How fast can a plumber get to my emergency?

Our emergency plumbers typically arrive within 1–2 hours in the Merced metro area. We're available 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Call immediately if you have active flooding or a gas leak.

What should I do while waiting for the plumber?

Turn off the water main valve (usually near your water meter or where the main line enters your home). If there's a gas leak, leave the house and call 911. Place towels or buckets to catch water and move valuables away from affected areas.

How much does drain cleaning cost?

Drain cleaning in Merced typically costs $125–$500. A single clogged drain costs $125–$250 to clear. Main sewer line cleaning with hydro-jetting runs $250–$500. We provide upfront pricing before starting.

What causes drains to clog in Merced homes?

The most common causes are grease and food buildup in kitchen drains, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, and tree root intrusion in main sewer lines. Merced's mature tree canopy — especially older neighborhoods like Land Park, East Merced, and Curtis Park — makes root intrusion particularly prevalent.

How much does water heater replacement cost?

Water heater replacement in Merced costs $1,200–$4,500 depending on the type. Standard tank water heaters run $1,200–$2,500, tankless models $2,500–$4,500. Heat pump water heaters qualify for SMUD rebates up to $4,000.

What SMUD rebates are available for water heaters?

SMUD offers up to $4,000 in rebates for heat pump water heater installation. Combined with federal tax credits, you could save $4,000–$6,000 on an energy-efficient upgrade. We handle all rebate paperwork.

Marco was the first and only drywall specialist I would recommend. He was able to repair two holes in my ceiling and texturize and paint and he matched everything 100% percent. Very impressed! Quality work, punctual, good price and a very nice guy. Highly recommend!

★★★★★Liliana Kovács5 months agovia Google

Marco did an exceptional job. He taped everything up beautifully, stayed and made sure everything was good, matched all the previous issues other vendors left unfinished, and had even notified us about a leak and double checked previous plumbing issues were done right before patching up the holes.
