24 Hour Emergency Plumber in San Antonio, TX

Plumbing emergencies rarely happen at a convenient time. A burst pipe flooding your kitchen at midnight, a backed-up sewer line on a holiday morning, or a sudden, inexplicable leak causing water damage can feel overwhelming and stressful.

Types of Plumbing Emergencies We Handle

Plumbing emergencies come in various forms, and our experienced technicians are trained and equipped to address them all. No matter the time of day or night, you can count on us for immediate assistance with issues such as:

  • Burst Pipes: Frigid temperatures, old infrastructure, or sudden pressure changes can cause pipes to burst, leading to rapid and extensive water damage. Identifying and shutting off the water source is the first step, followed by prompt repair or Whole Home Repiping if the issue is widespread. Our emergency service includes locating the burst section, stopping the flow, and performing necessary repairs to restore your plumbing system.
  • Major Leaks: Whether it's a significant leak under a sink, behind a wall, or from the ceiling, major leaks can cause serious structural damage and lead to mold growth if not addressed immediately. Our technicians use advanced Leak Detection + Repair methods to pinpoint the source of the leak quickly, even if it's hidden, and provide effective repairs to prevent further damage.
  • Sewer Backups: A sewer backup is not only a major inconvenience but also a significant health hazard. Blockages in the main sewer line or within your property's Drain Services can cause sewage to back up into drains, toilets, and tubs. We provide emergency Sewer Line Repair + Replacement and Drain Cleaning services, including hydro jetting, to clear severe blockages and address the underlying cause of the backup, ensuring your home is safe and functional.
  • Overflowing Toilets: While sometimes a simple clog, an overflowing toilet that doesn't stop running can indicate a more serious issue with the drain line or fill valve, potentially leading to significant water damage if not controlled quickly. We can rapidly address the cause of the overflow and prevent widespread flooding.
  • No Hot Water: A lack of hot water is a major disruption, especially during colder months. This can be caused by issues with your Water Heaters, whether conventional or tankless. Our emergency services include diagnosing and often repairing common water heater problems promptly to restore your hot water supply. If a repair isn't possible, we can discuss temporary solutions and plan for replacement.
  • Sump Pump Failures: For properties with basements, a functional sump pump is vital for preventing flooding, especially during heavy rain. A failed sump pump during a storm constitutes a major emergency. We can troubleshoot and repair or replace malfunctioning sump pumps to protect your property from water damage.
  • Gas Leaks: This is a critical emergency. If you suspect a gas leak (you smell gas, hear a hissing sound, or your carbon monoxide detector goes off), leave the premises immediately and call the gas company from a safe location. Once the gas company has addressed the immediate danger and shut off the supply, you will need a licensed Gas Plumbers to inspect and repair the gas line issue before service can be safely restored. Our emergency plumbing team includes certified gas plumbers ready to assist after the initial safety measures are taken.
  • Slab Leaks: Leaks occurring beneath the concrete foundation of your home (Slab Leak Repairs) can cause significant structural damage, affect your home's foundation, and lead to mold growth. While sometimes subtle, a sudden worsening or discovery of a major slab leak requires immediate attention to minimize damage. We are equipped to detect and repair slab leaks urgently.
