Is this a plumbing emergency?
If any of these are happening right now, don't wait — call immediately.
- Water flooding — burst pipe, supply line failure, or water pouring where it shouldn't
- Sewage backup — wastewater coming up through drains, tubs, or toilets (health hazard)
- Gas smell near a water heater or appliance — leave the area first, then call
- No running water at all, or a water heater leaking heavily
- Frozen pipes threatening to burst — Arctic blasts like 2021's freeze burst pipes across North Texas — attic and exterior-wall lines are most vulnerable.

Serving the Greater Dallas–Fort Worth Area
Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Irving — and every neighborhood in between. Dallas–Fort Worth sits on expansive clay soil that swells and shrinks with the seasons — shifting foundations shear buried water and sewer lines, a top cause of slab leaks across the metroplex. Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes knock out power and flood drainage systems, and rapid freeze-thaw cycles burst exposed pipes.
While you wait: shut the water off
- Find your main water shutoff valve — usually near the water meter or where the main line enters your home — and turn it clockwise.
- Turn off your water heater if it's leaking to prevent further damage.
- Keep people and pets away from standing water, especially near outlets and appliances.
- Move valuables and rugs away from the affected area if it's safe to do so.
