Can I fix a water leak myself or should I hire a professional?

You can fix a small, visible leak (like a dripping faucet or loose supply line) if you can safely shut off the local valve and replace a washer or tighten a connection. Hire a professional for hidden leaks, ceiling/slab moisture, water heater issues, sewer or drain backups, or any leak that won’t stop. Sierra provides 24/7 emergency plumbing with live answering and same-day options. S.A.M. members get priority in emergencies, one included emergency trip, and $30 off additional trips.

Quick checks:

• Shut off the fixture valve or main water.
• Avoid using affected fixtures or drains.
• Photograph the leak source area.
