Every Plumbing Emergency We Handle in Tyler, TX - 24/7

From burst pipes to gas line emergencies - our licensed Tyler TX emergency plumbers are trained, equipped, and dispatched immediately for every type of plumbing emergency near you.

Burst Pipe Repair

A burst pipe can release 100+ gallons per hour into your home - destroying flooring, drywall, furniture, and structural framing in hours. We arrive fast, stop the flow, and repair the burst to code - preventing mold and structural damage that worsens every minute.

Dispatch in 60 min

Water Leak Emergency Response

Active water leaks behind walls, under floors, or at supply lines cause invisible damage long before they're visible. Our emergency leak response team uses electronic detection to find and stop your leak immediately - protecting your home's structure and preventing mold growth.

Electronic Detection

No Hot Water Emergency

A failed water heater in winter is a true emergency - especially for families with young children or elderly members. We dispatch immediately for no-hot-water emergencies in Tyler TX, diagnose the exact failure, and restore hot water the same visit whenever possible.

Same-Visit Restoration

Sewage Backup Emergency

Sewage backing into your tubs, toilets, or floor drains is a serious health hazard - containing bacteria, viruses, and toxic gases. Stop using all water immediately and call us. Our emergency team clears the blockage, sanitizes affected areas, and inspects your sewer line for root or structural causes.

Health Emergency

Flooding & Water Damage Plumbing

Active flooding from plumbing failures requires immediate source shutoff and extraction planning. Our emergency flooding response team shuts off the source, identifies all affected areas, documents damage for insurance, and begins the repair process - stopping the damage before it compounds.

Insurance Documented

Gas Line Emergency Shutoff

A gas leak is a life-threatening emergency. If you smell gas - leave immediately, do not use any electrical switches, call 911, then call us. Our licensed gas emergency plumbers arrive with gas detection equipment, shut off the source safely, and perform pressure testing and repair to restore gas service safely.

Life Safety Priority

Frozen Pipe Thaw & Repair

When East Texas gets a hard freeze, Tyler TX homes with uninsulated attic or exterior wall pipes face burst risk within hours. We thaw frozen pipes using professional equipment - safely and without the steam-blast cracking risk of DIY methods - then repair any freeze damage and insulate to prevent recurrence.

Freeze Emergency

Overflowing Toilet Emergency

An overflowing toilet - especially one with sewage present - contaminates your bathroom floor, subflooring, and adjacent areas rapidly. Shut off the valve behind the base, stop using all toilets, and call immediately. We clear the blockage, sanitize, and inspect the cause to prevent recurrence.

Sanitation Emergency

Immediate Action Guide

What to Do RIGHT NOW Before Our Emergency Plumber Arrives

The right actions in the first 5 minutes of a plumbing emergency can save thousands in additional damage. Here's exactly what our Tyler TX emergency dispatchers tell every caller while we dispatch your plumber:

GAS LEAK EXCEPTION: If you smell gas - do NOT follow the steps below. Leave your home immediately without using any lights or switches. Call 911 from outside, then call us at (903) 707-8889. Do not re-enter until cleared by professionals.

Shut Off Your Main Water Valve - Immediately

For any active leak or burst pipe: locate your main shut-off valve - typically near your water meter, where the main line enters your home, or in your utility closet. Turn it clockwise (righty-tighty) until completely closed. This stops all water flow to your home and prevents further flooding.

Cut Power in Flooded Areas at Your Breaker

Water and electricity are a life-threatening combination. If water has reached any area near outlets, appliances, or your electrical panel - go to your breaker box and turn off the circuit(s) for those areas immediately. Do not enter a flooded area if outlets or appliances are submerged.

Call (903) 707-8889 - Stay on the Line

Call us immediately. Our dispatcher will confirm your address, assess the emergency level, give you additional specific instructions for your situation, and dispatch your plumber - all while keeping you calm and informed about the estimated arrival time.

Document Everything for Your Insurance

While waiting - if it's safe to do so - photograph and video the damage from multiple angles. Include timestamps. This documentation is critical for your homeowner's insurance claim. Our plumber will also provide a written emergency report documenting the cause and extent of damage to support your filing.

