A burst pipe, overflowing toilet, sewer backup or leaking water heater can quickly damage your home or business. Drake Wills Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency plumbing services in San Clemente and surrounding South Orange County communities.
We handle urgent residential and commercial plumbing problems with professional diagnostics, clear communication and dependable repair options. If you are dealing with an active leak or plumbing emergency, call 949-607-8094 for assistance.
Plumbing emergencies do not always happen during regular business hours. A small leak can spread into walls, cabinets and flooring, while a clogged sewer line can cause contaminated wastewater to back up into a property.

Burst Pipe and Active Water-Leak Repair
A broken supply line or burst pipe can release a large amount of water in a short period. If it is safe to do so, shut off the property’s main water supply and move valuables away from the affected area.
We locate the source of the leak, isolate the damaged plumbing and explain the available repair options. Emergency leak service may include exposed pipe repair, shut-off valve replacement, pressure testing and leak detection for concealed or underground plumbing.
Emergency Drain Cleaning and Sewer Backups
Multiple slow drains, toilets that gurgle or wastewater coming through a shower or floor drain can indicate a main sewer-line stoppage. Avoid using additional water until the line has been inspected.
We provide emergency drain cleaning, sewer camera inspections and hydro-jetting when appropriate. A camera inspection can help identify roots, buildup, damaged piping or another obstruction causing recurring problems.
Overflowing and Clogged Toilets
An overflowing toilet can damage flooring and create an unsanitary condition. Turn off the toilet’s angle stop if possible and avoid repeatedly flushing it.
Drake Wills Plumbing repairs clogged and overflowing toilets, failed fill valves, leaking wax rings, damaged flanges and other toilet problems. If the blockage affects multiple fixtures, we can inspect the main drain or sewer line.
Emergency Water-Heater Repair
Water around the base of a tank water heater may indicate a leaking connection, failed drain valve, pressure problem or damaged tank. If water is actively escaping, shut off the water supply to the heater when it is safe to do so.
We service tank and tankless water heaters and can diagnose:
- Leaking water-heater tanks
- Failed supply connections
- No-hot-water conditions
- Temperature and pressure-relief valve problems
- Expansion tank failures
- Gas and venting concerns
- Tankless error codes and ignition problems
When replacement is the safest option, we can explain available tank or tankless systems and any required code upgrades.
What to Do During a Plumbing Emergency
Taking a few immediate precautions may help reduce damage:
- Shut off the nearest fixture valve or the main water supply.
- Stop using drains if sewage is backing up.
- Keep people and pets away from wastewater or contaminated areas.
- Turn off the water heater if its tank is leaking, provided it is safe.
- Call Drake Wills Plumbing at 949-607-8094.
If you smell gas, leave the property immediately. Do not operate electrical switches, appliances or open flames. From a safe location, contact 911 or your gas utility before calling for plumbing repairs.
