A burst or split pipe
Water spraying or pooling from a split pipe is a burst pipe, whether it shows up in a wall, a ceiling or the yard. Tell us where you see the water and how far it has spread.
Emergency Plumbing in Richardson
Water spraying from a pipe, sewage rising through a drain or a water heater leaking onto the floor all count as emergencies. Call us, say what you are seeing, and the list below shows what to mention.
Tell us the address, what you can see and when it started, and the plumber who takes the call gives a free estimate.
What counts as a plumbing emergency
Sewage coming back up
Sewage rising in a tub, shower or floor drain, or a toilet that gurgles and backs up, can point to a blockage in the sewer line or the drains that feed it. Say which fixtures are affected.
A toilet overflowing
A toilet that keeps rising or spills over when flushed may be blocked itself or may be backing up from the drain behind it. Tell us whether other fixtures are slow too, since that helps sort out which.
A leaking water heater
Water pooling under a tank, dripping from a connection or running from the relief pipe is a leaking water heater. Give us the age of the tank if you know it and whether it runs on gas or electricity.
No water at the taps
A tap that runs dry, or a trickle at every fixture, can come from a closed or failed valve, a broken supply line or a problem on the city side. Say whether the whole house or only one fixture is affected.
Freezing days in Richardson
Richardson’s winters bring roughly 27 days at 32°F or lower, and January nights average 35°F. The most exposed pipes are the ones in the attic, the garage and outside walls, so start by looking at where yours run.
Where a pipe runs decides how exposed it is, and the free pipe freeze risk checker rates yours on that basis. One that has already split is covered by the burst pipe entry above.
What the repair involves
After the call, the plumber you hire finds where the water or the blockage comes from and decides whether the fix is a part swap, a section of new pipe or a larger repair.
Water damage you cannot see may call for leak detection and a blocked main for sewer repair, while the homepage lists the rest of what Richardson homes can call about.
