Why Call Our Team First

When water is spreading across your floor, you do not have time to sort through a long list of contractors. You need to know who will actually show up, who will treat you fairly, and who has the skills to handle whatever they find in your walls or under your slab. That is where we focus our efforts at Sheldon's Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing.

We hold ourselves to a high internal standard, and we work to leave every system more efficient and reliable than we found it. Our plumbers arrive prepared, with vehicles stocked with the parts and equipment they typically need to handle urgent problems on the spot. Fewer trips to suppliers often mean a faster solution and less disruption for you.

Our company is proud to be recognized by Carrier Corporation as a winner of the Carrier President’s Award. We are also a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer. These credentials reflect rigorous requirements for training, workmanship, and customer care. While those recognitions come from our HVAC work, they show how seriously we take technical quality and honest service throughout our company, including our plumbing team.

We also back up those credentials with a customer-first culture. We stay transparent about what we see, what we recommend, and what it will cost before we begin work. Our goal is for you to feel confident about every decision, even in the middle of a stressful situation. When you call us as your emergency plumber, you are not just getting someone with tools, you are getting a local partner focused on doing the job the right way.

What To Do During A Plumbing Emergency

In a true plumbing emergency, every minute can make a difference, especially when water is flowing freely or sewage is backing up. While our team works to get to you quickly, there are simple steps you can often take to reduce damage and keep your household or business safer. You do not have to fix anything yourself, but a few early actions can help.

If you can safely reach it, turning off the water supply is often the best first step. Many homes have a main shutoff valve near the water meter or where the main line enters the building. Individual fixtures, such as toilets and sinks, usually have their own shutoff valves. If you are unsure, do not put yourself in danger. We can help talk you through options on the phone.

Once the water is off, move valuables, electronics, and small furniture away from the affected area if it is safe to do so. Laying down towels or placing buckets under leaks can slow damage while you wait. Try to keep children and pets away from standing water, especially if there is any chance of contact with electrical outlets or contaminated water from a sewer line.

As soon as you have taken any safe immediate steps, contact our office so we can start arranging help. Our customer service team is trained to listen carefully, ask the right questions, and get the information our plumbers need before they arrive. From there, we take on the responsibility of diagnosing the issue and guiding you through the next steps, so you are not left guessing.

How Our Riverside Emergency Service Works

When you call Sheldon's Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing for urgent plumbing help, you should not have to wonder what happens next. We keep our process simple and focused on clear communication, from the first phone call until our plumber leaves your driveway. Our goal is to reduce uncertainty so you can focus on your family, your tenants, or your customers.

When you reach our office, you connect with a local team that understands homes and businesses in Riverside and the surrounding Inland Empire. We listen to your description of the problem, ask focused questions about what you are seeing, and assess how urgent the situation is. This helps us prioritize emergencies and work toward same-day service when our schedule and staffing allow.

Once your visit is arranged, our plumber arrives in a well equipped vehicle that is stocked for emergency plumbing work. On site, we inspect the affected area, locate the likely source of the issue, and then explain what we find. Before any repair work begins, we talk through options and expected costs so you can make an informed decision without surprises.

Throughout the visit, we keep communication open. If we uncover additional issues, we explain them in plain language and discuss how they affect timing and price. We strive to provide a thorough solution, not just a quick patch, while still respecting your schedule. After the immediate problem is under control, our plumber can also discuss any recommended follow up to help reduce the risk of future emergencies.

Common Plumbing Emergencies We Handle

No two plumbing emergencies look exactly alike, but many fall into a few familiar patterns. Recognizing that your situation is something our team sees regularly can be reassuring when things feel out of control. We handle a wide range of urgent problems for both homes and small businesses in the area.

Burst or leaking pipes are among the most urgent issues we see. In older parts of Riverside, some properties still have aging supply lines that are more vulnerable to failure. A sudden drop in water pressure, visible spraying, or new ceiling stains can all point to a pipe problem that requires immediate attention to limit damage.

Sewer backups and overflowing toilets are another common reason people call for urgent plumbing help. When waste water comes back up through drains, it is more than an inconvenience, it can also be a health concern. Our team works to clear blockages, assess the cause, and help you understand what may be needed to prevent the same issue from returning.

We also respond to problems such as failed water heaters that stop producing hot water, leaks that show up as unexplained wet spots on floors, and major leaks around fixtures or appliances. If you are not sure whether your situation counts as an emergency, we encourage you to call. We can help you decide how quickly it needs to be addressed and schedule accordingly.

Can you really fix most problems in one visit?
