Why this comes up in Houston

Houston freezes are rare and sudden, and homeowners are often unprepared. Burst pipes from outdoor hose bibs, supply lines in uninsulated attics, and underground slab lines are the most common emergencies. Hard water corrosion can also weaken pipes until they fail without warning. An experienced plumber can distinguish between a burst from freeze damage, a rupture from soil movement, and a slow leak that finally gave way.

Do this before you call

Shut off the main water valve before you call. It is usually in the basement, crawlspace, garage, or at the street meter. Then call and we will route you to whoever can get there fastest.

emergency plumber questions in Houston

Why did my hose bib burst when it was only freezing for one night?

Houston hose bibs are typically not insulated or protected because freezing is rare. A single night below freezing is enough to rupture an exposed outdoor faucet. Backflow preventers, bleeder valves, or inline freeze-proof faucets can prevent this, but once it happens, the plumber we connect you with will isolate the line and replace the bib.

Is a slab leak always expensive?

It can be. If the leak is in a supply line under the slab, you may need to break concrete to access and replace it. If it is in a hot water line, you might have the option of stopping it at the breaker box and rerouting. The plumber we route to you can run a leak detection test to pinpoint it and discuss your options. Some leaks are simple to fix; others require significant work.

How do I know if I have a real emergency?

If water is actively flowing and you cannot shut it off at the main, or if sewage is backing up into your home, that is an emergency. If you see a wet spot under the house, a spike in your water bill, or water pooling in your yard, call as soon as you can, but it is less urgent. The plumber we connect you with can determine next steps.
