Plumbing Services in Houston
This page is the starting point for every service on the site. Pick the category that matches what is happening at your property, read the page, then send a request. If two categories seem to fit, start with the more urgent one.
What type of plumbing service do you need?
Something is flooding or will not stop
Burst pipe, open leak, sewage coming up. Water damage gets worse by the hour.
Emergency plumbing →The bill went up and nothing looks wrong
Hidden leaks show up on the bill and in the slab before you see them.
Leak detection →A fixture is broken or dripping
Running toilet, dripping faucet, a shut off valve that will not turn.
Plumbing repair →It keeps happening
The same drain backs up every few weeks. That is usually the main line.
Sewer and drain →Residential plumbing
Most requests that come through this site are single family homes. Repairs to toilets, faucets, tub and shower valves, angle stops, supply lines, garbage disposals and hose bibs. Drain work on kitchen and bathroom lines. Water heater repair and replacement. Leak work on supply lines, drain lines and under slab piping.
A lot of Houston housing stock sits on a slab, which changes how a leak is found and repaired. There is no crawl space to inspect, so the work starts with isolating the line before anything gets opened up.
Commercial plumbing
Restaurants, salons, small offices, warehouses, retail and multi unit buildings have different constraints. Grease handling, floor drains, mop sinks, backflow devices, commercial water heaters and work that has to happen outside business hours.
If you manage a property, say so in the request. Access, after hours entry and who signs off on the work matter more than the repair itself.
Installation work
Not every request is a failure. Fixture swaps, a new toilet, a kitchen faucet, a tankless conversion, adding a shut off valve where there was never one. Installation requests are usually scheduled rather than urgent, so include the model you bought or want, and a photo of the existing connections.
Problem to service, in plain terms
Water on the floor with no obvious source: leak detection, then repair.
One fixture drains slowly: drain cleaning at that fixture.
Every fixture on one side of the house drains slowly: main line, camera inspection first.
Hot water runs out in five minutes: water heater repair or a capacity problem.
Water heater has rust colored water or a wet base: replacement is likely on the table.
Sewage smell in the yard after rain: sewer line, not a drain clog.
Questions people ask us
Do I need to know what is wrong before I send a request?
No. Describe what you see and hear. Where the water is, which fixtures are affected, when it started, and whether it is getting worse. That is enough to route the request and for a plumber to know what to bring.
Can one visit cover two problems?
Often yes. List both in the request. A slow drain and a dripping faucet are usually one trip. A sewer camera inspection and a water heater replacement are usually two, because they need different equipment.
