What It Costs
Emergency plumbing is priced by the job, not the hour, and you approve the number before we touch a wrench. After-hours calls carry an emergency dispatch fee that is credited toward the repair when you proceed.
A burst supply line repair is a very different job from a collapsed sewer line, so ranges are wide — but you will never get a surprise invoice. Typical emergency repairs in our service area run $250–$1,500 depending on the failure.

Emergency Plumbing FAQs
How fast can you actually get here?
Our trucks are based in the northeast San Antonio metro, so most emergency calls in Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City, Live Oak, Converse, and Selma see a plumber within 45–60 minutes. New Braunfels and Seguin typically run 60–75 minutes. Dispatch gives you a live ETA when you call.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
Shut off the water at the fixture stop or the main shutoff (usually at the meter box near the curb or where the line enters the house). For gas smells, leave the house and call from outside. Our dispatcher stays on the line and walks you through it.
Do you charge extra at night or on weekends?
After-hours calls carry an emergency dispatch fee, which we credit toward the repair if you approve the work. The repair itself is priced from the same flat-rate book we use at 2pm on a Tuesday.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Anything actively causing damage or making the home unusable: burst or frozen pipes, sewage backing up, no water to the house, a failed water heater flooding the garage, or a gas odor. Not sure? Call — we will tell you honestly whether it can wait for a regular appointment.
Can you handle burst pipes after a freeze?
Yes — freeze events are our busiest weeks. During the January 2026 arctic outbreak we ran extended crews across the metro. We repair the burst, check the rest of the system for hidden splits, and can add freeze protection so it does not happen again.
