Call now, 24/7(903) 500-0026Which problems count as emergencies
Not every problem needs a night call. Some should never wait for morning.
From must-call-now to can-wait
A burst pipe, a sewage backup, a flooding water heater and any smell of gas are true emergencies. A single slow drain, a dripping faucet or a running toilet can usually wait for a daytime visit, though a running toilet left alone wastes water. If you are not sure, the call itself will sort it out.
An emergency plumber in Greenville, TX deals with the first group around the clock. The second group is covered by the same number during regular hours or by the 24 hour plumber page.
| Situation | Call now? | Do first |
|---|---|---|
| Burst pipe, water spraying | Yes | Shut the main valve |
| Sewage coming up drains | Yes | Stop using water |
| Gas smell | Yes, from outside | Leave and avoid switches |
| Water heater flooding | Yes | Close its supply valve |
| Overflowing toilet | Yes | Close the toilet supply |
| No water at all | Yes, if only your house | Check the main valve |
| Slow sink drain | Can wait | Avoid chemicals |
| Dripping faucet | Can wait | Close the valve under the sink |
Texas homes bring their own patterns. Attic water heaters can drip into ceilings, slab foundations hide supply lines, and a rare hard freeze can split exposed pipe overnight. None of that changes the first move, which is to stop the water and call, but it explains why a pipe problem can show up far from where it started.
If you have a few minutes before help arrives, write down the time you noticed the problem, take photographs of the wet areas and shut off anything electrical that stands in or near water. Those small steps make the visit faster and the paperwork simpler later.
Shutoffs that stop the damage
Three valves and one panel give you the most control.
Water, power and the fixture valve
The main water shutoff stops all water to the house. It is often near the meter, at the street side of the property, or where the line enters the house. Turn it clockwise, or a quarter turn if it has a lever handle. Each fixture also has its own valve: under sinks, behind toilets, on the water heater.
If water is near outlets or appliances, switch off power at the panel only if you can reach it without stepping in water. For a walk-through, read how to shut off the main water valve and what to do when a pipe bursts.
- Main water valveStops everything at once.
- Fixture valveIsolates a toilet, sink or heater.
- Water heater cold supplyStops a flooding tank refilling.
- Electric panelOnly if dry and reachable.
- Gas meter or appliance valveOnly if you know how and there is no smell.
- Move valuables upPapers and electronics first.
Gas smell: leave first, call second
Gas is a different kind of emergency. The rules are short.
Gas safety in four lines
Natural gas has an added odor like rotten eggs so you can notice a leak. If you smell it, do not light anything, do not flip switches or use a phone inside, and do not try to find the leak. Get everyone out, including pets, and call from outside or from a neighbor.
Read signs of a gas leak in your home and gas leak repair for more. Never turn the gas back on yourself once it has been shut off for a leak.
Leave
Everyone and every pet, now.
No sparks
No switches, lighters or appliances.
Call outside
From a safe distance.
Stay out
Until the plumber says it is safe.
Sewage in the house: who to call and what to avoid
Wastewater carries germs, so keep people and pets away.
Public main versus your own line
The City of Greenville operates the public sewer system. The pipe from your house to the main in the street belongs to the property owner in general. If a backup hits several neighbors at once, the main may be the cause and the City needs to know. If it is just your house, the problem is probably on your side.
Stop using water, which includes flushing and laundry. Do not walk through wastewater barefoot. Keep children and pets away. An emergency plumber in Greenville, TX can clear and inspect the line. See also sewer line repair and drain cleaning.
| Clue | Likely location | Who handles it |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest drain in the house fills first | Your main line | You, with a plumber |
| Neighbors have backups too | Public main | The City |
| Wet patch in the yard | Service line | You, with a plumber |
| Septic home | Tank or field | Say so when you call |
What to say when you call
A short, clear description speeds everything up.
Five details help the person on the phone
Say what failed, where the water is going, whether you have closed any valve, and whether anyone smells gas or sewage. Give your street and a cross street if it helps. If you know the age of the house or the pipe material, mention it.
Water supply varies by address: many Greenville addresses are City customers and others are served by nearby districts. If the whole street is dry, say so. Your bill tells you who supplies you.
- Where is the water?Room, floor and source.
- What have you done?Valves closed, power off.
- Any smell?Gas or sewage changes the advice.
- Who is home?Children, elders and pets.
- Where to park and enterSaves time on site.
Cleanup, drying and a look at what failed
Stopping the water is the start, not the end.
| Step | Why | When |
|---|---|---|
| Photograph the damage | Useful for insurance | Right away |
| Dry wet areas | Prevents mold | As soon as water is stopped |
| Ask what caused it | Prevents a repeat | At the visit |
| Check other pipes of the same age | One failure can point to others | In the following weeks |
| Read your homeowner paperwork | Know what applies | In the next few days |
| Mark the main valve | Faster shutoff next time | Once |
