Overflowing or Backed-Up Drains
Sinks, tubs or floor drains pushing water back into the home instead of draining.
Sewer Backups
Waste water backing up through the lowest drains, often with odor, after heavy use or rain.
Loss of Normal Plumbing Function
No usable toilet, no running water or fixtures you cannot safely use right now.
Problems Needing Prompt Attention
A leaking water heater tank, a stuck shutoff valve or damage that is getting worse by the hour.
When to Call Right Away
Some plumbing problems can wait for a scheduled visit. These usually cannot, because water keeps moving and damage keeps spreading.
- Water is running and you cannot stop it at the fixture or the main shutoff.
- Waste water is backing up into a tub, shower or floor drain.
- You hear water running inside a wall or hear a hissing pipe.
- A ceiling, wall or floor is staining, sagging or feeling wet.
- The only toilet in the home is unusable.
- The water heater is leaking from the tank rather than a fitting.
What to Do Right Now
- 1Shut off the nearest fixture valve or the main water supply when it is safe to do so.
- 2Keep people and pets away from sewage or contaminated water.
- 3Do not touch electrical devices, outlets or panels near standing water.
- 4If you suspect a gas leak, leave the property and contact emergency services or the gas utility.
- 5Call and explain the symptoms and the location in the home.
Do not attempt repairs you are not comfortable with. Describe what you are seeing on the call instead.
Why Plumbing Fails in Dallas–Fort Worth Homes
North Texas soil and weather put unusual stress on residential plumbing. These are possible contributing factors, not a diagnosis — the cause is confirmed on site.
- Expansive clay soil that swells and shrinks with moisture, moving whatever is buried in it.
- Foundation movement that can stress supply and drain lines running under a slab.
- Slab-leak warning signs such as a warm spot on the floor, a running meter or a jump in usage.
- Freeze and thaw damage to hose bibbs, exposed lines and unheated wall cavities.
- Extreme summer heat and heavy irrigation demand on main water lines.
- Hard-water buildup in fixtures, valves and water heaters.
