We are available 24/7. Call now and a licensed A O Dowd plumber will help you get the situation under control.
Call (909) 684-1915The single most useful thing you can do before an emergency is find your main shutoff valve. In many Fontana homes it is on an exterior wall near the front of the house, in the garage near the water heater, or in a meter box near the curb.
Valves seize up when they are never turned. Close and reopen yours once a year so it works when you need it.
Tag the valve so everyone in the household can find it fast, including guests and family members who stay over.
Homes built from the 1960s through the 1990s may have aging supply lines and valves. A whole-house repiping review can prevent repeat leaks.

Shut off the main water valve right away, turn off your water heater, and open faucets to drain remaining water. Move valuables away from the water, then call a plumber. If water is near electrical outlets or panels, stay away and turn off power at the breaker only if it is safe to reach.
Leave the home immediately, and do not use light switches, phones or anything that could spark inside. From a safe distance, call 911 and your gas utility. Once the gas is shut off and the area is safe, call us to inspect and repair the gas line.
Yes, especially if several fixtures back up at once or sewage is coming up through a floor drain or tub. That points to a main sewer line blockage. Stop using water in the house and call a plumber right away.
It depends. A leaking water heater tank is an emergency because it can flood your home, so shut off the water supply and the power or gas to the unit. If the heater is intact but simply not heating, it can usually be handled same day. See our water heater repair and replacement page.

A O Dowd Plumbing Inc. did an amazing job with the water heaters I needed repaired. The team was friendly and professional all around. They communicated well from beginning to end - even followed up to make sure everything was working well
I had some issues with my boiler and their website was very clear on their expertise in that boiler so I called right away. They were were a little outside my area so Jason spent 15-20 minutes over the phone walking me though how to diagnose and fix it myself. I was able to get it up and running.
