What Your Neighbors Are Saying About Us

We just had the pleasure of having a new HVAC system installed by Arturo and Mark with Thompson’s. I could not be happier with the entire process from quote to finish. The results looked better than I expected which is always great! The team was very considerate, respectful and made sure to keep it a very clean job. I can’t wait to finally be comfortable this summer. Our home never had an A/C unit. I got multiple quotes and Thompson’s design made the most sense and the pricing was fair. I highly recommend this company and crew.

Ignacio is super friendly and knowledgeable. He troubleshooted and fixed my kitchen faucet and whole house water filter issues pretty quickly. Thank you! Second review, we went back with Thompson Plumbing again because the first time was great. Ignacio came back out and quickly detected a plumbing leak which was actually creating a lot of water damage in our garage ceiling. He fixed it quickly so we could get the restoration guys in the next day. Quick, efficient and professional work with a friendly face. I definitely recommend.

Ignacio and his team were friendly and took care of the problem with expediency. I had minimal time to have an auxiliary water heater removed to facilitate a roof replacement. The removal and rerouting of pipes was performed quickly and set us up to upgrade the main water heater when there is time to do so Thank you. i will definitely use him and the Thompson team again to address future plumbing needs.

Ty did a great job on the repair of my furnace. He explained what caused the issue and what was required to fix it. I signed up for the annual maintenance program because I had such a great experience with Ty and Thompson Plumbing & Heating. Ty came back again and was extremely patient with me in his explanation of why the thermostats were operating as they were. I would definitely recommend Ty and Thompson Plumbing and Heating to anyone needing repairs on their furnace.

We had our A/C installed, our vents/ducting updated and our furnace replaced by this company, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. They were punctual, professional, and very easy to work with. One thing we really appreciated was receiving a text beforehand with the technician’s photo and profile—it made us feel comfortable and prepared. The entire team was friendly and knowledgeable. We also purchased their maintenance plan, which helped us identify other areas that needed attention. Thank you, Thompson Team!

What Qualifies as a Plumbing Emergency

Not every plumbing issue needs immediate attention, but some situations simply cannot wait. A plumbing emergency is any problem that poses a risk to your home, your health, or your ability to use essential fixtures safely. In Oceanside, the coastal climate adds another layer of concern. High humidity levels can accelerate corrosion in older pipes, and the salt air common to our area can wear down plumbing components faster than in inland regions. That means a minor leak can quickly turn into a significant problem.

If you’re dealing with any of the following, it’s time to call for emergency service right away:

Burst or broken pipes that are actively releasing water into your home.
A complete loss of water to the entire house.
Sewage backups or raw sewage are visible in drains or toilets.
Gas line issues are connected to your plumbing system.
Overflowing toilets that cannot be stopped with basic troubleshooting.
Flooding caused by a failed water heater or appliance connection.

When in doubt, call us. We’d rather help you determine that it’s not an emergency than have you wait for a problem that could cause severe damage.

Common Plumbing Emergencies We Handle

Our technicians arrive fully equipped to diagnose and resolve the most common plumbing emergencies Oceanside homeowners face, including:

Burst or frozen pipes, which can be especially problematic during the occasional cold snaps that hit coastal Southern California.
Severe drain clogs have caused water to back up into sinks, showers, or tubs.
Water heater failures that leave your household without hot water.
Toilet overflows and sewage line backups that require immediate attention.
Leaking or broken fixtures that are causing water damage to walls, floors, or ceilings.
Sump pump failures during heavy rain events can leave lower-level spaces vulnerable to flooding.

What to Do While Waiting for an Emergency Plumber

Taking a few quick steps before we arrive can help limit damage to your home. Here’s what we recommend:

Shut off the water supply as soon as possible. For isolated issues, such as a toilet or sink, use the local shut-off valve near the fixture. For larger problems, locate your main water shut-off and turn off water to the whole house.
Turn off your water heater if you’ve shut off the main water supply, as running it without water flow can damage the unit.
Avoid using any drains or plumbing fixtures until the issue is resolved, especially if you’re dealing with a backup or clog.
Move valuables, furniture, and electronics away from areas where water is present to prevent further damage.
Take photos of the damage if it’s safe to do so, which can be helpful for insurance purposes.
Call us right away so we can walk you through any additional steps and get a technician on the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you respond to a plumbing emergency in Oceanside?

We prioritise emergency calls and work to get a technician to your home as quickly as possible. Our team is based in Oceanside, which means shorter travel times and faster responses than companies located farther away.

What should I do if a pipe bursts in my home?

Shut off the main water supply immediately to stop the flow. Then call us right away. While you wait, move belongings away from the affected area and take photos if you can do so safely.

Do you charge extra for after-hours emergency plumbing calls?

Emergency and after-hours calls may involve different rates than standard service appointments. We’re upfront about pricing before any work begins, so there are no surprises.

Can the coastal climate in Oceanside affect my plumbing?

Yes. The salt air and humidity along the Oceanside coast can accelerate corrosion in older pipes and wear down fixtures faster than in drier, inland areas. Regular maintenance and inspections can help catch issues early before they become emergencies.

Is a slow drain considered a plumbing emergency?

A single slow drain usually isn’t an emergency. Still, if multiple drains are backing up at once or sewage odours are present, that can signal a severe blockage in your main line that needs immediate attention. When in doubt, give us a call, and we can help you figure out the next steps.
