We Fix the Winter Emergency Nobody Wants

During the freezing winter nights, few plumbing emergencies strike as swiftly or severely as frozen or burst pipes. From residential homes to commercial properties, the havoc wreaked by these incidents can be both extensive and costly. When you call on Wighton’s in San Luis Obispo, you can trust that your problems will be solved swiftly.

What Causes Frozen or Burst Pipes?

When the water inside your pipes freezes, it expands, exerting excessive pressure on the pipe walls. Inevitably, this pressure can lead to cracks, ruptures, or complete bursts, resulting in flooding, water damage, and structural issues. From ruptured supply lines to burst sprinkler systems, the repercussions of frozen and burst pipes can be catastrophic, causing extensive damage to your property and belongings. If you suspect a burst or frozen pipe, turn off your water supply and contact a qualified plumber right away. Our emergency plumbing services are available around the clock to provide immediate assistance.

It’s not always obvious that you have a frozen or burst pipe in your home or business. If you notice any signs of discolored water, mold, strong odors, unexplained increases in your water bill, water marks on the wall, or water pressure fluctuations, call us to complete a thorough inspection of your plumbing systems. We may also use advanced camera inspection services to identify the source of the issue accurately.

We were very happy with all of the staff, from the Comfort Advisor to the technicians and office support staff. The mapping of the new system was very thorough and important to the efficiency and performance of our new Heat Pump System, by expanding and adding air registers in the kitchen, bathroom en suite, and bedroom.

Great service. Professional. The guys took a look. Quoted a price and were done and cleaned up in an hour. You get what you pay for! I’ve heard they are too expensive but it seemed fair considering the work done. Like I said though I could have found cheaper but who knows the quality? Not these guys! Quality!

Bruce G.

Tried other so-called HVAC “professionals” to fix our issues but only Tim was able to take care of our situation. He exhibited his professional skills in diagnosing our problem and explained the repairs he was going to make to us in a manner that we could understand. Obviously knowledgeable and also very friendly.

James D.

Luis and Silverio were very professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They took extra measures that protect our home and cleaned any debris. I would rate them both as exceptional. Luis mentioned that someone from Wighton may come back to do a follow-up on their work. That gave me a lot of confidence.

Louis L.

Carlos was great! He was very professional, did a great high-quality job, and went above and beyond for us. Seems like all plumbers are very busy right now, and our service was delayed by a day because he got caught up on another job. But after seeing the quality of the work he did, it was worth the wait.

Robyn A.

I had I believe James and Christian come help me with a shower drain. These guys really knew their stuff and I felt comfortable with them. They even helped me fix my smoker while they were here!!! Excellent job guys. You will be my go-to from here on out. Thank you!!!

Terry D.

Everyone we have interacted with has been the best. Polite, professional, responsive. We had a new water softener system installed, some plumbing redone, and water heater service. Everything was completed promptly and professionally. They are also fast to respond to inquiries. They provide great service and peace of mind. Very good service. We will use them again.

Don O.

We had a clogged toilet, bathtub, kitchen sink. Fonzi assessed the situation and gave us options on how to find a solution that worked for us. He did this politely and spoke in terms we could relate to. We continue to be pleased with their service and honest evaluations. Highly recommend this company.

Carol J.

Jared showed up on time and was very professional with diagnosing our HVAC issues. He fixed wiring and checked electrical connections to ensure no shorting issues. He diagnosed an issue with our circuit board tripping the breaker. He had replacement parts on hand and fixed the issue in a timely manner. Very professional, would definitely recommend.

Laura J.

David walked into a plumbing mess of epic proportions. One that many had been unwilling to help with based on the scope of work needed to be done. He could have chosen the path of least resistance, but he stayed at our place longer than he deserved to and evaluated every element of our problem.
