Counsil Plumbing | Water Line Services | Emergency Plumbing in the South Bay Area
Water line problems can strike without warning and when they do, fast action is essential. Whether it’s a burst pipe, underground leak, or sudden drop in water pressure, these emergencies can lead to property damage, contamination, and skyrocketing water bills if left unaddressed. At Counsil Plumbing, we provide reliable emergency water line services across the South Bay Area, including Saratoga, Los Gatos, Sunnyvale, Willow Glen, and surrounding communities.
If you suspect a serious water line leak, here’s what you need to know and how our team can help protect your home.
How to Recognize a Major Water Line Leak
Water line issues aren’t always obvious at first, but certain warning signs can signal trouble underground. These include:
- A sudden and unexplained drop in water pressure throughout your home
- Water pooling in your yard or along your foundation
- Discolored or rusty water coming from your faucets
- Cracked pavement, soggy landscaping, or unusually green patches of grass
- Sounds of running water or hissing when no fixtures are in use
- An unexpected spike in your water bill
These symptoms could point to a damaged or broken main water line and should never be ignored. Delays can result in extensive property damage, erosion, and even hazardous water quality issues.
What to Do Right Away
If you notice any of the signs listed above, it’s important to act quickly:
1. Shut Off Your Main Water Valve
Locate your home’s main water shut-off valve, typically found near the water meter or where the line enters your home. Turning it off will prevent further water damage until professional help arrives.
2. Don’t Attempt to Dig or Repair the Line Yourself
Water lines are buried deep and often run near utility lines. DIY digging can be dangerous and may also violate local regulations. Always leave this work to licensed professionals.
3. Call Counsil Plumbing for Emergency Service
We offer 24/7 emergency water line services with a 90-minute response time. Our technicians arrive in fully equipped service vehicles, ready to diagnose and resolve your issue the same day.
What You Can Expect from Our Emergency Response
At Counsil Plumbing, we use advanced leak detection tools to pinpoint problems quickly and with minimal disruption. Our team may perform:
- Moisture and acoustic leak detection
- Video camera inspection of the water line
- Pressure testing to identify cracks or breaks
Once we identify the issue, we’ll explain your options clearly, whether that’s a localized repair or full water line replacement. We work with all types of materials, including PVC, PEX, and copper, and every repair is performed to code and tested before we leave.
You’ll receive transparent pricing up front, and we back all work with our 100% satisfaction and money-back guarantee.
Prevent Future Emergencies
After emergency service, we often recommend a full system inspection to catch small issues before they escalate. If your home is more than 25 years old or has experienced multiple leaks, we may suggest long-term solutions like partial or full repiping to avoid repeat emergencies.
