Top 5 Emergency Plumbing Cases We Get Called For Every Week in Frisco

Shower Won’t Shut Off & Drain Is Backed Up – Instant Flood
You wouldn’t believe how often this happens at 9 or 10 p.m. The shower valve fails, water won’t stop, and the drain is partially clogged with hair. Result? The shower tray or tub fills up and starts overflowing. The homeowner’s panicking. Water is pouring out, and there’s no shut-off in sight. We get there, shut it down, and stop the flood. Happens way more than you’d think.
Main Drain Line Clogged And the House Starts Overflowing
Everyone gets home from work, starts showering, flushing, doing laundry. But the main drain line is blocked. The moment someone runs the dishwasher or washing machine, it’s game over, water backs up through toilets, tubs, and sinks. We’ve seen houses flood with sewage water just because someone didn’t know the line was blocked. And yes, this is always an emergency.
Water Heater Burst in the Attic – Now It’s Raining Indoors
Water heaters don’t wait for business hours to fail. We’ve responded to dozens of calls where a tank in the attic ruptured at 2 a.m., sending gallons of water down walls and through vents. The only solution is to shut off the system and drain it immediately, something most homeowners don’t know how to do. If you hear dripping or see wet ceiling spots, call fast.
Rodents Chewed Through Pipes 3 Leaks at Once
We’ve been to homes where rats or squirrels chewed through PEX water lines in multiple places at once , sometimes five leaks in one ceiling. Water spraying like crazy. The damage starts spreading fast. These are some of the wildest emergency calls we’ve had, and they’re real.
Hidden Wall Leak , Copper Pipe Corrosion Strikes at Night
Sometimes it’s just an old copper line that gave out. It’s behind a wall, corroded for years, and now it finally ruptured. You hear dripping, see moisture, or your floor’s suddenly wet. Doesn’t matter if it’s 11 p.m. or 2 a.m., we’ve had to jump in the van and stop that leak before it destroys the drywall, insulation, and flooring.
Emergency Plumbing – Real Questions from Real Calls
My pipe just burst. What do I do first?
Turn off the main water valve right away. Then call us — we’ll guide you and dispatch a plumber fast.
Why do pipes burst during a freeze?
When water freezes, it expands inside the pipe. That pressure can crack the pipe — and when it thaws, water floods out.
Do you charge extra for emergency calls?
Yes, we have an emergency fee for late-night, weekend, or urgent calls. It keeps our licensed plumbers available 24/7.