Move Valuables and Open Windows if Safe

If water damage has not spread to an area, move valuables, electronics, and documents to dry areas. Open windows to reduce humidity and slow mold conditions. Place towels or buckets to manage slow drips if the main is off. Do not use any plumbing fixtures until our plumber clears them as safe.

Prevent Future Emergencies

How Tyler TX Homeowners Can Prevent Most Plumbing Emergencies

Our emergency plumbers share the habits that eliminate 80% of the after-hours calls we respond to - from Tyler homeowners who learned the hard way.

Know Your Main Shut-Off Valve Location

The #1 thing that determines how much damage a burst pipe causes is how fast you can shut off the main valve. Every adult in your Tyler TX home should know exactly where this valve is and be able to operate it immediately. If you don't know where yours is, call us - we'll locate and tag it during any service call.

Winterize Before Every Hard Freeze Warning

Tyler TX doesn't get hard freezes often - but when we do, unprepared homeowners flood our emergency lines with burst pipe calls. When temperatures below 20°F are forecast: insulate attic pipes, disconnect outdoor hoses, let faucets drip on exterior walls, and know where your shut-off is. A few minutes of prevention can save you from a major burst-pipe emergency.

Install a Water Leak Detector at Key Locations

Smart water leak detectors placed under sinks, behind toilets, near your water heater, and beside your washing machine alert you to leaks before they become floods. They're among the highest-value home safety upgrades available - catching a small leak before it becomes a major water damage claim.

Schedule a Plumbing Inspection Every 2 Years

Most plumbing emergencies our Tyler TX team responds to - burst pipes, slab leaks, sewage backups - show warning signs weeks or months before failure. A professional plumbing inspection catches these before they become emergencies: pressure issues, pipe corrosion, tree root intrusion, and deteriorating water heaters. The cost of an inspection is always less than the cheapest emergency call.

Watch Your Water Bill for Hidden Leaks

A sudden increase in your Tyler TX water bill - with no change in usage - almost always means a hidden leak somewhere in your system. Check your water meter before bed and after 8 hours of zero usage overnight. If the reading changed, you have a leak. Catching it now, before it's visible damage, saves thousands.

Never Ignore a Gas Smell - Ever

In 45+ years of emergency plumbing in Tyler TX, we've never seen a gas leak situation where "wait and see" was the right answer. Even a faint sulfur or rotten egg smell anywhere in or near your home requires immediate action: leave, call 911, call your gas provider, then call us. Gas leaks reach explosive concentration quickly. There is no safe threshold.

24/7 Emergency Plumber in Tyler, TX - Pro Plumbers Tyler's Complete Emergency Plumbing Guide

A plumbing emergency does not care about your schedule, your budget, or the time on the clock. Burst pipes burst at 2 AM on Christmas morning. Sewage backups happen at 11 PM on a Friday. Gas line failures don't wait for business hours. That's why Pro Plumbers Tyler operates a true 24-hour emergency plumbing service in Tyler TX - not a "we'll try to get someone out" system, but a fully staffed, fully equipped emergency dispatch that operates every minute of every day throughout the year. When Tyler TX homeowners need an emergency plumber near them, Pro Plumbers Tyler has been the answer since 1979.

What Makes Pro Plumbers Tyler's Best Emergency Plumbing Service

The difference between a real 24/7 emergency plumbing service and a company that just answers an after-hours line comes down to three things: response time, equipment, and the quality of the plumber they dispatch. At Pro Plumbers Tyler, our emergency response target is 60 minutes or less throughout Tyler and Smith County. Every emergency van is stocked with the most common repair materials - pipe sections, fittings, drain clearing equipment, electronic leak detectors, and common replacement parts - so most emergency plumbing situations in Tyler TX are resolved in a single visit. And every plumber we dispatch - day, night, weekend, or holiday - is TSBPE licensed, background checked, and carries full liability insurance. There are no skeleton crews. No unlicensed on-call subcontractors. The same quality every time.

