When your pipe bursts at 2 AM or your water heater floods the garage, every minute counts. You’re not just dealing with a plumbing problem—you’re racing against water damage that can cost thousands in repairs, create dangerous mold conditions, and turn your home into a construction zone.
Our emergency plumber service in San Leandro means you get a real person answering the phone, not a voicemail. We dispatch experienced technicians who arrive with fully-stocked trucks, ready to stop the water and fix the problem permanently.
No temporary patches. No “we’ll be back tomorrow with the right part.” We diagnose the root cause, explain your options clearly, and get your plumbing system back to reliable operation so you can get back to your life.
Sugar Bear Home Services has been San Leandro’s trusted emergency plumber since 2001. We’re a third-generation, family-owned company that understands this community’s unique plumbing challenges—from older homes with aging pipes to newer developments with installation issues.
Unlike the big corporate chains buying up local companies, we’re still locally owned and operated. Our technicians wear uniforms, use shoe covers, keep clean vehicles, and clean up completely when the job’s done. We’re BBB accredited because we believe in doing business the right way.
When San Leandro residents need an emergency plumber they can trust, they call us because we’ve earned that trust through 23 years of showing up when it matters most.
First, you call our emergency line and speak with a real person who understands plumbing emergencies. We don’t use answering services or make you wait until business hours. We dispatch the nearest available technician immediately.
Our emergency plumber arrives with a fully-stocked truck containing the parts and tools needed for most common repairs. We start by stopping any active water damage, then conduct a thorough diagnosis to identify the root cause—not just the symptom you’re seeing.
We explain exactly what’s wrong, what your repair options are, and provide upfront pricing before we start any work. Once you approve the solution, we fix it right the first time using quality parts and proven methods. We clean up completely and make sure you understand how to prevent similar issues in the future.

Our emergency plumber service in San Leandro covers the full range of urgent plumbing disasters that can’t wait. Burst pipes, severe leaks, water heater failures, sewer backups, gas line issues, and major drain blockages all qualify for immediate response.
San Leandro’s mix of older homes and newer construction creates specific challenges. Older properties often have galvanized pipes prone to sudden failure, while newer homes sometimes have installation issues that don’t surface until years later. Our technicians understand both scenarios and carry the materials to handle either situation.
We also handle the secondary damage that emergency plumbing creates. If your burst pipe has affected electrical systems or created flooding, we coordinate with other trades to get your home fully restored. Our goal is solving the complete problem, not just the plumbing portion.
We typically arrive within 60-90 minutes for true plumbing emergencies in San Leandro, depending on your exact location and current call volume. Our emergency plumbers are strategically positioned throughout the Bay Area to minimize response times.
When you call, we’ll give you an accurate arrival window based on your specific situation and location. For life-threatening emergencies like gas leaks, we prioritize those calls and often arrive even faster. We understand that when you’re dealing with flooding or water damage, every minute counts toward preventing additional property damage.
A plumbing emergency is any situation that poses immediate risk to your property, health, or safety. This includes burst pipes, severe leaks causing flooding, complete loss of water service, sewer backups, gas leaks, and water heater failures creating dangerous conditions.
Issues like a dripping faucet, slow drain, or running toilet typically don’t require emergency service and can be scheduled during normal business hours. However, if that “minor” leak is causing water damage or the running toilet won’t stop and is flooding your bathroom, it becomes an emergency. When in doubt, call us—we’ll help you determine if it needs immediate attention or can wait.
Yes, emergency plumbing service does include additional charges for after-hours, weekend, and holiday calls. However, we provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what you’ll pay before we start any work. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Our emergency rates reflect the reality that we maintain 24/7 availability, keep technicians on-call, and stock our trucks with expensive inventory to handle urgent repairs immediately. Most customers find our emergency rates fair when they consider the alternative: water damage that can cost thousands in repairs, plus the stress and inconvenience of waiting until regular business hours.
We handle both water and gas plumbing emergencies in San Leandro. Gas line issues are among the most serious plumbing emergencies because they pose immediate safety risks including fire, explosion, and carbon monoxide poisoning.
If you smell gas, evacuate immediately and call us from outside your home. Don’t use electrical switches, phones, or anything that could create a spark. Our emergency plumbers are trained and equipped to safely diagnose and repair gas line problems, from minor leaks to major line breaks. We also coordinate with utility companies when necessary to ensure your safety throughout the repair process.
For water emergencies, locate and shut off your main water valve to stop additional flooding. Move valuables away from the affected area and start removing standing water if it’s safe to do so. Take photos for insurance purposes before cleaning up.
For gas emergencies, evacuate immediately and don’t return until we’ve cleared the area as safe. Don’t use electrical switches, phones, or anything that could ignite gas. For sewer backups, avoid the affected area entirely as sewage contains dangerous bacteria and requires professional cleanup. When you call us, we’ll provide specific guidance based on your particular emergency situation.
Yes, all our emergency plumbing repairs come with our standard warranty on both parts and labor. We stand behind our work whether it’s performed at 2 PM or 2 AM. If you experience any issues with our emergency repair within the warranty period, we’ll return to make it right at no additional charge.
We also offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not completely satisfied with our emergency service, we’ll refund your money. This includes our commitment that our technicians will be professional, clean, and respectful of your home during what’s already a stressful situation. Our goal is not just fixing your emergency, but making sure you’d call us again if needed.
