Call, any hour
The phone is the fastest and most reliable way to reach us, and on a plumbing problem it is usually the only one worth using. Describe what you can see and you will get a straight answer about what it probably is before you spend anything.
Calls are answered 24 hours a day, every day, including weekends and holidays. Several plumbing companies serving this city close at 5 or 7, and some are shut entirely at weekends, which is when most emergencies actually happen.
We do not run an email inbox. Plumbing problems move faster than email does, and a leak answered six hours later is a different and more expensive leak. Everything goes through the phone, including quotes and questions that are not urgent. You can also text a photo to the same number.
What to have ready when you call
Two minutes of preparation shortens the diagnosis and usually the bill with it.
- Your address and ZIP. 92780, 92782 and 92705 sit under different permit authorities and sometimes different water providers, and that changes the answer.
- Roughly when the house was built, or the neighbourhood name. Build era predicts failure mode more reliably than anything else you can tell us.
- What you have already shut off, and whether the main valve turned freely.
- Whether water is still moving, and where it is showing up.
- A photo if you can take one safely. You can text it to the same number.
Before you call, if water is coming in
In this order. The order matters.
- Shut the main water valveIn most Tustin homes it sits at the front of the property near the street in a meter box, or on an exterior wall on the street side. In the post war tracts it is often beside the front hose bib. In Tustin Ranch and Tustin Legacy homes it is frequently inside a garage wall or an exterior utility panel.
- Cut power to any circuit near standing waterAt the panel. Not by wading in and unplugging things.
- If it is the water heater, isolate itClose the cold supply valve on top of the tank, then shut the gas at the tank, or the breaker for an electric unit.
- Photograph everything before you clean upInsurance generally covers sudden and accidental water damage and generally excludes gradual leaks. The photographs are what settle that argument later.
Where we cover
92780 and 92782
Old Town Tustin, the Red Hill corridor, Broadmoor, central Tustin, Tustin Ranch and Tustin Legacy. Permits file with the City of Tustin Building Division.

Numbers that are not ours
Sometimes we are not who you need. These are the offices people ask us for most often, and calling them directly will be faster than going through us.
- Gas leak or the smell of gas. Leave the building first, then call your gas utility from outside. Do not call us first.
- City of Tustin Building Division, permits and inspections. 714-573-3130, Monday to Thursday 7:30am to 5:30pm and Friday from 8am. Submittals and inspection scheduling run through the City’s Citizen Self Service portal.
- Suspected permit fee fraud. The City collects fees only through its Citizen Self Service portal or in person at the City Hall finance counter, and will never ask for a bank routing number or a wire number. Report suspicious invoices to planpermitsubmittals@tustinca.org.
- Checking a contractor’s licence. cslb.ca.gov. Free, takes about two minutes, and worth doing on anyone you consider, including the contractor we refer you to.
What happens after you call
- We take the details and put you with an independent C-36 licensed contractor who covers your ZIP.
- Their CSLB licence number reaches you on the written estimate, so you can verify it before agreeing to anything.
- You get an itemised written estimate before work starts, split into labour, parts, permit and disposal.
- If something unforeseen turns up, the job stops and you approve a change order before any extra work happens.
- Where the work needs a permit, the contractor files it with whichever authority your address falls under.
Water where it should not be?
Shut the main off, then call. A person picks up, day or night.
