An emergency plumber for Laguna Hills, open 24/7
An emergency plumber is a licensed plumbing business that takes urgent calls at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays. Laguna Hills Express Plumbing works from Moulton Parkway in Laguna Hills, CA.
When a pipe bursts, a drain backs up or a water heater fails, the first call matters. Our 24/7 line is answered around the clock, and we book a visit as soon as a crew is free. Same-day appointments are offered when available, and we never promise an arrival time we cannot keep.
Before any work begins, you hear what is wrong, what we recommend and what it costs. That clear price comes first, so there are no surprises when the job ends.
What to do while you wait
Close the main water valve if water is flowing. Stop using drains if a line is backing up. Turn off the gas or power to a leaking water heater. If you smell gas, leave the home and call SoCalGas at 1-800-427-2200 from a safe place.

Where we work in and around Laguna Hills
Our base is on Moulton Parkway, and the crews cover the city and the neighbors that border it.
Laguna Hills sits along the Interstate 5 corridor in southern Orange County. Moulton Parkway, El Toro Road, Alicia Parkway and Oso Parkway are the main routes, and the Civic Center on El Toro Road anchors the middle of the city. Fossil Reef Park and Sheep Hills Park are the parks residents mention most when they give directions.
The city incorporated on December 20, 1991, on land that came from the Moulton Ranch, which was subdivided in the early 1960s. Homes in the older tracts often have original drain lines and supply pipe, while newer homes have more fixtures and heaters to service. We serve ZIP code 92653 for emergency drain cleaning and leak detection, and ZIP code 92654 for water heater repair and replacement, along with the Nellie Gail Ranch area and other neighborhoods around the city.
