This page covers what counts as an emergency, what to do while you wait, which ZIP codes the line serves, and how Yorba Linda's housing and water supply shape the problems we are called about most. If water is moving right now, read the Before We Arrive section and then call.
What counts as a plumbing emergency in Yorba Linda
Some problems can wait for a morning appointment and some cannot. The ones below are treated as emergencies on the 24/7 line because water, waste or gas is already doing damage.
Call right away if you see any of these:
- A burst or split pipe. Water spraying from a wall, a ceiling or a crawl space needs the main valve closed and a plumber on the way.
- A sewer backup. Water rising in a tub or floor drain when you flush or run the washer means the main line is blocked.
- A failed water heater. A tank that is leaking onto the floor, or a unit that is hot to the touch and making noise, should be shut off.
- A gas smell. Leave the house first. Then call SoCalGas at 1-800-427-2200 from a safe place, and 911 if there is danger.
For a gas smell the call goes to the gas company, not a plumber. After the utility has made the house safe, a licensed plumber can look at the gas piping and appliances.
Before we arrive: if you have a burst pipe or active leak
The next ten minutes decide how much damage the water does. These steps are safe for most homeowners and make the plumber's work faster once we arrive.
Shut off the main water valve
Find the main shutoff where the water line enters the house and turn it fully closed. If you cannot find it, close the valve nearest to the leak.
Kill power to wet areas
If water is near outlets, appliances or the panel, turn off power to that room, but only if the breaker panel is dry and you can reach it safely.
Clear the area
Move rugs, boxes and electronics away from the water. Keep children and pets out of the wet room.
Turn off the water heater
If the leak is at the heater, switch the gas control to off or the breaker to off, and close the cold water valve on top.
Photograph the damage
A few phone photos help with any insurance claim later. Take them before you start mopping.
Call the 24/7 line
Call (714) 750-8637 and tell the dispatcher where the water is coming from and whether it has been shut off.
Do not run the dishwasher or flush toilets while a drain is backing up. Every use adds water to a line that is already full.
Emergency plumbing for Yorba Linda homes built in the 1970s and 1980s
Yorba Linda was incorporated on November 2, 1967. Its population was near 30,000 at the 1980 census and passed 50,000 in the years after, so most of the housing is tract construction from the 1970s and 1980s. By 2016 the city had more than 20,000 housing units.
Homes of that age are now at the point where the original water heater has long since been replaced at least once, and supply lines, shutoff valves and drain connections are showing their years. A fixture that was fine for decades can fail without warning. That is when a plumber is needed at 2 a.m., not on Monday.
The most common calls from this part of Orange County involve a water heater leaking or failing, a clogged main behind a drain cleaning job, or a pipe that has split inside a wall. We also respond to burst pipe repair calls when a joint or a fitting gives way.
What the 24/7 line covers in Yorba Linda
The same dispatcher takes every call, whether it is a minor leak or an overflowing sewer. These are the service areas Yorba Linda homeowners ask about most.
- Drain and sewer backups. Sinks, tubs, floor drains and main lines, with cable machines or jetting. See sewer line repair when the pipe itself is damaged.
- Water heater failures. A leaking tank, no hot water, or a heater that needs replacing the same day when the schedule allows.
- Hidden water leaks. A wet spot on a wall, a high water bill or the sound of running water when nothing is on. Leak detection finds the pipe without tearing out the wall first.
- Burst pipes and supply failures. A split line, a failed shutoff valve or a joint that has let go.
- Toilet, faucet and disposal emergencies. An overflowing toilet or a supply line that has burst under a sink.

Water, roads and city facts that matter for a Yorba Linda emergency
Yorba Linda covers about 20 square miles and borders Anaheim to the south, Placentia to the west and southwest, Brea to the northwest, Chino Hills State Park to the north and Corona to the east. SR-90, SR-91 and SR-241 are the main routes, and they are what a dispatched plumber uses to reach most addresses.
Two water suppliers serve the city. Yorba Linda Water District covers part of it and Golden State Water covers other parts, so check your bill to see which one is yours. Golden State Water reports average hardness of about 188 mg/L, or 11.0 grains per gallon, for its Placentia and Yorba Linda system.
Hardness at that level leaves scale in water heaters, which is a common reason they fail. Plumbing repairs there are made to the California Plumbing Code, Title 24, Part 5, which is based on the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC).
Savi Ranch is the city's main commercial district, and businesses there can call the same line for commercial plumbing emergencies such as a restroom overflow after hours.
