Burst Pipe or Sewer Backup in Your Home?
Water spreading across the floor or sewage backing up into the tub can’t sit until next week. A Service Squad plumber traces the leak or backup to its source, whether it’s a split supply line, hidden slab leak, or blocked sewer. Same-day appointments may be available when you call before noon, Monday through Friday. Call (817) 518-3309 to book an urgent repair visit.
What Happens During an Emergency Plumbing Visit?
- If water is still running, your plumber first stops it at the nearest shutoff or the main.
- Next, the plumber traces the leak or backup to the failed pipe, fitting, or blockage.
- You get a clear price for the repair before that work begins.
- Once you approve, the plumber clears the blockage or replaces the damaged pipe or fitting, depending on the cause.
- We run water through the repaired line and check nearby pipes for damage where needed.

Emergency Plumbing FAQs
- How soon can I get an urgent plumbing appointment in Fort Worth? Same-day appointments may be available when you call before noon. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- What should I do if a pipe bursts after business hours? Shut off the main water valve right away. In many homes, it’s near the water meter, in the garage, or beside an outdoor hose bib. Closing it stops the flow until a plumber can make the repair.
- What should I do if I smell gas? Leave the house right away, without flipping light switches or starting a car in the garage. Once you’re outside, call 911 or your gas utility.
- What counts as an urgent plumbing problem? It’s urgent when water is causing damage or your home has no working plumbing. That includes a burst supply line, sewage coming up through a drain, or no water to the house. A slow drip under a sink can usually wait for a regular appointment.
- Can a burst pipe be fixed in one visit? Often, yes, when the damage is limited to one short section. Once the water is off, a plumber can cut out that section and replace it. A longer run of failing pipe may need a second, scheduled visit.
Is the Leak Bigger Than One Pipe?
Sometimes the water you’re mopping up comes from somewhere other than the pipe in front of you. If water shows up with no visible leak, our leak detection team can track it down. When several drains back up at once, sewer line repair may be the next step. If the leak is at your water heater’s valves or connections, our water heater repair service covers it. Call (817) 518-3309 to book the visit you need.

How Much Does Emergency Plumbing Cost in Fort Worth?
Urgent repairs at Service Squad start with a $79 diagnostic. The repair price then depends on what failed and where. Reaching a break under the slab or behind finished walls takes far more labor than replacing a fitting under a sink. That labor drives most of the difference.
You’ll get a clear price for the repair before any work begins, so you can decide how to proceed. Members of our Plumbing Inspection & Maintenance plan get front-of-the-line priority service and a discounted diagnostic on service calls.
Common Plumbing Emergencies We Fix in Fort Worth
Hard freezes like Winter Storm Uri put attic and outside-wall lines at risk. North Texas clay can shift buried sewer lines, and hard-water sediment wears on water heater tanks. Each can put water on your floor in an afternoon.
Freeze-Split Supply Pipes
Ice can split a supply pipe during a hard freeze. The leak often starts once the pipe thaws, with hissing in a wall or a spreading ceiling stain. Your plumber shuts off the line, cuts out the split section, and pressure-tests the repair.
Sewage Backing Up Into Drains
Tree roots or a sagging pipe can block the main sewer line, especially in an older home. Water rises in the tub when a toilet flushes. We clear the line, then run a camera to see whether the pipe needs repair.
Leaking Water Heater Tanks
A worn-out anode rod can let a tank rust from the inside, and hard-water sediment can speed that up. Water pools around the base, sometimes with rust stains. With the heater shut off, the plumber rules out a valve leak and replaces the tank only if it’s rusted through.
