Emergency Plumbing

Plumbing problems do not wait for a good time. A burst pipe, backed-up drain, overflowing toilet, or failed water heater can turn into a major mess fast. At Plunger Pros, we provide emergency plumbing service for homeowners and property owners in New Braunfels, San Antonio, and surrounding areas. We respond with urgency, clear communication, and the kind of hands-on experience that helps stop damage and get your plumbing working again.

When you call us for emergency plumbing, our first goal is simple: protect your home and control the problem. Water can damage drywall, flooring, cabinets, insulation, and personal belongings in a short amount of time. Sewer backups can create unsafe conditions and strong odors. Gas-related plumbing issues can also become serious quickly. We treat these calls with the attention they deserve and work to find the source of the issue, explain what is happening, and make the needed repair as efficiently as possible.

What counts as a plumbing emergency?

Not every plumbing issue needs immediate service, but many do. If the problem is causing active water damage, health concerns, loss of essential plumbing, or safety risks, it is usually an emergency. We help with many urgent plumbing problems, including:

  • Burst pipes or leaking water lines
  • Sudden pipe leaks inside walls, ceilings, or under sinks
  • Overflowing toilets
  • Severely clogged drains causing backups
  • Sewer line backups and drain line emergencies
  • No hot water from a failing water heater
  • Water heater leaks
  • Slab leaks and unexplained water intrusion
  • Low water pressure caused by a major plumbing failure
  • Gas line concerns related to plumbing systems
  • Shutoff valve failures or fixture leaks that will not stop

If you are not sure whether your situation is urgent, give us a call. We can help you understand the severity of the problem and the next best step.

Our emergency plumbing process

We believe emergency service should still be professional, organized, and easy to understand. When we arrive, we start by assessing the immediate risk and locating the source of the issue. If needed, we help isolate the problem by shutting off water to a fixture, section, or the whole home. Once the situation is stable, we perform a thorough diagnosis to identify what failed and why.

From there, we explain your repair options in plain language. Some plumbing emergencies can be repaired on the spot. Others may require part replacement, more extensive pipe repair, drain cleaning equipment, water heater service, or a larger restoration plan. Our job is to give you honest information, quality workmanship, and a clear path forward.

Emergency pipe leak and burst pipe repair

Burst pipes and active leaks are some of the most damaging plumbing emergencies we see. These problems may be caused by age, corrosion, shifting pipes, bad connections, high water pressure, or accidental damage. Even a small leak can spread into walls and flooring before it becomes visible.

We locate the source of the leak, stop the water flow, and repair or replace the damaged section of pipe. We also check for related problems that may have caused the failure in the first place. Catching the full issue matters, because a quick patch alone is not always enough if the surrounding plumbing is also worn or compromised.

Emergency drain and sewer backup service

A blocked drain can move from annoying to urgent when wastewater starts backing up into sinks, tubs, showers, or toilets. In more serious cases, the issue may be in the main sewer line. Sewer backups can affect multiple fixtures at once and should be handled quickly to reduce contamination risks and prevent damage.

We diagnose the source of the blockage and use the right method to clear it safely. Depending on the issue, that may involve professional drain cleaning, augering, or further inspection of the line. We do not believe in guesswork. We focus on solving the backup at its source so your plumbing can drain the way it should.

Emergency water heater service

Water heater problems can become emergencies when the unit is leaking, not producing hot water, making unusual noises, or showing signs of pressure or tank failure. A leaking water heater can damage nearby walls and flooring, while a failing unit can leave your home without reliable hot water when you need it most.

We service common water heater emergencies and help determine whether repair or replacement makes more sense. If the issue involves valves, connections, heating components, or the tank itself, we will walk you through the condition of the system and the best solution for your home.

Signs you should call right away

  • Water is actively pooling on floors or dripping through ceilings
  • You cannot stop a leak with the local shutoff
  • Toilets, tubs, or sinks are backing up with wastewater
  • You smell sewer gas or notice strong drain odors
  • You have no access to water in key parts of the home
  • Your water heater is leaking or has stopped working suddenly
  • You suspect a slab leak because of wet spots, hot floors, or unexplained water use
  • Your plumbing issue is creating a safety risk for your family or property

What you can do before we arrive

In many cases, a few quick steps can help reduce damage while you wait for a plumber. If it is safe to do so, shut off the water supply to the affected fixture or to the home. Move towels, rugs, electronics, and valuables away from standing water. Avoid using drains or toilets if you suspect a sewer backup. If your water heater is leaking, turn off the unit if you know how to do it safely. For any possible gas issue, leave the area and contact the proper emergency utility provider right away.

Do not take risks with wet electrical areas, sewage exposure, or anything that feels unsafe. Your safety comes first.
