A burst main, sewage backing up through the floor drain, a water heater flooding your utility room at 2 AM — these don't wait for business hours. Masters Plumbing Service keeps a fully-staffed, truck-loaded emergency crew in Chico 24 hours a day, every single day.

Emergency plumbing calls are the worst time to gamble on an unknown contractor. Here's what you get every time you dial Masters Plumbing Service in Chico, WA.
Every tech dispatched in WA holds an active state plumbing license and is covered under Masters Plumbing Service's liability insurance. License numbers available on request — and we encourage you to verify them.
Our dispatch model prioritizes proximity. Real-time GPS routing means the closest available licensed tech gets assigned to your address, not whoever happens to be free.
After-hours, weekend, and holiday rates are disclosed before work begins. Time-and-material billing that expands as we go is not how Masters Plumbing Service operates in Chico, WA.
Each emergency vehicle carries shutoff valves, pipe couplings, expansion tanks, water heater elements, drain cables, and diagnostic tools. Most Chico emergency calls close on the first visit because the part we need is already on board.
From burst mains to gas-assisted water heater failures, here's what our emergency crew handles around the clock in Chico, WA.
We don't guess at burst pipe locations. Acoustic listening devices and thermal cameras let us pinpoint the failure before opening unnecessary drywall — protecting your home and limiting the repair footprint.

We contain the affected area, clear the restriction, and provide a written scope report with camera findings. If structural repair is needed, we tell you exactly what and why before quoting it.
A tank that cracks overnight can dump 40–80 gallons onto a utility room floor. We shut the supply, drain the tank, assess whether the failure was a T&P valve event, a corroded anode, or a cracked tank shell, and either repair or replace on the spot. Our trucks carry 40- and 50-gallon gas and electric units for same-night replacement.
A failed main shutoff or a street-to-meter line leak leaves your property without water or flooding a yard. We coordinate with the local utility for safe shutoff, then excavate minimally, repair the breach, and restore flow — with the permit pulled where required by WA code.
Smell gas? That's an evacuation-first situation — leave the building, don't operate switches, call your utility from outside. Once the utility confirms the street supply is off, our certified gas plumbers in WA use combustible gas detectors to locate the failure in service lines, appliance connectors, or meter risers, then repair and manometer-test before gas is restored.
Hard freezes trap water in exterior walls and uninsulated crawl spaces. We locate frozen segments with infrared cameras, thaw lines safely using electric heat tape — never open flame — and inspect for splits that formed under ice pressure. If a freeze has already caused a crack, we repair the section and wrap exposed pipe with foam insulation against recurrence.
We've stripped out every delay between your call and a working plumbing system. Here's the exact sequence.
Your call triggers a GPS-assisted routing lookup for the nearest available emergency technician in Chico. Dispatch confirmation and tech ETA go to you by text.
The assigned tech confirms ETA and arrives in a fully-stocked emergency vehicle. Target arrival in Chico: 30–60 minutes from dispatch. No side trips to a supply house.
Emergency calls get the same quote-before-work policy as any scheduled service. The flat rate is the same at 2 AM as it is at 2 PM.
We photograph the completed repair, provide a written service summary, and walk you through any precautions before packing up.

A pipe behind my laundry room wall burst at 11 PM. I expected voicemail. Masters Plumbing Service answered immediately, had a tech at my door in 38 minutes, located the break with a thermal camera, and repaired a failed copper coupling through a 12-inch drywall cut by 1 AM. The invoice matched the quote exactly. This is how emergency service should work.
Sewer backed up on a Friday night before a family event. Masters Plumbing Service dispatched in under an hour, jetted a 30-foot grease-and-root blockage, and scoped the line. Showed me the camera footage, explained the joint offset at 58 feet we need to watch, and left without any pressure to schedule more work. Exactly the transparency I needed.
Gas water heater stopped lighting on a Sunday. Tech arrived same day, tested the thermocouple — reading 9mV, well under the 25mV minimum — swapped the thermocouple and pilot assembly in 45 minutes. Exact quoted price. Runs perfectly.

Whether you're in the center of Chico or at the edge of our coverage zone, you get the same licensed technicians, the same flat-rate pricing, and the same written warranty.
