One Number, and Someone Who Picks It Up
There is no form on this page and no ticket queue. Plumbing gets worse on a timer, so everything here routes to a phone that is answered at 4am as readily as at 4pm.
(562) 249-2037, 24 hours a day, every dayHow to reach us
Phone: (562) 249-2037. Answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays.
Coverage: Lakewood, California, ZIP codes 90712, 90713 and 90715, plus the surrounding cities listed at the foot of this page.
What the call does: it connects you with an independent local plumbing professional who works on the kind of problem you describe. We make the introduction; the pro you speak to handles the scope, the price and the scheduling.
There is no walk-in counter to visit. This is a call line, not a storefront, and the people doing the work are out in vans across the city rather than sitting behind a desk.
Cross-street is more useful to us than a house number.Four things worth having ready
The cross-street
Lakewood tracts change character street to street, and so does the plumbing under them. Knowing you are off Del Amo rather than off South Street changes who we send.
What you can see, hear or smell
Water on the floor, a hiss behind drywall, a sewer smell in the yard, a warm patch on the slab. Plain description beats technical guessing every time.
Whether it is still happening
A drip you mopped up an hour ago and a line still running are different calls. Say which one you have so the urgency is set correctly.
Who can let someone in
If you will not be there, we need the name and a number for whoever will be. Nothing wastes a callout slot faster than a locked front door.
Before you dial, if water is moving
Find the main shutoff and close it. In most Lakewood houses of this era it is on the street side of the property near the meter, or on the exterior wall close to a hose bib. If you can only find the water heater valves, closing those will at least stop hot water flowing.
For a smell of gas, do the opposite of investigating: leave, do not touch switches, and call the gas utility from outside first. Plumbing can wait until the gas side is safe.
Calling about a business rather than a house?
Say so in the first sentence. Restaurants, salons and retail units get routed differently because access windows, grease lines and trading hours all change what a useful visit looks like. See commercial plumbing for what that usually involves.
You will not be put through a menu
No options to press, no callback promise. Describe the problem and we will tell you what happens next.
Questions about reaching us
Yes, the number is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year, holidays included. Overnight calls are triaged the same way as daytime ones, though the pool of pros genuinely available at 3am is smaller than at 3pm.
Not at the moment, and that is deliberate. Plumbing problems get worse while an inbox sits unread. Everything on this site routes to the phone so that a person hears the problem while it is still small.
That is common with rentals and with houses being sold. Say so at the start, tell us who will be on site to let the pro in, and give us a number that will be answered while the visit is happening.
Often, yes. The core coverage is Lakewood 90712, 90713 and 90715, with regular work in Long Beach, Bellflower, Cerritos, Downey, Norwalk, Artesia, Hawaiian Gardens, Paramount, Los Alamitos, Cypress, Signal Hill and Seal Beach. Give us the cross-street and we will tell you straight away.
