Day or night
24 hour emergency plumber in Eureka and Humboldt County
A burst pipe does not wait for business hours. Neither does Maples.
Water is coming through the ceiling, or the only toilet in the house is backing up, or the heater died on the coldest night of the year. You do not need a contact form. You need a plumber to pick up the phone.
Maples runs 24 hour emergency service. The vans are fully stocked, so the fix usually happens on the first trip instead of after a parts run.
What counts as an emergency
- Burst and leaking pipes
- Sewer and drain backups
- Water heater failures and leaks
- No heat: boilers, wall heaters, floor heaters
- Gas line concerns after the utility has made it safe
- Commercial and facility emergencies
Before the plumber gets there
- 01Find your main water shutoff now, before you need it. It is usually where the water line enters the house or at the meter box by the street.
- 02For a leak, shut the main off first, then call.
- 03For a sewer backup, stop running water anywhere in the building.
- 04For a gas smell, get everyone outside and call your gas utility or 911 before anyone else.
Questions
24 Hour Emergency questions
Is it really 24 hours?
Yes. 24 hour emergency service is printed on the vans and at the top of the Maples website, and the business lists its hours as open around the clock.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
Shut off the water at the main or at the fixture, move what you can away from the water, and take a few photos for your insurance company. If water is near outlets or the electrical panel, stay clear of it.
Do you handle commercial emergencies?
Yes. The service department works on commercial and residential systems, and the contracting division has built and maintained plumbing in hospitals, schools, hotels, and public facilities across the region.
