Our network includes fully equipped professionals ready to handle any urgent plumbing situation, minimizing damage to your property and restoring normalcy to your home.
Understanding Emergency Plumbing
A plumbing emergency can strike any homeowner at any time without warning. Common emergencies include burst or frozen pipes, severe water leaks, complete drain blockages, sewage backups into your home, gas leaks, water heater failures flooding basements or utility rooms, and overflowing toilets that won't stop. The key to minimizing damage during any plumbing emergency is quick, decisive action. Knowing where your main water shut-off valve is located—and turning it off immediately when you have an active leak—can save thousands in water damage. Then call a professional immediately. Attempting DIY repairs on emergency situations often makes problems worse and can create additional safety hazards.
Why Amarillo Needs Expert Emergency Plumbing
The Texas Panhandle's extreme weather creates plumbing emergencies that other regions rarely experience. When temperatures plunge below 20°F during winter cold snaps—which can happen quickly in Amarillo—pipes in uninsulated spaces can freeze and burst, often while homeowners are sleeping. The rapid temperature swings common to our region cause expansion and contraction that stresses pipe joints and connections. Our older neighborhoods often have aging plumbing systems that are more vulnerable to sudden failure. Our network of emergency plumbers understands these local risks and responds quickly to contain damage and make repairs, day or night, 365 days a year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as a plumbing emergency?
Any situation that poses immediate risk of ongoing water damage, health hazards, or makes your home uninhabitable. This includes burst pipes, active severe leaks, sewage backing into your home, suspected gas leaks, complete loss of water, and water heater failures causing flooding. When in doubt, call—we'll help you assess the situation.
Do you charge extra for emergency calls?
Emergency calls outside normal business hours (nights, weekends, holidays) include a service call fee that covers our immediate response. However, the actual repair costs are the same as during regular hours. We always provide upfront pricing before beginning any work, so you know exactly what you're paying.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber?
For active leaks: turn off water at the main shut-off valve (usually near the meter or where the water line enters your house). For sewer backups: stop using all drains and toilets. For suspected gas leaks: leave the house immediately, don't operate any switches, and call from outside. Move belongings away from active water if safe to do so.
How do I get emergency plumbing help?
Contact us with details about your emergency and we'll connect you with an available plumber in our network. For severe emergencies, we prioritize getting you help as quickly as possible.
Do you repair damage caused by the plumbing emergency?
We focus on plumbing repairs—stopping leaks, fixing pipes, clearing blockages, and restoring your plumbing system. For water damage restoration (drying, mold prevention, repairs to walls/floors), we work with trusted local restoration companies and can help coordinate those services.
What if the emergency happens during a winter freeze?
We respond to frozen and burst pipe emergencies around the clock, even during severe weather. We recommend calling immediately if you suspect frozen pipes—we may be able to thaw them before they burst. If they've already burst, we'll contain the damage and make repairs as quickly as conditions allow.
