Urgent plumbing problems
When something can't wait, the fastest useful step is a clear phone call.
Call to discuss your plumbing issue and availability.
Safety first. If anyone is in immediate danger, there is water near electrical outlets or panels, or you smell gas, leave the area and call 911 or your gas utility from a safe place first. Do not attempt electrical or gas work yourself.
What this covers
Some plumbing problems feel urgent because they are actively getting worse: water spreading across a floor, a supply line that has split, a toilet that keeps overflowing, or a home that has suddenly lost water. Others are urgent because of timing, such as a single bathroom in a busy household or a kitchen drain backing up before guests arrive.
This page is about getting the situation described clearly. Availability is discussed by phone, so call to explain what is happening and ask what can be arranged. This page does not promise a response time.

FAQ
Urgent Plumbing Problems: questions
Can someone come out right now?
Availability changes, so it is discussed on the phone. Call (737) 265-6423, describe what is happening and ask what can be arranged.
Should I turn off the water?
If you already know where your main shutoff is and you can reach it without risk, closing it can limit water damage while you call. If you are unsure, do not force anything; describe the situation by phone.
Is street or creek flooding a plumbing problem?
Usually not. Rainwater or creek flooding entering a home is a storm and drainage issue, not a plumbing repair. If your home is flooding from outside, follow local emergency guidance first.
What if I smell gas near the water heater?
Leave the home and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Do not try to relight, adjust or inspect gas equipment yourself.
