Your 2 AM pipe burst doesn’t have to become a $10,000 water damage claim. When you call Sugar Bear Home Services, you get a licensed emergency plumber in Newark, CA who actually shows up—usually within the hour.
No more frantic searches for “emergency plumber near me” while water spreads across your floors. No more voicemails from companies that don’t really offer 24 hour plumbing service. You get immediate response from professionals who arrive with the right tools and parts to fix it on the first visit.
Your Newark home is protected, dry, and functioning normally again. And you never pay inflated emergency rates—our same day plumbing services cost the same whether it’s Tuesday afternoon or Saturday midnight.
Sugar Bear Home Services has been Newark’s go-to emergency plumbing company since 2001. We’re a third-generation, family-owned business that built our reputation on showing up when other plumbers won’t.
We know Newark’s plumbing challenges inside and out. From the aging cast iron pipes in older neighborhoods near Central Avenue to the newer developments with different system configurations, we’ve fixed every type of emergency this area can produce. Tree root invasions, earthquake-shifted lines, old galvanized pipe failures—we’ve seen it all and know exactly how to fix it right.
Our approach sets us apart from the corporate chains moving into the Bay Area. We wear shoe covers, explain problems in plain English, and give you real repair options instead of high-pressure sales tactics. When we’re done, your home is cleaner than when we arrived.
Call our 24/7 emergency line and talk to a real person immediately—no phone trees or voicemail systems. We dispatch a licensed plumber to your Newark location right away, typically arriving within an hour even during peak traffic.
Our technician diagnoses your emergency using professional-grade equipment and explains exactly what’s wrong in terms that make sense. You get transparent, upfront pricing before we touch anything—no surprise charges for after-hours service or “emergency fees.”
We fix the problem using quality parts and proven techniques that last. Every repair gets tested to ensure it’s working properly, and we clean up completely before leaving. You receive documentation of all work performed plus a comprehensive warranty covering both parts and labor.

Our emergency plumbing services in Newark, CA handle the full range of crises that can’t wait for business hours. Burst pipes flooding your basement, sewer backups creating health hazards, water heaters failing and flooding your utility room, or gas leaks requiring immediate evacuation—we respond to all of it with the same professional standards.
Newark’s housing presents unique challenges that require local expertise. Many homes built in the 1960s and 70s have original galvanized pipes that fail without warning. Newer developments near Ardenwood have different plumbing configurations that inexperienced plumbers struggle with. We understand these systems completely and carry the specific parts needed for quick repairs.
We also tackle the complex emergencies that send other companies running—main sewer line collapses, multiple-system failures, and coordinated repairs involving both plumbing and water damage restoration. Our trucks carry advanced diagnostic cameras, hydro-jetting equipment, and a complete parts inventory to resolve most emergencies on the first visit without return trips.
Call immediately for burst pipes flooding your home, sewer backups creating unsanitary conditions, or gas leaks that pose safety risks. Other true emergencies include complete water loss affecting your entire home, water heaters failing and flooding basements, or overflowing toilets that won’t stop despite shutting off the supply valve.
You should also call for main sewer line blockages affecting multiple fixtures, any leak causing active water damage to your Newark property, or strange sewage odors that could indicate dangerous gas buildup. When in doubt, call our 24/7 line—we’ll help you determine if your situation requires immediate response or can wait for regular business hours. Quick action prevents minor issues from becoming major disasters.
We typically arrive within one hour for genuine emergencies in Newark, CA, even during nights and weekends. Our response time depends on your exact location, current weather conditions, and our technician availability, but we prioritize true emergencies that threaten property or safety above all other calls.
When you call our emergency line, you’ll speak with a dispatcher who can provide a specific arrival time estimate based on your address and current conditions. We never leave you wondering when help will arrive—you’ll know exactly when to expect our technician and can take appropriate steps to minimize damage while waiting. For life-threatening emergencies like gas leaks, we coordinate with local emergency services to ensure your immediate safety.
No—Sugar Bear Home Services provides the same transparent pricing 24/7 with no emergency surcharges, weekend fees, or holiday premiums. You get a clear cost estimate before any work begins, whether you call at 2 PM on Tuesday or 2 AM on Sunday.
This straightforward approach means you won’t face financial surprises when you’re already dealing with a stressful emergency. Many companies charge double or triple rates for after-hours service, but we believe fair pricing shouldn’t depend on when your pipes decide to burst. Our emergency rates reflect the quality workmanship and professional service needed to resolve your crisis properly, regardless of timing.
For flooding situations, locate and shut off your main water supply immediately—we can guide you to your shutoff valve over the phone if you can’t find it. This single step can save thousands in water damage while you wait for our technician to arrive.
For toilet overflows, turn off the supply valve behind the toilet (usually on the wall) and avoid flushing again. If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate your home immediately and call us from outside—don’t use light switches, phones, or anything that could create a spark. For other emergencies, move valuable items away from affected areas, take photos for insurance documentation, and try to contain water with towels or buckets. Your safety comes first—never put yourself at risk trying to stop the problem.
Yes—all our emergency plumbers hold current California state licenses, carry comprehensive liability insurance, and maintain workers’ compensation coverage. We’re also Better Business Bureau accredited, which requires meeting strict standards for customer service and business practices.
Our licensing ensures we can handle complex emergency repairs safely and in compliance with Newark’s building codes. We carry permits for any work requiring them and coordinate mandatory inspections as part of our service. You can verify our credentials before we begin work, and our insurance coverage protects both your property and our technicians during emergency repairs. This professional approach means you get quality results without the risks that come with unlicensed contractors.

Our strategic location allows us to reach most Bay Area locations quickly, even during peak traffic hours or adverse weather conditions. When you call, we’ll confirm your location is within our emergency service zone and provide an accurate arrival time based on your specific address, current traffic, and technician availability.
