When a plumbing emergency strikes, fast action is critical. AquaTek Plumbing is ready to respond 24 hours a day throughout San Jose, CA, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Whether you are dealing with a burst pipe, an overflowing toilet, or a backed-up sewer line, our experienced plumbers work quickly to restore function and prevent further damage.
Don’t Wait, Plumbing Emergencies Only Get Worse With Time
Even a small hidden leak left unchecked can lead to structural damage, structural damage, mold growth, and costly repairs. A sewer backup spreads contamination the longer it sits, while a failed water heater can soak flooring, cabinets, and drywall in a matter of hours.
AquaTek dispatches a technician fast to stop the damage before it spreads. Whether you have a leaking pipe or a major plumbing failure, our focus is on restoring your plumbing and keeping your home or business safe and functional.

What To Do Before Your Plumber Arrives
While our emergency plumbing team is on the way to your San Jose home or business, a few quick actions can significantly reduce water damage to your property:
- Shut off the main water supply. Your main shutoff is typically near the water meter, under the kitchen sink, or in a utility closet. Turning it off immediately stops water flow and limits damage.
- Turn off the water heater. If your water supply is shut off, turn off your water heater to prevent overheating or pressure buildup.
- Don’t flush or use drains if you suspect a sewer backup as this can cause sewage to back up further into the home.
- Move valuables and electronics away from any standing water or active leaks if it is safe to do so.
- Document any damage with photos or video for your insurance claim before cleanup begins.
