Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can an emergency plumber arrive in Texas?
Most emergency plumbers on TX24H respond within 15 to 45 minutes depending on your location and time of day. Major metro areas like Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin typically have the fastest response times. Rural areas may take slightly longer, but we prioritize connecting you with the nearest available licensed plumber.
How much does an emergency plumber cost in Texas?
Emergency plumbing calls in Texas typically start at $150 to $350 for the service call fee, which covers the trip and initial diagnosis. The total cost depends on the repair needed. After-hours and weekend calls usually carry a premium of $50 to $150 over standard rates. Always ask for an upfront estimate before work begins.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber?
Shut off the main water valve immediately to stop flooding. For sewage backups, avoid using any drains or toilets. If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas company. Move valuables away from water and use towels or buckets to contain what you can. Document damage with photos for insurance purposes.
Should I try to fix a burst pipe myself?
Temporary fixes like pipe clamps or rubber patches can slow a leak, but they are not permanent solutions. For a burst pipe, the most important step is shutting off the water supply. Do not attempt soldering or major repairs without proper training and tools, as incorrect work can cause further damage or violate Texas plumbing codes.
Does homeowners insurance cover emergency plumbing?
Most Texas homeowners insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as a burst pipe, but typically do not cover damage from neglected maintenance or slow leaks. The plumbing repair itself is usually your responsibility, while water damage to your property may be covered. Contact your insurer promptly and keep all receipts.
Are emergency plumbers licensed in Texas?
Yes, all plumbers on TX24H are required to hold valid Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners licenses. Texas law requires plumbers to be licensed for any work beyond basic homeowner repairs. Licensed plumbers carry insurance and are trained to handle emergencies safely and up to code, protecting you from liability.
