Quick answer An emergency plumbing call means a burst pipe, an active leak, a sewage backup, or a total loss of water or hot water — anything that’s actively causing damage or leaving your home without a working system. During business hours, Monday through Saturday, these calls move to the front of the schedule ahead of routine appointments, and most get a technician on site the same day.

Diagnose It First

What counts as a plumbing emergency?

If your situation matches one of these, call — don’t wait for the next routine opening.

Active water damage

A burst pipe, a supply line failure, or a leak that’s actively flooding a room. This needs an immediate shutoff and same-day repair.

Sewage backup

Multiple drains backing up or sewage coming up through a floor drain. This is both a plumbing and a health issue, and gets same-day priority.

Total loss of water or hot water

No water at all, or a water heater failure leaving a household without hot water. Not always an active-damage emergency, but urgent enough to prioritize.

Right Now

What to do while you wait for us

  • Burst pipe or active leak Shut off the water at the main shutoff valve immediately. Know where it is before you need it — usually near the water meter or where the main line enters the house.
  • Sewage backup Stop using all drains and toilets. Running more water forces sewage further up through the lowest fixture in the home.
  • Gas smell This is not a plumbing-first emergency — leave the house, call Atmos Energy at 1-800-568-2677, then call us.
Common question

Should I try to fix a burst pipe myself before help arrives?

Don’t attempt a repair, but do shut off the water. A temporary patch on a burst pipe under pressure often fails within minutes and can make the eventual repair more complicated. Shutting off the main valve stops the damage; the repair itself should wait for someone who can assess the full extent of what failed.

Local Pattern

Why emergencies cluster in certain seasons

Storm season, roughly June through November, is when we see the highest volume of emergency calls — heavy, sustained rain overwhelms sump pumps and sewer connections that handled normal flow the rest of the year without issue. Summer heat, July and August specifically, drives a second spike in slab leak emergencies as copper pipe expansion reaches its yearly peak.

Common question

Is there a way to reduce my chances of a plumbing emergency during storm season?

A pre-season check catches most of what turns into an emergency later — testing the sump pump, running a sewer camera to check for root intrusion, and checking the water heater’s pressure relief valve, ideally before June 1st each year.
