Rancho Cucamonga Emergency Plumbing
Avail 24/7 For Urgent Plumbing Help
Plumbing emergencies rarely check your calendar before they strike. A pipe might burst at midnight; a sewer could back up during a holiday dinner, or a water heater might fail right before a busy work week. These situations go beyond inconvenience, often creating immediate risks to both the home and daily routines.
As a family-owned and operated business since 1980, Scott McLeod Plumbing has been a steady resource for homeowners across Rancho Cucamonga and the Inland Empire. Our A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau reflects decades of experience and a commitment to handling every call with integrity. We understand how quickly plumbing issues can escalate when water is involved; even a short delay can allow moisture to spread into drywall and cabinetry, turning a manageable repair into a larger concern. When you call, the focus is on regaining control of your plumbing system and providing the straightforward explanations you need to make informed decisions.
An emergency is stressful enough without the added weight of financial uncertainty. We provide free estimates even during urgent calls, providing a clear understanding of the work required before we begin. To help manage unexpected costs, we offer financing options and payment plans, making it easier to address essential repairs without delay.

What Qualifies as a Plumbing Emergency?
While a slow-dripping faucet can usually wait until Monday morning, other issues demand an immediate response to prevent property damage or health risks. Generally, we consider a situation an emergency if it involves a total loss of water, active flooding, or a risk to your home's foundation.
If you notice water pooling on floors or ceilings, sewage backing up into your fixtures, or a sudden, drastic drop in water pressure, those are clear signals that the system has failed. Similarly, the smell of "rotten eggs" near your gas lines or water heater is a safety crisis, in that case, you should exit the home immediately and call for professional help. If you aren't sure if your situation is an "emergency," give us a call anyway; we can often help you determine the severity over the phone.
Common issues we handle 24/7 include:
- Burst or cracked pipes and active water leaks
- Sewer line backups and overflowing drains
- Water heater breakdowns or major leaks
- Main water line failures and slab leak detection
- Non-functioning toilets and gas line concerns

“We had an issue with the plumbing in our master bathroom develop over the weekend. This had a sudden onset and very odd pattern. On Monday AM we called Scott McLeod Plumbing and to my surprise, they were able to send out a team a few hours later. Based on our description of what was happening, and his inspection of a few things, Teddy deduced immediately what the most likely problem was and explained to us the sequence of events that caused our problem. It was so logical and was communicated to us so clearly that we immediately felt complete trust in the solution he proposed. He was very obviously a complete expert. The cost proposal for all the work was very reasonable. He and his assistant spent the rest of the day solving our problems. It was such a pleasure having two such lovely people take care of our issues. I have used another top-rated local plumbing company in the past and although they did good work, I felt like their pricing was very high.”Happy Customer

“What an amazing day, who can say that after a water heater breakdown? We called, and you guys didn't let us down. 20 minutes after our call, the service repair men were joyfully, professionally ready at my door. They examined, explored, determined what happened to our 3 year old Water heater, found our house regulator valve shot, corrosion was filling the diaphragm of it, preventing it from regulating our water pressure. Because our water pressure was over 100 psi, our 3-year-old water heater inner liner was torn through, and the entire tank was emptying around the lower seam. Everything was shown, explained, and once they learned that my husband is 100%disabled vet, and currently recovering from shoulder surgery. The discounted price met our ability, and 2 hours later, we have a new water heater and water regulator, and are happy that this company met our needs.”Pamela T.

3 Things to Do While You Wait for the Plumber
To help minimize damage before we arrive, follow these steps:
- Shut off the main valve. Most homes have a main shut-off valve near the front hose bib or in the garage. Turning this clockwise stops all water flow to the house.
- Open lowest faucets. After the main is off, open the lowest sink or garden hose tap to drain the remaining water out of the pipes and away from the leak.
- Document everything. Take quick photos or videos of the leak and any damage. This is incredibly helpful for future insurance claims.
