I learned an expensive lesson: when it comes to plumbing, call the professionals first. What seems like a cheaper option can end up costing far more in the long run. Reed's Plumbing has earned my trust, and they will be my first call for any plumbing needs in the future. Thank you, Sam and the Reed's Plumbing team, for your outstanding work!

Had John and another plumber out to the house on 6/19/26 to assess a plumbing issue and install a cleanout port. They did a great job, worked fast, and explained the issues and what they did to fix them. Highly recommend!

I had the unusual situation of needing Peat Moss replaced in a septic filter system (not common in the area). It was very manually intensive work, and the core team of Drew, Dalton and Robbie did a fantastic job! I say "core team" as these 3 were here all day - a couple other people came for specific parts and helped as well. They kept me informed, made sure everything was in good working order, cleaned things up well and had a great attitude throughout. Appreciate them deploying the resources needed to get this done in 1 day. Many thanks!!
