EMERGENCY PLUMBING EXPERTS
Why We’re Tucson’s Trusted Emergency Plumber
As Tucson’s trusted emergency plumber, we understand that common emergency plumbing repairs require immediate attention. From broken pipe repairs to sewer backups and flooded basements, our emergency plumbers in Tucson have seen every emergency plumbing issue. Our experienced plumbers arrive with fully stocked emergency vehicles so we can begin repairs immediately. Our focus is fixing the emergency plumbing situation efficiently to get your building back in working order.
Common Emergency Plumbing Situations We Handle
Not sure if your situation qualifies as a plumbing emergency? Here’s what we see most often — and all of them warrant an immediate call:
Burst and Broken Pipes
A burst pipe can dump hundreds of gallons of water into your home in minutes. Shut off your main water valve immediately and call us. We’ll stop the damage and make the repair — whether it’s a cracked copper line, a corroded galvanized pipe, or a failed joint behind a wall.
Sewer Line Backups
When multiple drains in your house slow down at once — or worse, sewage starts coming up through floor drains or bathtubs — that’s a main sewer line problem. Our team arrives with sewer cameras and commercial-grade equipment to diagnose and clear the blockage fast.
Water Heater Failures
No hot water is more than an inconvenience — a leaking water heater can flood your garage or utility closet and cause serious water damage. We service and replace all brands, including gas, electric, and tankless units.
Major Leaks and Flooding
A pinhole leak behind a wall can cause mold and structural damage before you even notice it. Slab leaks are especially common in Tucson’s older homes, where shifting desert soil puts stress on underground pipes. We use specialized leak detection equipment to pinpoint the source without tearing up your property.
Overflowing Toilets and Clogged Drains
A single clogged toilet or drain might not feel like an emergency — until it overflows and starts soaking through the floor. If a plunger isn’t cutting it, call us before the problem becomes water damage.
Gas Line Leaks
If you smell rotten eggs or hear hissing near a gas appliance, leave your home immediately, call your gas utility from outside, and then call us. Our licensed plumbers are trained and certified for gas line repair and can safely locate and fix the leak.
RELIABLE SERVICE WHENEVER YOU NEED IT
24-Hour Plumber Available Day and Night — Including Weekends
Most plumbing companies tack on overtime charges or “after-hours fees” the moment the clock hits 5 PM. We don’t. Our pricing stays the same whether your emergency happens on a Monday morning or Saturday night. That’s been our policy since 1981, and it’s one of the reasons Tucson homeowners have trusted us with over 2,000 five-star reviews on Google.
One customer put it well: after calling on a Sunday with less than 24 hours’ notice, our team showed up, fixed the problem, and the technician — Xavier — was professional, kind, and walked them through every step. Another customer mentioned that our 24-hour service with no extra charge is the biggest reason they keep calling us back.
That’s the experience we deliver every time, regardless of when the phone rings.

How Much Does an Emergency Plumber Cost in Tucson?
It’s a fair question — and one most plumbing companies dodge. Emergency plumbing costs in Tucson vary based on the type of repair, but here’s what you should know about how we handle pricing:
We charge by the job, not by the hour
Before any work starts, your technician will diagnose the problem, explain exactly what needs to happen, and give you a firm, written price. You approve it or you don’t — there’s no pressure, and the diagnostic visit is free.
Typical emergency repairs — like fixing a burst pipe section, clearing a sewer line blockage, or replacing a failed water heater element — generally fall within a predictable range that your technician will walk you through on site.
What you won’t see from us
- No overtime surcharges
- No “emergency dispatch” fees
- No hidden line items that inflate the final bill
We know that an emergency is stressful enough without worrying about being overcharged. Our flat-rate, per-job pricing model exists specifically to take that worry off the table.

READY WHEN YOU NEED US MOST
After-Hours and Weekend Emergency Plumbing
Plumbing emergencies have terrible timing. They happen during dinner, in the middle of the night, and on holiday weekends when most businesses are closed. Here’s what you can count on when you call Al Coronado Plumbing after hours:
- A real person answers the phone. No automated phone trees. No waiting until Monday for a callback.
- Fast dispatch. We aim to get a technician to your door as quickly as possible, typically within a couple of hours depending on your location and current call volume.
- Same pricing. Evening, weekend, or holiday — your rate doesn’t change.
- Fully equipped trucks. Our after-hours technicians carry the same parts and tools as our daytime crews. No “temporary patches” that require a follow-up visit.
We serve homeowners across the entire Tucson metro, including Marana, Oro Valley, Sahuarita, Green Valley, Vail, Saddlebrooke, Catalina, and Picture Rocks.
What to Do During a Plumbing Emergency
If you smell gas, skip all of the above — leave the house immediately without flipping any switches, and call your gas utility and 911 from outside.
Before our team arrives, taking a few quick steps can limit the damage:
Step 1: Shut off the water
Find your main water shut-off valve (usually near the front of your home or by the water meter) and turn it off. This stops the flow immediately.
Step 2: Turn off the water heater
If you’ve shut off the main water, turn off your water heater to prevent damage to the unit. For gas heaters, turn the thermostat to “pilot.” For electric, flip the breaker.
Step 3: Open faucets to drain residual water
After shutting off the main, open a couple of faucets at the lowest point in your home to relieve pressure and drain remaining water from the lines.
Step 4: Move belongings away from standing water
Get furniture, electronics, and valuables out of any flooded areas.
Step 5: Call Al Coronado Plumbing at (520) 834-8400
We’ll dispatch a licensed plumber to your home right away.