The Most Common Emergency Plumbing Calls in Tyler, TX

After 45+ years of responding to emergency plumbing calls throughout Tyler and Smith County, our team knows exactly which emergencies are most common in East Texas - and we're prepared for all of them. Burst pipe emergencies spike during rare East Texas hard freezes, when homes with uninsulated attic pipes or exterior wall lines fail rapidly. Sewage backup emergencies are especially common in Tyler's older neighborhoods - the Azalea District, Rose District, and Brooks-Quinn-Jones area - where original cast iron drain lines from the 1950s-1980s have reached or exceeded their service life. Slab leak emergencies are driven by Tyler's expansive clay soil, which contracts and expands with seasonal moisture - stressing foundation-embedded copper pipes until they fail. Water heater flooding emergencies occur most frequently in units 10-15 years old that have never been inspected or maintained. Our emergency plumbers encounter all of these regularly and carry the specific equipment and parts to resolve them efficiently. Call (903) 707-8889 - your Tyler TX emergency plumber is ready right now.

FAQ

Emergency Plumbing Questions - Answered by Tyler TX Plumbers

Real answers from the licensed plumbers who respond to emergency calls across Tyler TX every night, weekend, and holiday.

How fast does an emergency plumber arrive in Tyler TX?

Pro Plumbers Tyler dispatches a licensed plumber within 60 minutes anywhere in Tyler TX and Smith County, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We answer live-no answering service, no callbacks. Call (903) 707-8889 and a real dispatcher picks up right away, assesses your emergency, and sends the nearest available plumber while you stay on the line.

What counts as a plumbing emergency in Tyler TX?

Plumbing emergencies include: burst or frozen pipes, sewage backing up into tubs or floor drains, complete loss of water pressure, flooding from a water heater or appliance, a gas smell near water heater connections, or any situation where water is actively damaging your home or property. If water is moving and you cannot stop it, treat it as an emergency and call immediately.

Do emergency plumbers cost more in Tyler TX?

Emergency plumbing calls outside normal business hours may include a dispatch fee, but Pro Plumbers Tyler provides upfront pricing before any work begins. You know the exact cost before we touch a single pipe-no surprise charges, no after-hours markup revealed on the invoice.

Are you really available 24 hours a day in Tyler TX?

Yes-every night, every weekend, and every holiday. This is a true 24-hour emergency plumbing service, not an after-hours answering line that takes a message. The same TSBPE licensed, background-checked plumbers who work Tuesday afternoons are the ones dispatched at 2 AM on Christmas morning. No skeleton crews and no unlicensed on-call subcontractors.

What should I do if I smell gas in my Tyler TX home?

A gas leak is a life-threatening emergency and the one situation where you should not wait. Leave your home immediately without touching any light switches, electrical outlets, or appliances. Call 911 from outside, then call your gas provider, then call us at (903) 707-8889. Do not re-enter until cleared by professionals. There is no safe threshold for a gas smell.

Which areas around Tyler do you cover for emergency calls?

We dispatch from Tyler throughout Smith County and surrounding East Texas, reaching most calls within 60 minutes-including Whitehouse, Lindale, Bullard, Hideaway, Arp, Chandler, Van, Winona, Troup, Kilgore, Gladewater, and Mineola. Emergency service runs every hour of every day in all listed areas.

What should I do the moment a pipe bursts?

Shut off your main water valve first, then cut power to any flooded area at the breaker. Move valuables clear of the water, open a few faucets to drain the lines, and call (903) 707-8889 so we can dispatch a plumber while you work.

Is a leaking water heater an emergency?

A small drip at a fitting can often wait for a scheduled visit, but water pouring from the tank body is an emergency - the tank has failed and won't stop. Shut off the water and the heater's gas or breaker, then call us. See water heater repair.

Is a sewage backup a health hazard?

Yes. Raw sewage carries bacteria, viruses, and gases that are a genuine health risk. Stop using all water immediately, keep people and pets away from the area, and don't clean it with household tools. We clear the blockage and sanitize - see sewer repair.

Will homeowners insurance cover emergency plumbing damage?

Homeowners policies often cover sudden, accidental water damage - like a burst pipe - but usually not damage from long-term leaks or deferred maintenance. Photograph everything and keep our written report for your claim. Always confirm the specifics with your insurer, since coverage varies by policy.
