Will a plumber come out at night in Longview?

Many plumbers take emergency calls after hours and on weekends. The plumber who gets in touch tells you when they can arrive and confirms any after-hours rate first.

Should I contact the water company about a burst pipe?

Only if you can't close your own main valve. The city's side of the meter is theirs; your side is yours, so a plumber handles leaks on the house side.

Emergency Plumber in Longview, TX

Water in the wrong place spreads fast across a slab floor. Stop the flow, get people clear of anything electrical, then tell a plumber exactly what you're seeing.

Stop the water first

On many Longview homes the main shut-off is near the street at the meter box, and some houses have a second valve where the line enters the house or near the water heater. Turn the main off fully, then open the lowest faucet in the house so pressure drops and the leak slows.

Slab homes and spreading water

On a concrete slab there's no crawl space to catch water. It runs under baseboards, into carpet pad and along the walls. Pull rugs and furniture out of the wet area, and take photos of where it started. If water seems to come up through the floor itself, that points to a slab leak.

Power and appliances

Stay out of standing water near outlets, the water heater or the breaker panel. If you can reach the panel from a dry spot, switch off circuits in the wet room. Unplug nothing while you are standing in water.

A backup from the drains

Sewage coming up through a tub or floor drain means the main line is blocked. Stop using every fixture, including the washer and dishwasher, because each one adds more water behind the blockage. Keep children and pets out of the area.

Storm-season leaks

Heavy spring storms can push water in around roof flashing or pipe vents, and that sometimes looks like a plumbing leak. If the drip only appears during rain, tell the plumber, because the cause may be the roof rather than a pipe.

What to send

Where the water is, whether the main is off, how long it ran and what it has reached. Send a request and a plumber will get in touch.
